Oh NO! Not a Clifton!!! Oh, man...that makes me sick to hear. I'm so sorry to hear that!

: I dropped my $200 Clifton Combination plane tonight... snapped it right in
: half. Talk about surprised. I'm not really sorry I dropped it because
: tools are meant to be used; I'm sorry I don't have the extra dough to
: replace it!

Well, the stuff is blushless, which I believe as much as I believe that the goverment is here to help us (you had to have been in the goverment as a regulator to know that joke). I scrub with hot water and a fresh green scrub pad, then rinsed with lots of water, twice. The epoxy sticks fine, it's athe glas that doesn't stick, even with epoxy over it. It almost acts like a starved lay-up. This truly is crazy how it's acting...like the glass is not bonding at all.

: Anyway, I couldn't tell you what happened to your layups. West says that
: adhesion problems can happen if you sand beyond 400 grit but you said that
: you roughed the surface. You washed any blush away right? Did you try
: anything different from your other boats this time?
