As it is. I have watched this video several times.
Don't worry, it'll all make sense when you see me do it, Paul kind of made me dizzy too
Just teasing Paul if you're reading this
Paul saved my a$$ on a Diamond install in KY about 3 years ago. I had to leave a job unfinished for 3 days, I was crushed and defeated. Paul agreed to come on the job and helped ME solve the problem. I love the fact that he did not come to my clients home and TAKE OVER. He let me do my job and assisted me in determining what I (<----- KEY FACT) did wrong. Many people would do the exact opposite, they would SHOW me what I did wrong and fix it. I appreciate that Paul did not cheat me of the opportunity to work through it. I had to figure it out and he taught me with his KNOWLEDGE BASE and not his EGO!Don't worry, it'll all make sense when you see me do it, Paul kind of made me dizzy too

Another plus in this situation: I got to demonstrate my Simonis Glue down method( Yup, I do it my own way) to him after we got the other issues sorted. We were there for 3-4 hours, customer was completely satisfied and the story ended the way it should always: HE GOT WHAT HE PAID FOR. I got lessons and feel blessed about what started out as a dicey situation!
THANKS PAUL SMITH !!!

PS> SHOUT OUT TO STEVE SMITH TOO< TEAM SMITH DOES GREAT WORK AND TONS OF IT FOR DIAMOND!!!
Now if they would have just listened to me about how to take superglue slates apart, they wouldn't have broken the end slate on a 9ft professional, 30mm thick, instead of it breaking apart at the seamPaul saved my a$$ on a Diamond install in KY about 3 years ago.

acetone is your FRIEND that devolves superglue
DANG! That sucks. FINGERNAIL POLISH(cheap acetone>?) if ya cant get to good ole HOME DEPOT for acetone!!! I never want to have a slate break and would not even wish that on any of my "fanclub"!! LOLNow if they would have just listened to me about how to take superglue slates apart, they wouldn't have broken the end slate on a 9ft professional, 30mm thick, instead of it breaking apart at the seam
Anyone could have made that mistake, but I talked to Paul afterwards, and the use of acetone never crossed his mind, but said he'd remember it now.

What dissolves broken off staples? This will test RKC's skills...Now if they would have just listened to me about how to take superglue slates apart, they wouldn't have broken the end slate on a 9ft professional, 30mm thick, instead of it breaking apart at the seam

I know what doesn't work...cussing them. Then Samuel Jackson called and told me to stop using his trademark.Willpower and whatever redneck engineering will get those bastards out!
I like Samuel Jackson, he has a way of getting his point across with his voice and word selection.
When I was stripping my Anniversary rails in preparation for sending to Jack Zimmerman for overhaul I experimented with attempting to remove all the staples. It appeared to me that not many mechanics that had worked on my table over the last 60 years, or so cared much about getting all those staples out.
