I think you're onto something. I put the epoxy in the knot in early spring when humidity was low. Now we're in the throes of Summer and it's super humid.

Does that mean I shouldn't sand it down?...

Reporting back that I tried more tension, I tried cutting on the fence side, and I tried moving the blade forward on the wheel......still was getting drift.

Changed the blade and that was the...

Thanks for the input. I have the tension cranked almost as high as it will go.

If moving the blade to the front of the tire does not resolve my issue I will buy a new blade.
