    2 years with Opti-coat - not very happy

    Are you implying it was "a tad" heavy for the venue? :laughing: However, I was speaking more to this statement and to these terms specifically... "These covalent bonds do not simply break down over time without help, energy is required to destroy them. They are, for lack of a better term...

    2 years with Opti-coat - not very happy

    Hey sir, Well something is either "Permanent" or "Forever" or it's not...there is no middle ground. Covalent Bonds are no doubt the strongest Chemical Bonds but they are not Immune to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (2LOT) "Pillar of Science"---that is to say "EVERYTHING" will break down. My...

    my first time using collinite 845

    Really, how did you go about doing it? It was less than a breeze for me to apply...took no longer than 10 minutes...took less than that wiping it off. How long did you wait to wipe it off? Finger Swipe? I find it more difficult to fold my t-shirts.

    my first time using collinite 845

    Griots 3" plate vs LC 3" plate?

    Sorry if this is slightly OT but.... I was just researching whether I could use the LC 3" Backing Plate (actually 2 7/8") on the GG 6" and combine with a 3" Pad so I wouldn't need to smoke another $100 on the smaller GG Polisher. If so, do I need an Adapter or am I good to go as is...

    LSP Suggestions Please

    No, those "pressing things" was CODE for Foolish Things....the screen name things came a little bit later. And you're very welcome. If you've been using #845 since the 70's, then....if it was my car you were working on I wouldn't give it a second thought. regards
