Hello People,
How goes everything? I finished using the Behlen's Rockhard cut 25% with the reducer. I put down 7 layers sending with 320grit every 2 days. Now I'm going to let it sit for 3 weeks.
I was trying my sanding and polishing technques and (all by hand on a small area), I first hit it with 400 then 800 then 1,000 and last 1,500 all wet sanding.
Then Menzerna stuff
2L Paste Pre-Polish Compound #1
16 fine Polishing Compound
P091E Intensive Polish
Last Car clear coat so I could slide a shot across the top.
I see scratches.
Could this be because I did it by hand? Do I need a machine?
Or maybe I used a cheap cloth to rub the Menzerna stuff?
How about I didn't use any lube with Menzerna.
Last when I sanded the higer grit to I have to sand for a longer time?

Hi Everyone,
Next week it will be a month after I put on the Behlen's rockhard. I had put 7 layers each cut 10% with the reducer and sanding 48 hours after each layer. When will it become hard so I can start the final sanding and polishing? I can still smell the varnish if I sniff it.

If it's be in an area where the temperature has been above 55 degrees, it should be ready for rubbing out now.

[Brian Schursky]

How goes it?
The Bar is done. Just got to add the little extras.









Of course the boss lady (wifey) has to have one of these things install somewhere.

Hey Per.
What is the reason for not using a tack rag?

[Brian Schursky]

Hi everyone. Hope life is good for you all.
Finaly got to put the pole up.

Hi Everyone and good morning.
It has been a few months and a few parties since I had finished the Bar project.
The top is going strong. It handles any party.






We decided to call it a Bar Galley because of the shape of the bar and where th sink and the alcohol is.

Good Morning Everyone,
It has been 10 months with the Bar. It's still working out very well. Before a party I hit the top with some Windex and then some cheap car polish (non abrasive) and it's good to go. I can slide a drink across the top.
I was redoing a bathroom and took out a wall and low ceiling so we added a overhang over the bar last week. I guess reclaimed lumber makes me green. Hahahah Here are some pics.

[Jim Becker]

The overhang was a great idea...it really kicks the whole thing up a notch!

Hey thanks Jim. It was the boss lady's idea.
Always laugh at your Red Buttons Quote
