I feel nostalgia for Sunderland Tilly,but having a base on the outskirts of London and Ottawa I think I have the best of both worlds,but probably going to end up a snow bird. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A thanks bud, i'm no pro though....lol yes, that's why your epoxy is running, if you don't have a drying machine you would have to sit there for half an hour to keep turning it then every 10 mins after that until it's set enough to be left....with the rod in the drying machine you can do a light coat to let the tread soak the epoxy then after 10-15 mins or when tacky (not dry) add the top coat to give it that high build, or there are some who put there high build on in one hit, after that keep an eye on it because it can still sink into your thread, if that does happen you can take a lighter and with just a quick flick under the epoxy (which will darken your thread colour, you can use a colour preserver) you can loosen it again to runny then move it round over the thread to level it out again, then let your dryer do the rest, it self levels it's self out after that bud.....here's my homemade one nothing fancy but it works just as good... 6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes mate,seen some absolute bargains in Canada,though the prices around Toronto,Ottawa and Vancouver are high by comparison,we were lucky to buy off-plan when it was still a field,plus the O-train coming out to us has bumped the value right up,Ottawa is a really green city compared to London,I was in Tooting today and it’s crowded as f**k,something you could never say about Ottawa,but there again population density for Canada is 4.4 people per Km Sq with UK at 278 people per Km Sq,we are a bit squeezed in the UK. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
