    So far it seems to be working. I'm not an expert at refinishing with shellac and so far getting the worn area to blend has been a little disappointing. There is quite a bit of build and levelling...

    So far I've done / learned the following:
    1. E85 can be all the way up to 51% gasoline and is not necessarily 85% Ethanol
    2. The E85 I picked up smells like it does have a high percentage of...

    Lots of opinions of course on why it will (likely) not work which very well may be the case. Many of the compounds in petroleum are also paint chemicals. Sure, it may not work, but the intent of the...

    I had seen a video recently that said adding naptha, kerosene, or even mineral oil can help with keeping the pad from sticking. I'd put gasoline in the same category (petroleum) as mineral oil,...

    I wonder why DNA has gotten difficult to find. It used to be in pretty much ANY hardware or big box. As far as EPA or ozone etc, obviously they have no problem with ethanol (to drink).
  7. Has anyone tried E85 (85% Ethanol) for Shellac Flakes?

    I realize gasoline is a safety concern (explosion/fire hazard, fumes for breathing, etc). I'm not looking for a discussion on safety at this time. Similar to how gas is used to clean carburetor parts...

    I've never seen one withOUT a tracking adjustment. I'm asking if there's one that actually stays tracked for long periods without messing with the adjuster. I have had P.C., B&D, Tool Shop (Menards...

    It only takes a second and could happen to any of us!

    One thing a pro woodworker taught me for table saws, but also applies here... hook as many fingers over the fence as possible and just push ...
  10. Belt Sander that actually tracks? Any good belt sander suggestions?

    I find that I'm usually moving the belt back and forth quite a bit as I sand just to keep it centered on the rollers. Do expensive belt sanders track and stay tracked?

    Two related questions:

    I like to use 7 1/4 blade on everything (as well as regular old circular saw) when I'm cutting something like MDF or plywood. I find baltic birch to take chips out of the carbide sometimes and MDF to...
  12. Best 24 tooth 7 1/4" blade value (i.e. $ per cut)

    By value I don't necessarily mean the cheapest, but which blade has had a good long life vs price paid. I've used Dewalt 24t blades for years and they seem to be ok but I don't have enough...
  13. Old Porter cable 3x24 belt sander drive roller rubber worn Possible to buy a new one?

    This old metal case 3x24 sander runs good but the belt won't track well and I think it's the drive roller being worn out. Is it possible to get another drive roller or maybe new rubber sleeve?

    Just watched a video of a guy using one of the purple $15 HF "HVLP" guns. I don't care for those at all and have a couple. Now I have a good way to justify throwing them away... lol!

  15. Cabinet Shops... What adhesive (brand) for Formica / Laminate?

    I have spray equipment for lacquer but nothing really setup for thick viscosity... so unless there's a good cheap gun out there, I'm going to have to roll or brush on.

    Will that give me an...

    Excellent and thanks. I had read on the can that a knuckle should come off dry but a little sticky (at least I thought it said a little tacky I'll read it again). I watched several videos that show...

    Exactly. This is my beef with the router. I'm going to ditch the router comb in favor of a TS when it comes time to do box joints again. I was just making sure that I wasn't missing anything.

    In my experience (2015 or 16), HF bits tend to be soft and bend. For bargain bin cheapos, the Menards 100 for $15 have been fine. I sharpen when they dull (drilling steel usually). I'll have to try...
