Meeting

Paul, Lawrence, Miles, Rick, J Hiltz, Robert

Lawrence collected some annual dues, which is $100.00
Miles brought some interesting books he recently purchased.


Discussion on the fall show, the flier, and a sign.
Leo has come up with a design for the sign which includes two large unfinished pieces..a bowl and a vase that will be mounted on top of the sign so that traffic going either way will spot it..
We need two sheets of plywood and some white sign board to make the letters.

Topic: Painting over an old piece that has voids and scales:

1 Scrape of the surface and then dust off the debris.Use a carbide scraper blade..Lee Valleey. Can be resharpened using diamond plates on Leo’s turntable grinder.: 3000-8000-10,000

2 Apply a coat of Acrylic Concrete bond..the white stuff.
3 Then apply a mixture (50:50) of the (water) paint you want plus the concrete bond. Trowel this layer smooth.
4 Sprinkle on filler: whiting or lime or portland cement and trowel this in to fill voids and valleys.
5 Spread on another coat of the 50:50 mixture and trowel this in to build up the defects.
6 Let dry
7 Sand lightly
8 Coat with acrylic paint of your choice
9 Once dry another coat of the concrete bond

Use methyl Hydrate to clean off the trowels, tools and your hands.

Next Leo took a big end of a telephone pole-Douglas Fir, for the vase part of the display.
This was chain sawn to a square end.
Then the centers were found on each end.
It will be mounted on the lathe for next sessionand turned to a shape.
