Thanks Paul. No will be early in the new year. Cheers Gidon

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Festool-Ets-150-3 ... 2632wt_926 A bargain at only £70 more than from a Festool dealer!! Cheers Gidon

And looks like you need two MFTs to use it!! Would be nice though ... Have a look on FOG- I'm sure there'll be lots of comments on it if no one has it here. Cheers Gidon

Thanks Chaps - yes have a website - but fairly basic at the moment - concentrating on getting the shop open. Trouble is Olly - I know the water based stuff at least has a short shelf life. Would be nice to have a store nearby :(. (Devon's a big county - Axminster in no where near me really)...

Yippee - pretty much finished - got it to the shop today - that was fun! Just need to attach the plinth to the counter itself - will post of pic of it when done. The spraying went well - the Earlex is so easy to use. I got a coat of Chestnut Cellulose Sanding sealer on Thursday evening. And...

Don't know about Worktop oil - but here is the Plastic Coating referred to in this thread: http://www.rustins.eu/Details.asp?ProductID=857 Cheers Gidon

You can clean up a certain amount before unclamping but not much I find. And I leave the clamps on as long as I can! I find a wet rag is best for getting rid of glue I can get too. But will trying popping it out thanks. Cheers Gidon

3% + VAT increase on Festool stuff too I've been told :(. Cheers Gidon

What sort of machine - high speed or water cooled? If you're talking about the Tiger 2000 or 2500 - don't use the above recommendations to true the stone! If water cooled - even for an expensive machine you'll need the truing tool at some stage. Cheers Gidon

The date of the post is 2004 so prolly not! Check out the Earlex HV5000 - you can get 10% on the Screwfix price if you subscribe to their newsletter. Cheers Gidon

Funny got the same thing myself this morning! They must have some campaign on. Cheers Gidon

TBIII. You can get rid of some bits - but the glue line between the lipping and veneered boards is really tricky :(. Cheers Gidon

Some more progress this week - got nothing done over the weekend - had people to stay ... Sanding this sort of project is a real headache - so easy to go through the thin veneer trying to get rid of glue spots that I haven't been able to scrape away. Details on Flickr: I need to...

Thanks Steve - don't think that's what I was getting although reading up on it it does sound a worry. I've got to do a big piece today - so too early to say I'm getting good results yet!! :). Yes the Earlex has only really has one control other than fan shape (fluid control) - compared to the...

Thanks Steve - would you say it's too cold for the Chestnut Melamine Lacquer too? What problems do you get with lower temperatures on the non- water-based stuff so I know what to look out for if the temperature gets lower? I'm spraying in the shed I built recently - so indoors - but no...

Nice one - the Dominoes in the Systainer kit should last you a bit ... Enjoy! Cheers Gidon

I'll buff it out when I get it to my shop - may get a few dings along the way! A spray booth or tent would be nice - I agree - I saw one made using insulation sheets (kingspan stuff) - great idea - light and folds to not much. Not sure what sort of extraction fan you need though - must dig up...

Thanks Simon. Well tried spraying some of the Chestnut Melamine Lacquer - it's like night and day - it's much easier to spray and is going on really nicely with my current spray kit. I've not even thinned it. It's much much less viscous than the acrylic lacquer. Although even with my mask I am...

Wizer - I've done a test piece with Liberon Finishing Oil and Ac Lacquer - and the difference is dramatic - I'm assuming it would be similiar with another oil like Osmo but of course don't know - no don't have any. Thank you for the offer - very good of you! Don't worry - I'm going to go with...

Jeff - sorry posts crosses. Minimum 17C - that makes more sense :oops:! That's great to know - I'm spraying at <10C - in an unheated shed with doors open - it was approaching <5C probably. So Melamine lacquer doesn't have those problems? Cheers Gidon
