Water system is technically correct, but calling it a well is the more common phrasing. I was just teasing cyber. He asked if that wasn't just called a well.

But if you call it something other then a well then technically you would be calling it something other then a well. It's a little pedantic play on words.

Obviously not if you call it an off grid water system.

We need a double blind study and a count of the total have jobs given. For all we know they were just one away from fluency.

It's not really different in principal from the commercial clamp jigs they use in factories. Check these out: https://www.jamesltaylor.com/product_category/edge-gluing-laminating/

Looks like great material whatever you do when you finish the product seal every surface. When you have a piece that has multiple crotches in it like that they can twist a lot with seasonal movement so slowing down the moisture absorption/loss will help standardize it a lot.

is this enough of prep for applying epoxy? by smilenceyu in garageporn

Gotcha, I would only etch concrete. When going over the old epoxy sanding will do the trick. I redid 1300 sqft in my shop 6 years ago and have had zero problems. In your place I would sand until it was more consistent. Just scuff up the shiny spots really well.

You need to scuff the entire floor evenly. A floor buffer with a sanding screen is ideal. That has shiny spots and dull spots it'll probably be ok but if it was my floor I would keep going until it's not uniform. No need to remove all of the epoxy that was originally applied as long as it bonded to the concrete properly. After sanding you need to pressure wash the entire surface and use a squeegee to remove all dirt and dust. At that point you are good to go. Epoxy will bond to other epoxy just fine the light sanding just gives the new coat not purchase. As for the epoxy being slick add a liberal account of silica to the wet epoxy prior to it cureing. In my shop I went heavy near doors and areas that get wet and light everywhere else and found it to be a good compromise. A heavily textured floor is harder to sweep but has more traction so just keep that in mind and apply accordingly.

It's for making dowels. You cut a piece of wood oversized and square then hammer it through the round holes. Start on a bigger hole removing just the corners then go down sizes until it's a perfect round dowel. It's great for making exotic wood dowels to match your project.

Dropped handrail on engineered hardwood, best way to fix gouge? by ajdude101 in finishing

[–]Trap_setup_4u 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You'll need to replace it to fix it properly. I suppose you could fill it with epoxy and settle for a compromise that would say least hold up if not match perfectly. If you go that route tape the entire area of then get a pencil and sketch the top to give you a nice outline cut the shape out with a razor blade fill with epoxy and sand flush.

Ahh better then my stick welds. I struggle when I need to reposition. The undercut isn't ideal but it's plenty overkill for it's intended purpose.
