[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2970609, member: 100742"] Very nice peice of wood buddy . Sand and fill , and sand and fill. May need to fill the pours three or 4 times, then sand or buff with 2000 to 3000 grits, wet. I made myself a dryer out of a cardboard box. You might like this. You will need. #1 New Large Clean Cardboard box (Home Depot ) #2. 24inch square A/C filter # 3 Duct tape. # 24 inch square piece of cardboard for the opposite end.
