  I've been using a system that works perfectly the first time every time. I cut the block for a reasonably close fit and then apply an appropriate amount of High Density Adhesive Filler thickened West System epoxy using the West System two-step bonding method. I apply a release agent to the plate flange and screw the block to the plate.

  Wait till epoxy cures, remove block from plate, check fit - and I find it perfect every time!!!

  What, are you some traditional woodwoorking guru 'er sumptin'?

    I have experimented with chalk, graphite and crayon and maybe other products that I've forgotten to show witnessing between plate and pinblock for fitting, and for one reason or another I've not been completely satisfied with any of them. Nothing seems as good as the original graphite coating used by S&S. This original agent works through the fitting process until I get to the very last couple of passes when I've got almost a complete fit and need a couple more re-applications. 
    I would so much appreciate hearing what you use, where you get it and how you mix & apply it.
    Thanks,
    Fenton
