I don't work with it a lot. I have some large pieces that I make into
smaller pieces. I don't know this for sure what adhesive is used, but i saw a picture on the internet of a fella working with Corian and guess what I saw in the background? West Systems epoxy! A Ha!

Hey Richard, I've seen your pics before. Nice boat.
I had an entire web site with hundreds of pictures but had to get rid of that I/P. I don't have any pict on the new server yet. Do you have pics of your boat, Dan? Mine is; http://www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb/c18-cab.htm#top Richard |

Lots of projects out in the cold, damp, slushed up shop/garage are getting ignored for a while. Too much slop brought in by the vehicles to even fire up the heater, it just gets too humid. Downstairs shop is toasty warm but pretty small. I can barely get to the drill press because those 5 boxes of sensors, VFD's, DC motors controls, relays, and such that I scored for free last summer are stacked in the wrong spot. But the body is still recovering from too much turkey and too many relatives from yesterday. Wes wrote: I went out to the garage today. The machines were waiving at me saying play with me, play with me, but it was too cold. How many are in this situation at the moment? Wes I have one shop with hydronic heat and the other has a propane trailer furnace installed in the attic area. The trailer furnace was a free one from a guy tearing down a couple old trailers. Just installed it upstairs with the ductwork dropping below the rafters. Then some 4x10 ducts to the corners. Cold air return runs down the back wall behind the workbench so it is out of sight. The hydronic is real nice. No cold floor to walk/lay on when your working under a vehicle and because I also installed a short loop out under the apron and part of the driveway there is a nice clean area for folks to park on. Hydronic is not good if you want heat NOW though as it takes a while to heat all the thermal mass. I installed a couple more heating systems in the shop as well. I have the original boiler that has a gas burner on one end and an oil burner on the other, then I put together a used oil burner unit with a heat exchanger and installed a couple of LARGE electric water heaters as well. -- Steve W. |

This is the 2nd Year I'm running it and I have yet to see any rust caused by it on any of the cast iron or steel that gets left out. I think the fact that the shop is a little drafty (the fan pressure probably pushes some of the humidity out), and winters in the Chicago area make the air super dry (the water vapor probably makes the humidity higher than 0 but less than high) probably make it OK. |
