Hi Mr. Powell,
Hi Randy, I was just trying to be proper, never could get it correct!!!!! Anyway, I got in a hurry to finish my zero, know better but did it anyway. Remember the old sayin, PAY ME NOW OR PAY ME LATER, well here I am paying later. When I shot the silver coat is when the river began, now its fill sand, fill sand. Its okay I'm used to making a mess out of my planes, (THIS WAY NO ONE WANTS TO STEAL THEM OR EVEN FLY THEM), sounds like a good reason. Thank God and Greyhound for the good old red glazing compound and yes ya have to spread it on and sand all of it off until all the nice big rivers go away. The good part it only takes a few minutes to spread the glazing compound on and several hours to sand it off. Most like to place silkspan over bare wood, I like to play around for many hours filling and sanding. When I use silkspan on bare wood I've sanded through it and that can be a mess. Mr. /////// says to sand in one direction only but I usually sand in a circular motion using different size blocks, if I just use my fingers only I end up with a bigger mess than I started with. After wasting a million coats of clear, cause I've sanded 99.99 per cent of it off. It starts to look like maybe it might work. I'm sure most guys don't make this big of a mess but daddy told me I couldn't never do anything right. I tried being a pipefitter, plumber, welder, boiler maker and a few other dumb things and figured out it was better to retire and let someone that know ed what they was adoing to do it. So here I am filling and sanding and a laughin, Gary (Yes, they even pay me not to do all the things I used to do!!!!)
