hey twizz,
keep your cool.
I cut my glass over the locator pins during layup, while wetting out the first layer of glass with reused old razor blades. The middle is usually still sharp enough to cut the glass pretty easy.

Smooth-on.com is the place to go.
This stuff is pretty awesome. easy to color, I even ripped out some old sidewalls on boards and poured in urethane to repair.

Talked to tech support, they said it holds its properties at 0F.
I'm a proponent.

Base Grinder User Manuals

We picked up a grindrite st1800 and st600 this summer. I am looking for the manual for the st600. I have the manual for the other.

Anyone know of one posted online?
If not, I'll scan my manual up to a pdf.
Maybe others can contribute for their machines?

What are they saying is brittle? The cold or the mold process? I'm using smooth on because it is really easy. Other guys are using other stuff that has better mechanical properties, but requires some setup. An MDF mold would work as long as you have a proper nonstick layer. One hurdle is making thic...

Tracing, rough cut with a band saw, glue on, and sand with a belt sander is what I've been using. Sidewall profiling is a struggle for sure. I glue on my sidewalls. When I go to sand them the bonds still usually peel off because sanding heats up the plastic. Plus it makes a mess even a shop vac atta...

I checked out those urethanes. Definately awesome stats. The downside is that they need to be baked at 200F+ in order to cure. Plus it needs to be ventilated so you don't see unicorns and mermaids. Anyway. Did some testing on the urethane. Had some guys at mt hood testing this summer and got thumbs ...
