For some good information on making scarf joints go to:www.clcboats.comclick on "build a boat"then "how to"then under technical articles, click on"the truth about scarfs"I made several perfect joints using this method. For boats use a 8:1 ratiofor aircraft is between 10:1 and 12:1.This site also has a lot of good info on epoxies and finishing wood.Garyfrgtdog(at)worldnet.att.net________________________________________________________________________________

John,Further to My PCV water filter. I forgot to mention that there was a longhose in between the compressor and a water tank that I used. The first waterseparator was actually at the top (outlet of the water tank) the anothershorter line to the PCV water filter. and finally a cheap plastic waterseparator ( as Ken Beanland mentioned) at the gun. With dope I found thebest pressure to use was around 30 lbs. otherwise it atomizes too much andyou're just spraying into the air. I think I wasted about a gallon at higherpressure and was getting no coverage. Bought another gallon and reduced thepressure and finally got good coverage.Regards,Domenic________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2000 17:27:01 -0800
