Let me know if I can help you out with this. I awill get it set up for your right the first time. What model table is it?
Not trying to knock anyone, but I just moved a beautiful 9' Brunswick Montebello table today that was previously moved by the folks over at Connelly, and it was not the...
I used a fiber block for a while but just recently started using a piece of Corian (the counter top material) with a piece of cloth glued to it. It works real well and doesn't scratch the wood if you are not being careful.
No worries, I think that might have to do with you having scraped all the wax off as well. I have done that a few times where I was called to a job to "fix" the seams. I just pulled the cloth, scraped the seams, and stapled the cloth back on. Never heard from them again. I think it is a...
I have never used those, but have used some synthetic wax that is probably similar, its almost white, and much harder than bees wax. Sometimes even on the glued seems, the wax wants to make the little ridge.
I used this combination then used the bondo with little strands of fiberglas in it...it is the green stuff. This seemed to stick better, then just waited till it got almost all the way cured, then sanded it off. I was sure to not sand any of the slate...It turned out great. Could not feel a...
I have seen some nasty stuff with wax here in the desert. The wax likes to work its way up the seem of the slate and above the slate seam. I have worked on quite a few tables where the wax has made a ridge about 1/8 inch above the seam.
If wax must be used, I have found that taking a block of...
Yeah I have done that on lots of tables and it works some of the time, but this time its different. It just plain wont stick. I have tried Goo Gone, Goof Off, straight Acetone, carb cleaner, just can't get the bondo to stick to it.
Well just as the title says, how do you get Bondo to stick to slate that has been waxed before? Any special cleaners or chemicals to clean the slate to get the wax off?
I have applied the Bondo to a the seams, and it sticks to most places except to a bout a 6 inch area that just refuses to...
Some Starretts
Talking about levels no one has mentioned the Starrett 199 Master Precision level. Here it is for some comparison of the other levels.
first here is to show the size of the levels from top to bottom:
Starrett 98-18
Starrett 199
Starrett 98-12
Starrett 98-8
This one shows...
I have not done it myself, but seems like either take them to get re-chromed or bronzed by professionals, or powder coating is a popular option as well.
