#westsystemepoxy

Once more with all the pictures in one post. Friday my 8' Pflueger micro spin graphite rod caught the wind while it sitting in my boat while towing to the lake. The wind flipped up the rod and snapped it a few inches into the second section of the pole. I decided to try and fix it with a technique that uses a dowel inside and a braided line wrap with epoxy on the outside, using the broken ends as the tool to align the pieces, and keeping the original length. I found a small dowel and sanded it to fit, locking it in place with my West System epoxy. Then I wrapped the outside with 20 lb test Berkley FireLine that I had on hand and coated it with two coats of the epoxy. Now it needs to be tested. #woodwork #woodworking #woodworker #westsystemepoxy #westsystem #fishing #fishingpole #berkleyfishing #pfluegerreels #pfluegerfishing #pflueger #troutfishing #fishingpoles #outdoorsman #outdoors #outdoorlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYT_O6jka6/?igshid=1swrp1whszp5x

Finally closed escrow on the West System epoxy resin. So now I have the 105 with the 205 Fast Hardener. I apparently needed a co-signer for the slow hardener, and low density filler, as I'm still waiting in that. But at least I can start using it now when I need it. #woodworking #westsystemepoxy

After two years of putting it off, I finally took out the second mortgage needed, to purchase a setup of West System epoxy. Buying from multiple vendors on Amazon, saved a slight amount of money, so the rest will be trickling in throughout the week. The pumps here, were the first to arrive. I bought a gallon of resin, and one quart each, of the slow, and fast hardener, as well as a can of low density filler. #woodworking #westsystem #westsystemepoxy

Working on some walnut and curly maple clip boards. I used double sided tape to secure the maple and walnut boards together then cut out Wisconsin using my scroll saw. I used epoxy to secure the opposite color state inside each cutout. After it dried I used my bandsaw to re-saw each board into four thin pieces. There were a few bubbles in the epoxy that I'm filling in this photo. #make #maker #woodworking #makersgonnamake #wisconsin #clipboard #curlymaple #walnut #westsystemepoxy #epoxy #inlay
