Sweet old iron plane
Nice
How hard is it to use this stuff? Do you just attach to regular ply wood or some of that special board?
I'm honestly not sure. I've never worked with it. But in that pic is the same stuff. Looks just like brick and you don't notice it isn't stone unless you're really looking at, I had to touch it to just make sure😂
@Deleted User do you have any experience with this stuff?
@JesseJames ok, so my boss said it installs just like vinyl siding. If you're doing it on the exterior of the house put on one or two layers of that water proof backing, it staples on. Then roofing nails to hang it.
He said it comes with j channels as well, so it sounds pretty simple.
Oh really? That's great news I thought it installed with some sort of adhesive.
It should go pretty fast once you get the hang of it. Don't forget to run level lines so everything can be as square as possible.
If that’s just a plastic substrate then yes should be able to fasten it or it locks in place. I wasn’t sure what it was. There are masonry fascades as well that are super thin veneers. I thought it may be that
@RevStench what kind of saw do you need?
For what? Cutting that stuff Jesse posted? I'd use a circular saw just like vinyl siding. And probably a miter saw for the j channel.
Got ya.
No wet saw needed was my real question
Word, if it was real stone then for sure.
Wet saw required
Thanks guys
So I started to use this sand paper, it's good stuff, you don't have to clean it as often and it works a lot longer. Remeber if you're sand paper isn't sanding well clean if off with a wire brush and more out of it.
Wire brush I use
80 grit is all you need for wood if you're painting or staining.
I’ve been meaning to get an 80 grit brush
Hahah nice
Thanks bro
😉
Seriously though I use 80 grit to clean my spark plugs too
I’ve been using the same little square for about 7 years I think lol
Hahah that's awesome. People tend to throw it away to soon.
I sand paint and epox a lot and you get that build up, you can see it in that picture of the used paper, I knock it off with a wire brush and it works almost as well as a new piece.
I use those little sanding pads, the foam ones, I get a good 6 months or so out of one by keeping it clean.
I finally finished those church windows. After I glazed it. Before paint.
Installed, all 3 sashes
Mines the middle one
From that pic it looks like someone just cleaned it haha
Oh and while I'm at it, if you see paint like this, don't eat it... it's 100% lead based
And this is beautiful.
