Like me, always in the poo...
Its just the depth that varies?

I guess I could do it that way but my Samsung Galaxy Y Phone needs a Driver Software to be installed on my Desktop PC for that to work, the trouble is that Samsung don't have a Driver for it that's compatible with Windows 10.


So basically I'm stymied with that.

I email photos from my iphone to myself and then upload them to the PBG forum.

Do you have Bendigo Bank in Darwinia yet Doc?
If so, I would go and talk to them. Nothing is ever a problem and they will never put a freeze on your account that you wont be able to make go away through one simple phone call..
And you wont be talking to some one in Mumbai or Singapore, all their help desk folk are here in Oz.
We do all our banking with Bendigo, they are the Biz!
With my debit/eftpos/hole in the wall card they told me to hit credit when using it for eftpos so I wont have to pay a fee.
How many banks would tell you that??!

Hi DB, not such good advice from your bank as I work in a retail environment where the EFTPOS machine is hardwired to add-on 1.50% merchant fee for Visa & MasterCard once credit has been selected. The only way to avoid merchant fees is to select Cheque or Savings as that bypasses the credit card interchange.

Cheers, Waz.

Hi Doc, 41 pages deep......must be doing this as a thesis for a Phd at Darwin University I suspect???

At this rate you will out do ShazRandom for page numbers but maybe not for the amount of views.

How good does CG look in the flesh. Time to be a bit patient from here otherwise you could risk stuffing things up as most of my issues came to the surface after about 3rd intensifier coat.

I have ironed out the issues with MKII..... I think
Well, lets say I pushed it pretty well to the limit on my test bed and so far so good.
After the third coat of intensifyer I scuff sanded with 320 to level out any gribblies and to remove the odd cat and Dingo hair, then applied two fairly heavy coats of final which I let cure for a week before scuff sanding that back with 800.
Then I applied one very thin final coat which is as smooth as a babies bum..
When I checked it today I noticed a few spots I missed so I will give the body a light scuff with steel wool and apply another thin coat.
(Will post some pics tomoz before I apply it)

Hey guys, just got back from my mates place, I think the final coat on the neck has dried sufficiently but I might need to touch-up a few areas on the headstock that I think I missed, the body feels like it is almost dry but I reckon I'll give it some more time before I even think of applying another coat of intensifier.
