The forum upgrade is complete. It was very uneventful. Please post issues in this thread.

Due to a high level of "bad actor" traffic on the community site Jaysen is implementing a forced verification to confirm that you are a human. This is a PITA and he hates it too. The 3.2 seconds it takes for the one time you have to do it every couple hours is much preferable to the hours we are losing to morons clogging the CPU on the servers. Jaysen is still looking to solve this a bit less intrusively and without cost to BBC. Hopefully the magic solution will appear out of thin air soon. Jaysen is already annoyed.

ok, i started on the next set. I spent 6 or 7 hours sanding and got the first coat of epoxy on today. You can see in the last picture that it went on a little heavier in places than I would have liked. It soaked in completely some and bubbled in other and was just lumpy elsewhere. I will give it a good sanding tomorrow and get the second coat on then several coats of EMC clear after that.

Now the front door. I am quite pleased with the results. I hope this EMC lasts a long time. I really want to forget I had to do this.
