Southpa Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Not a good fit between mating surfaces. You'd best break them apart and try to sand both surfaces as flat and flush as possible. Only glue when you are sure your joint is fine as a hairline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahelcaya Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Yes , in case it's dried, you will need to resaw along the glueline, I made mine with the small planner and a sanding block , one piece ontop of the other. After sanding for a wile they should fit perfecty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtsib Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 with what sand paper? 100 is ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Sure, 100 is ok to start with, just make sure you glue the paper to a flat, rigid sanding block to get a nice flat face. Then you can go to 220 or so before gluing and clamping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJohn Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Just remember to clean the join area well after sanding.How are you cutting it apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHowell Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Glue your sandpaper to a flat board and lay the board down flat and firmly clamped. Scribble some lines with a pencil on the surface you want to get flat then proceed to sand on your sanding board. Sand until all the lines disappear. Re scribble and make sure all the pencil marks dissapear simultaneously with a few strokes over your sanding board. Your surface is now flat and you can proceed on the other side of the joint.
