Yeah it's going to be a mess to clear up...oh well s**t happens. I'll leave the cleaning up until after the honeymoon, hopefully 10 days all inclusive in a Deluxe Penthouse apartment in Mauritius will chill me out...

Bollocks to that, you want a B&B in Whitby then spend what you was going to on that 5* place on a really nice CNC machine.!!. . . .You'd proabaly have change for an extension to the shed has well. . .

Neil Sorry about the cock up, it happens, its called a learning curve. I was going to comment on the mixing in your picture but now you are doing it again I will. You appear to have mixed it with a round rod I don't think that is good I think you need to do it with a flat piece of thin plywood or plastic as it will mix better. It says that on the WestSystem info about the correct way to mix and not to have the temp to high 20C is about right. Hope you don't mind me pointing this out. ..Clive

Cheers Clive, yep learning curve all right. Just peed off with myself for making such a stupid error. I did mix the epoxy for at least 5 minutes very vigerously in the first container and once poured into the tub again for at least another 5 minutes before pouring it. I will use a flat piece of wood next time. That picture I took was after pouring it (from approx 2' above the tub) into the tub from the forst pot where most of the bubbles had been knocked out.

I came to this thread for sanctuary but it looks like you're having as many problems as I am, sorry to hear about the epoxy.

Cheers, I'll scrape it off and get some more epoxy and do it correctly this time! They're not problems, just small hurdles to get over...all part of the challenge!

You saying my CNC machine isn't going to be really nice eh...eh?? Yeah for the price of the Honeymoon I could have just bought a really nice CNC machine, but where's the fun in that? Much rather make it myself...

Only slightly cheaper than our honeymoon: a long weekend in Lincon. I don't remember getting to spend any more on the CNC though.

If Lincon is Lincoln its lovely, as are the natives. G.
