The two turning clubs I belong to are approx. 40 miles apart where they meet. We share expenses where possible and buy in bulk for Anchorseal, abrasives and CA glue. That leads me to an unfortunate event. Because we get the Anchorseal in 55 gal drums [sometimes 5 gal. buckets] we generally use gallon size milk containers or bleach containers to put the stuff in,
Well, over the weekend, I lost about 2/3rds gallon of Anchorseal.........somehow the milk jug just developed a hole in the bottom edge and it just went out all over my floor and ran underneath my big bandsaw. What I found was this .......this is the tip:
If you will take sawdust and curlees from you dust collector, and sprinkle generously over the Anchorseal, and stir it with the end of a board or something you don't mind throwing away or cleaning, then the sawdust will wick up that stuff and you can get it off your shop floor.
This stuff is too expensive to waste! At least I did not pay full retail..........our club sells it at $10 per gallon to its members. I hope no one else has a situation like this, but this clean up tip will work if it does ever happen to you!
