I'm in the process of preparing some white oak to glue up for a "plan desk" out in the shop (the kind that has a slanted front you can stand at), and I'm filling a bunch of worm holes. I'm mixing my smallest "pre-measured" quantities but still have excess left over each round. I had been using the excess on some other boards that needed the epoxy to make them "whole" again (splits or other defects), but I ran out of those for the time being.
I'm standing at my work bench (my tablesaw's side feed table) where I do 90% of my jig sawing, routing, drilling, banging, assembling, sanding, dry-staple-gun-firing, etc., and was wondering where to put this excess epoxy instead of throwing it away. Where can I put it? Where can I put it?
And then it dawned on me. Duh! My workbench top!
The top is plastic laminate over an MDF core on a Sears and Roebuck metal cabinet, and it is beat all to heck. Big time. So, I slathered it all over and now it's drying (since 7AM). Tomorrow (or late this evening), I'll ROS it down flat, and I'll have a better work surface!
hehehe!
