The only suggestion I'd offer (and you probably know this already) is to generously wipe down any glue edge or side first with acetone before you start gluing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15499066574895729396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814931629250831543.post-79139780574370094102012-05-12T04:08:30.232-04:002012-05-12T04:08:30.232-04:00Excellent blog - very inspiring and a source of go...Excellent blog - very inspiring and a source of good advice which I need a lot of! <br /><br />David Greenwood (Seaward) Simple Sailing Low Cost Cruising blogspotSeawardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011891067254067415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814931629250831543.post-71277828575638092252012-02-20T18:22:28.513-05:002012-02-20T18:22:28.513-05:00Great post!Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814931629250831543.post-25554618807319234222012-02-20T14:24:20.737-05:002012-02-20T14:24:20.737-05:00Another option is for the epoxy on the bottom is a...Another option is for the epoxy on the bottom is a carbide scraper.

There was a SPAM tab that I had never seen before. The message about automatic spam filtering wasn't there but there were three spam comments waiting to be deleted. So, I've turned the CAPTCHA deal off on my blog.<br /><br />I'm enjoying following your blog.<br />-SteveSteve and Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762481109499699377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814931629250831543.post-85657762247756889932012-02-18T19:11:40.453-05:002012-02-18T19:11:40.453-05:00Well, I could not make a CAPTCHA box appear using ...Well, I could not make a CAPTCHA box appear using any of the profiles I have.

I think I'll try it. That's one of the things I really don't like about epoxy, so if it works, I will have less to complain about. Always a good thing.<br /><br />About the CAPTCHA thing... I have never seen a captcha box when adding a comment. Not sure what's triggering it for you.

After about 8 hours, the epoxy will be set enough to hold things in place, but still soft enough to trim with a sharp utility knife or bench chisel. Wait much longer and you'll definitely be making that complaint you forecast.<br /><br />Release those clamps one at a time, re-clamping right after release from a mold piece. The goal is an assembly that's still clamped, but released from the mold. Flip the whole assembly over and trim. Re-clamp to the mold if you think it's needed.<br /><br />BTW: I'm breaking my boycott on CAPTCHAs to offer this suggestion. See my blog about same called <a href="http://captchas-must-die.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">CAPTCHAs Must Die</a> ... and be aware that Blogger has not started an automatic spam service.

Well initially I'd say ignore that and figure out what you're going to do on the opposite side for setting the final shape and profile of the "top view". if you've got plenty of width to work with, you can simply saw away the lower epoxy mess as you go to the finished shape. <br /><br />Good Luck, I've enjoyed following your articles all along.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
