MAJOR FAIL!
Looks like the MEK leached under the wrap and prep-seal.
Oh, well. Will continue with the Caswell seal.
And contemplate in agony...
Bummer...Looks like the MEK leached under the wrap and prep-seal.
Aw crap, that sucks!contemplate in agony...
Now here's a guy who understands stress risers and gussets.Today I tacked in the neck gussets and seat rail cross brace and upright to seat rail gusset. I`ll TIG it all together next week after I make a few more tabs.View attachment 110105 View attachment 110106
That's a real bummer, I've used caswells many times with great results but have always washed with soapy water and drywall screws, then dry washed with rubbing alcohol to absorb excess moisture, then air-dry, this for painted tanks , for tanks I am going to paint I use acetone.Step #10, of a 20+ step process.

Yes I just found tonight that you can move the handle to all four 90's any time the tool holder is off the post. I am really scratching my head over the trigon insert holders grizzly supplies with the lathe. In order to use them the tool post has to be set off of a perfect 90 which kind of defeats the qctp idea. Prolly going to get some different holders with a better angle. The whole carbide insert dealy is a deep end of the pool learning curve! Didn't have the QC parting tool here yet so finagled a ground 3/8" tool into the holder, it worked well.GggGary, is that your QCTP locking handle in the pic?

If so, did you know that if you re-index it 90° clockwise, then it won't interfere with the forward dovetail tool insertion?
Not sure why they sell em that way, but the QC I bought for the Atlas came the same way. It's a pain when using a boring tool. I re-indexed mine.GggGary, is that your QCTP locking handle in the pic?
