Re: [bolger] Tile Board Update

If you're ever stuck with a long trip to town that would spoil the day's
building, you can also use those little paraffin bricks for they have for
canning. Melted and painted on works too.

Well, I salvaged the taped butt joint yesterday. Tried the heat gun, but
that seemed to "vulcanize" the white coating to the glass tape.

Brute force carried the day - power planer until the back of the white coat
showed, then 36 grit belt sander.

This was a strange incident; I have always felt the various epoxies were
essentially the same, and I have had my moments with bad mix ratios and
such, but I was truly surprised at the reaction with the tile board. The
paste wax sounds like the way to go - wax paper has never stuck to any epoxy
in my projects.
