[John Voigt]

What do you use as a release agent?

  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
