One question: how long should I cut the tube so the flaring is sufficient? 1/4" longer than the transom thickness? More? Less?

How does a dishwasher form a flair?

Oh well, I can always use the excess for something.

My garage is full of, "ikinuse's".

A couple of days ago, about 48 hours after application, the epoxy may have been a little tacky, so I wrote this post to get advice. Yesterday, about 96 hours after application, the epoxy was definitely no longer tacky, so I started sanding. It sanded like a champ, with no clogging up of the sandpape...

I have encapsulated some Doug Fir pieces with System Three Silver Tip. Any opinions on how long to cure until I can sand without clogging up my sandpaper with globs? I plan on using a random orbit sander with 150 grit to flatten the epoxy and scratch it up a bit for painting. Many products give a cu...

And maybe you can turn it into some kind of design idea? Sometimes when I am planing a board, the grain changes and I get tear out. If I don't care to start with a new board, I fill the void with ground turquoise and CA glue. It changes a "Oops", into a, "Eww-Ahh."

Bob The power of this foam is surprising. They just used it to try to level my driveway. One psi is 144 pounds per sq. ft. Quarter inch steel plate weighs 10 pounds per sq. ft. Bill When the approach to a bridge has sunken too much, we, (Caltrans), drill holes in the material underneath and inject ...

Hi Is there a reason that main stringers are listed as DF and not Hard wood? I am thinking Utile, Sipo? I am thinking Monte Carlo? Thanks Steve. I would not let the the non-hardwood designation of Doug Fir effect my choice of using it for a project needing a "hard" wood. Doug fir is plenty dense an...

What Kens said.

Still love my Sawstop, but yesterday learned that a drop of sweat on material will cause the brake to engage just as well as a finger. Expensive lesson, but on a positive note, I know the safety brake works.

For small amounts, I mix on a 12" x 12" porcelain tile that has been in the freezer for an hour or so. I doubt that any epoxy manufacturer would approve of this method, but it has worked for me.

Congrats! It's beautiful.

Looking good TomB. It is amazing to see the solutions people come up with.

Jimmy Y - I read about WR-LPU and this is from System Three: "Buffing and polishing: If a higher level of gloss is desired the cured coat may be sanded and buffed. Wet sand with 600 grit sandpaper proceeding in stages through 1500 grit. Buff with a compound equivalent to 2500 grit and finish with so...

I don't have any advice, but my own experience with color sanding clear finishes, in my case lacquer, is that at any time if the finish goes from shiny and glossy and clear, to duller, it means I have burned through the finish down to the wood. In your case, it sounds as if you sanded through all yo...
