Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

Since I want to make a fairly sharp bend, I apply a little glue, then bend the pieces around the corner, using a bunch of clamps to hold things in place, and let it harden until the next day.

This setup here has 3 layers on it, and I'll have to decide whether I want more layers than that or not.

Next is to add a little bit of glue and put a third piece on top of the first 2, with the top piece partly on each piece underneath. That would be the piece with the pencil on top.

After bending those small pieces of wood, gradually making the radius smaller a day at a time, it's time to start using them for something useful.

First step it to put 2 of them side by side like this.

About those glue brushes. because I am so cheap I have found out that with paint, if I take my brushes and rollers and either put them in plastic sealed bags or wrap them snuggly in plastic wrap they will stay moist and usable. That is if you dont leave them like that for weeks. Another thing. Can you cut off the brush ends and make wind chimes? Just an enquiring mind.

Hey, I hadn't thought of using them as wind chimes! Lol. That should work.

Most paint brushes will work like that, unless Por 15 is used, as it is moisture cured, so wrapping them up doesn't work. I tried that.

As a result, I try to do as much painting at one time as I can with Por 15 since I know they will harden when I am done. Hence, using the cheaper (usually not foam brushes), from Harbor Freight.

I can usually pick them for less than a $1 each, for about a 2" brush.

On occasion, I have used the foam brushes for Por 15, but they don't last long, so it will have to be a rather short painting session.

How about a nice collection of used acid brushes that I am using to apply glue?

Fortunately, they are cheap at Harbor Freight.







Tomorrow I think I can show you some of the wood bending that is going on.

Thanks for the laugh. I certainly don't have any lock on leakproof tanks or anything else for that matter.

My main reason for wanting it inside is primarily so the tank doesn't freeze in cold weather. Hopefully, we won't be in those kinds of temps, but then again, who knows?

I've thought of that, but then again, it won't freeze nearly as quick inside, especially without using any heat to keep it from freezing.
