Post: RE: Hickory Wood Filler

Personally I would go with another coat. My fear of trying to touch it up (for me) would be that an otherwise nice paint job would be screwed up with my attempts to repair the missing paint.

Mark, I'm just curious about what your plan is? Has any of this made you re-think your approach? I'm not pimping one way or another...just curious.

John hit it, a whole house system that costs $20K is likely plated in gold. Ours is 7 years old and was $6K back then. That was for everything, the genny, transfer switch and installation.

Seems like if you put an adhesive on it and needed to disassemble it later it would be a headache. Those drrain assemblies aren't that expensive, you don't want tp just replace it?

I've made 3 of the Mr. Sawdust tables for different RAS I've had, and they are my de-facto standard now. I always used MDF for mine though I suppose plywood would work just as well. Should you decide ...
