Per Google, it's 36F in Houston real time which puts it in the "tad nippy" category.

I love Behlen's Rockhard Table Top Varnish, but if you're sanding for a repair or a re-coat and you happen to break through from one coat into the next, it

*will* give you "witness lines". DAMHIKT. This is why I tend to prefer lacquer type finishes where later coats always "melt" into prior coats.

Based on that description, it sounds like Waterlox isn't that much different than Behlen's Rockhard... What do you perceive the differences to be Larry?

You have it already!!!!!! LOL

Now be careful....

An old friend of mine that I have been dragging kicking and screaming into the 21st century now has more nail guns than me, think. ;~) He has never owned a router but asked my advice. He bought a double base combo, Bosch IIRC and a router table, "he did not know they existed 3 weeks ago", and 1, "one", router bit.

He called me this morning to tell me how rounding over some white oak went with that "1" bit with the router in the router table. I think he almost squealed. ;~) Another slippery slope.

And it is not even Christmas yet. LOL.

Hah! She didn't want the maid using them, or what?

That would tend to lower the usability factor a tad. but an Azebiki would get in there and fix things in a hurry, huh?

It's 28F here right now, due for 18F tomorrow morning. Ditto Monday, when I go off workin' again. Brrrrr! My Columbia long johns are all ready for me to don when I go back out in those temps.

But at least I have more work coming in at this time of year. I think I'm going to regret one client's yard maintenance (I usually don't do that but this lady is paying me $30/hr to rake leaves, so she's a keeper.) from December to February or March. That account pays all my monthly bills except the truck payment.

Yeah, I hear that. I'm heavily into rubbing vs. spray finishes, and the oils tend to melt and meld nicely.

Night and day. Rockhard is a thick, shiny finish while Waterlox is a thin, rubbing finish which allows the feel of the wood to come through. I use the satin, BTW. While Waterlox -can- be applied thickly, it has a whole different feel, even at that thickness. It could be the quantity of oil in Waterlox. It's mostly tung oil.

I've never sanded an old, weathered, abused Waterlox finish, so I don't know if it'd leave witness lines, but I've never seen a WL in new finish application and smooth sanding between coats.

You bet. Don't forget Taco Bell (everything) and Jack in the Box (that leetle Franch restaurant in town) tacos.

'Course when I build a Dagwood at home, it has an inch of lettuce and or sprouts in it.

If you figure that they get you in there for the dollar and a half dog, then you spend your normal _minimum_ of $100 on other crap there, they make a killing by trapping you with the dog in the first place. Excellent marketing ploy, wot?

That particular loss leader ALWAYS turns a profit for 'em.

Ah, that's the ticket. Thanks for that one. Only wish you had told me twenty years ago!

I called Environment Canada's weather service today. Turns out we have a little extra cool weather we can spare. So, we are sending our Southern friends some of our finest coolness.

Enjoy!

What do you do to enjoy such cold weather? Build an ice rink or go out skidding (slipping, sliding etc on skis or motor vehicle or sleds)? (Hm... at such temperatures ice rinks might have to have their heaters on to get ice rinks warm enough to skate on!)

Yep, seems winter is coming a little early here.

Wind is the worst of it though. Hopefully it doesn't blow any oranges off the trees, they aren't quite ripe yet.

[Larry Blanchard]

We received it here in Spokane - supposed to get down to -3F tonight with a wind chill of -20-30F.

You can have it back anytime you want it :-).
