Alan - have you ever wondered what it was they were sprinkling on your cornflakes? Confused

I haven't got a picture of Dave's wooden tailbox here unfortunately - I'll have to grab one when I see him...

Done a bit of work on a wood seat as the original KMX one is for masochists only. 

Been good as get to practice joining the wood and using my optima seat as a template i know it should be pretty comfy.

Have stuck the wood together on the front side with epoxy and am waiting to harden before lifting and repeating on the back and filling any gaps with epoxy/sawdust mix.

once solid i will cut to seat shape, sand and glass to finish off.

Epoxy?  I take it your garage is heated, or is that your living room? Wink

I would have thought it was too cold for epoxy to harden at the moment.

Quite warm in my garage at the mo. And seemed to harden ok.

Few weeks back it was freezing but last night was short sleeves.

May stick a little heater in if it gets cold again.

It does need to cure properly, preferably at elevated temperatures. It may seem okay until you leave it in the sun, when it may become like toffee (but not as edible).
