I have used the blue sticks and the pure stuff ,they seem to set up differently but once you use either one for a while both work just fine to me, so I started making my own sticks with both of them combined and that works ok too, What do you use?
Beeswax / blue sticks or 100% pure ?

I used to use this stuff that had a guy that looked like a "Mr. Clean" muscle man on the round container......yellow powdery stuff. It setup hard as a rock. So, you needed to smooth it off with a putty knife too

Bondo
I set up my recently purchased Gold Crown III and used regular car bondo. It was my first time using the stuff and was amazed by how fast it set up. It was workable and then BAM, hard!!
I cut little pieces of playing cards so as not to fill the phillips screw heads on the slate screws.
This was my first table set up ever. It turned out real well.
I found some old Brunswick decals on Ebay. It was a great finishing touch.

I use bondo to do only perminate major slate repairs. I use only 100% pure Bees Wax on the joints. And if you are really good at laying the slate many times I don't even need that. I don't think I would want to use bondo on the joints and have to come back and disassemble,move and reassemble a table with the slates bondo-ed togather. Besides when you start sanding on slate it is easy to screw up and the less opporturities I give myself to screw up the better!

The bondo will come right off in the seam with a razor scraper. The one piece slate already exists, Diamond uses it in their 9 foot ProAm's and sometimes in their 9 foot Professionals.Dawgie said:
