Re: Wave Attachment
Hi all, C.G.what is spackling compound?,is it similar to Polyfilla,it is an indoor plaster filling compound,that can be sanded very smooth,ideal for voids revealed under old wallpaper,and very interesting things under the old paper,such as old newspapers ,great story's and articles about the war and slimy politicians,so what's new,.. Bill I have sent off an E/Ml. about the logs,waiting for a reply,will let you know when I hear, I'm trying to make your design of the twist mechanism,hell that's a big word I'll have to rest my brain,MAC.
