Mmmm, I have some of that since I also dabble in furniture, but I only use it for repairs where the OEM glue was also hide. Heat is supposed to soften it but I've not had exactly great success with a hair dryer on older furniture repairs and have generally resorted to turning a clamp bar into a spreader to get a stubborn but loose joint apart. However since the pcb is thin, it could be exactly the prescription needed. I'll waste a piece of pcb and try it, using dry heat as I'd have to make a new jig if I got it wet. My thoughts on the wax settled on giving the seating area a coat of Door- Eze which I believe to be mainly bees wax, but I am wondering and would just about bet it would need a hold down or 2 because the drill bit, coming back out of the hole if its an 1/8" hole, can be just tight enough to lift it free, or was a day ago. More revs would help of course but that spindles max is 2500 revs. Cold & raining so it's not that pleasant after an hour or so if you are a diabetic with the usual cold feet, so progress is slow. Has anyone actually gotten that board profiling software from that site that posted a story about it about 3 weeks back & which Viesters reminded me of earlier today? I've looked at the Makefile & its no resemblance to any Makefile I ever saw. When I try to run the make, I get this: gene@shop:~/pcb-gcode$ make ssh phk "mkdir -p www/CncPcb && chmod 644 www/CncPcb/* || true" ssh: connect to host phk port 22: Connection timed out make: *** [all] Error 255 What is that "phk"? It is obviously not my hostname. The build directory is in /home/gene. Thanks Kirk. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
