  Dying expoxy
Posted by: jussi - 11-05-2015, 09:41 PM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (5)

Epoxy isn't soluble in water, diluting your colorant in water would be a very bad idea. Also, many of the dyes sold are alcohol soluble, which also doesn't work well with epoxy.

The best colorant for epoxy is a product call Mixol. These are small containers of concentrated oil based dyes ($6/bottle) that work very well with epoxy. Oil based artist pigments will also work; both can be found at most artist supply shops.

  Fridge Built in cabinet
Posted by: jussi - 11-05-2015, 09:38 PM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (1)

The last fridge we bought barely fits in the builder supplied opening. Major prob is that the floor is enough off level to make rolling a fridge in and out something of an a chore and an exercise in panic. I recommend that you leave plenty of room around the fridge space.

  replacement screw for combination square????
Posted by: dspeer - 11-05-2015, 05:23 PM - Forum: Woodworking Hand Tools - Replies (4)

Depending on the brand of your square, the screws may be available. I'd check the manufacturer's website. Starrett's term is "lock bolt assembly": they're here.

If lock bolts to fit yours are not available, you can modify a bolt of the correct thread by cutting a notch in it, then cutting to length and grinding to shape. I've done that with an angle grinder to fix inexpensive squares.

Also, if the square was dropped, you should check that it still locks down accurately square. If it does not, the reference points where the rule touches can be carefully filed to bring it back into spec.

  door bell constact ringing [unless chime box switch is in OFF][
Posted by: varkpilot - 11-05-2015, 02:43 PM - Forum: Home Improvement - Replies (6)

I would disconnect both buttons and see it that improves the situation.

That failing, I would disconnect the wires to the chime.

  lambs wool pad application of oil based poly.
Posted by: Cooler - 11-05-2015, 12:45 PM - Forum: Finishing - Replies (1)

Hey Cooler....
Last winter I refinished a Heart Pine floor in my house. It was installed in 1933 and under linoleum for decades. After sanding, I used a lambs wool applicator for the Waterlox topcoat and was astounded how smooth the finish was. I had not tried the lambswool before...but..wow...that smooth a finish is usually outside my skill set...

It may not be advisable to stimulate such a conversation this early.

in a perfect world I'd have every plane ever made. Oh wait, Rob Lee does and they still sell bevel ups....hmmm
