Hello Art. 45 min - 1 hour.

Great info. Denatured alcohol, DNA presumably. Certainly cheaper that acetone. Olaf, Brice, where did you two get your epoxy resin, a+b mix? cost? the best I could find on amazon was approx $63...

Chris, my understanding is that this is an A+B mix (resin + hardener) this is referred to as "bar-top" that R. Shelby mentioned. all I know is that the link above is one of several instances on smc...

Pete, thats a good question....presumably, the acetone plays a role in this. https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?260510-Stabilizing-a-started-project&highlight=epoxy+nylon about half way...

Just wanted to take a second and let everyone know how much I appreciate their input. Anyway, I did end up running some 14/3 to the switch, and back out. It was a little tight at entry and exit,...

Just wanted to take a second to say thanks for everyone's input. Its been a huge help.


SWS

Thank you for the replies. I do have another ignorant question or two if you do not mind. Plan to use 12/3 SO corded with the foot switch. That hole is awfully small for one cord in and then back...

In an attempt to keep my shop cost down, Ive been trying to create an inexpensive switch for my HF DC. I saw a used Linemaster 632-DA foot switch for $10.50 and bought it. The problem is that it...

I like the way you think. Like the price too!
