@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.

This @here is an example of true Identarian craftsmanship guys; the sort of expertise that made our ancestors famous from the Renaissance of the 1500s to the Golden Age of the 1900s. Well done @RevStench. You’re an example to all of us.

That looks fantastic!

I only fixed the broken glass in the windows and made them functional again. We hung that crown molding. But that staircase is in incredible shape, quality craftsmanship. I figured you would appreciate it, the only work I did was replace the old worn out treads and that's it. The home was built in the late 1890s and a family with 14 kids lived there until the youngest died about 10 years ago.

@RevStench I'm a dumbass, dude, I never even thought to scrape the wood off of sandpaper

@John O - haha bro, we all are. I used to go through so much sand paper until I started working for this old guy.
