A quick question... A local mechanic said that you can't use bondo on slates that had previously had been seamed with bee's wax, said it wouldn't adhere. Any comments?
bondo?

He is correct, you can't get bondo to stick to wax... Nothing will stick to wax but wax...
The wax will need to be removed to use bondo and liquid dowels. <~ highly suggested that you do.
I tried many ways of removing beeswax, it's a pain in the ass until you find the way that works like Sunday morning.

Mine was originally waxed. I used heat to get most of it off then lacquer thinner to get the rest cleaned off. It worked, so far.
Turpentine and a rag, wipes the wax right off

That's the stuff that makes removing wax a breeze. Easy like Sunday moring'

Thanks for the tips guys, I've also heard about the turpentine, just wanted to make sure before I tried it the next time I recover my table.
I never use anything else:thumbup:
Gotta love the smell of turpentine in the morning, wakes you up better than coffee:thumbup:

Just don't use this method, followed by heat from a torch...:grin:
