I finally got around to turning my first bottle stoppers from the group buy. I used some scrap Corian, glued 2 blanks up with 2 part epoxy.
The first one turned just fine. Rough sanded and then finished with micro mesh.
While I was turning the second one I had a ketch and it blew apart at one of the seems. To say I was upset would be putting it mildly.
I picked up the loose piece and looked at it and other than a little epoxy it was perfect.
Darn,the epoxy was in the house!
I turned around and there on my bench was a bottle of medium CA glue. I thought it will never hold, but I what the heck! I knocked the epoxy off the 2 pieces and slapped some CA glue on it and held it in place. After prying my stuck fingers off the Corian I finished turning it with no problems! I guess I can just use CA for glue ups from now on.
The second one is not as good of a finish as the first one but no one will notice but me.
