<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>I will dive in with a couple of comments on Lakeone (<st1:Sn w:st="on">Webb</st1:Sn>’s)
Wood Rebuilder.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>First, the catalyst is in the powder, and I find people often assume it
is the resin, which makes a difference in figuring out how it behaves.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>The amount needed is not precise and can (and should) be varied to suit
the current use. The more powder used, the thicker the batch. This
also affects set-up time. When you are planning a repair, if you are not
familiar with the product, it’s best to experiment ahead of time to learn
how it will set up at different mixtures so you can plan working time, how much
to mix at one time, etc. You want to find a mix that will be easy to work
for the purpose. For example, filling a small hole, and building a corner,
have very different requirements. Pinblock repair is somewhere in
between.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>Also, if you are shaping a piece, you want to work it as it sets up as
it gets so hard.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>Yes, it is polyester, you’re right <st1:GivenName w:st="on">Terry</st1:GivenName>.
Smells just like Konig.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>Once it is cured, the thin mixture will be just as hard for practical
purposes as the thick, as long as you use enough power to get he catalyst in.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>It does need to set up overnight for pinblock repair, then ream/drill
as <st2:PersonName w:st="on"><st1:GivenName w:st="on">Ed</st1:GivenName> <st1:Sn
w:st="on">Sutton</st1:Sn></st2:PersonName> as written. Do not fill the
hole, or you will have a big job ahead of you. Just swab it in with a
hammer shank, at a consistency that allows it to fill all the cracks and
laminate separations.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>My experience with it in pinblocks is primarily in old uprights where
the money is not there to replace the block, but it is being restrung.
Wood Rebuilder gives back the fresh wood fiber feeling in tuning, no
mushiness. We tried it once and I was so pleased with the tuning results
that we now make this a regular part of those jobs.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>Plugs: while I’m at it I might as well cover this also. We
have both 3/8” and ½” plugs, in maple and Delignit. They are
especially nice as an alternative to replacing grand pinblocks, for example,
that are integrated into the rim, as well as for a few overly loose pins.
We started cutting them when we could not get them, and the Vortex made it
possible to cut them without going through plug cutters at a rate that made it
not economically feasible.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
