General Scroll Saw Talk / Aleens tacky glue

« on: November 08, 2011, 06:39:02 pm »

I used a oil stain on my backer board and BLO on my fretwork.
After 24 hrs I sprayed both my backer and both sides of my fretwork with Krylon Acrylic satin spray, Should I use Aleens tacky glue to glue my backer to the fretwork ( will it hold ) or should I use epoxy glue?

I have used a number of floor standing planers, and currently use a 15" powermatic with a spherical cutterhead. If I could make a suggestion, when you are running boards that thin through the planer they can lift off the bed once they have passed the feed roller causing snipe and/or the chipping you refer to. A simple old method of controlling it is to put a piece of similar thickness scrap alongside the board you are planning a few inches before the end of the board enters the planer. Also, if the board is at all long, use outfeed tables or rollers so the outfeed end of the board doesn't tend to drop and raise the part still under the cutters.

Billthediver. Do you mean put a board through as well that is a few inches longer than the board youre planing so that you dont get snipe?.

I have used the clay in maple and baked for 30min at the right temp.
Let it cool then sand. It worked fine for me

I also have cut some patterns out of poplar in the past and accidently dropped them on the basement cement floor.
They didnt survive and broke so now Im using mostly maple.

Computer questions / Fire fox not keeping me logged in

« on: October 14, 2011, 12:02:57 am »

I started using fire fox a few days ago and when I sign in to the scrollsaw workshop I click ( always stay logged in ) and I backspace the 60 minutes and click ok.
If I go out I have to resign in again, only with Firefox? How do I stay logged in?
Works fine for IE
