Based on my experience with Plasti Dip, I wouldn't bother. (although I have no experience with the spray-on type) It's soft and wears/cuts easily. Doesn't adhere well to large flat polished surfaces.

I never really liked the liquid stuff too much either. I've used the spray on some projects, most recently on wood though. However, my wife used it on the bottom of a stainless steel dog dish to help keep it from sliding around on the concrete. Surprisingly, it adhered pretty well and it still lasts to this day. IMHO, the spray seems to harden better than the liquid ever did, and it seems to be pretty durable. Granted, the dish is not a vibe.

If the other adjustments don't work I will head to Home Depot and try your suggestion. I was hoping the steel was not the problem but these bruises are only found exactly perpendicular to the edge and has me suspicious. Most bruising is spread out over the edge and these are different. I never ran a vibe short on level either and have heard war stories about that too. Going to load er up again with the adjustments and will know soon enough. Thanks for the tip, I had no idea where a coating could be had. even if it only lasts a couple of runs it would answer the question. James, www.homedepot.com/p/Plasti-Dip-11-oz-Black-Plasti-Dip-11203-6/100131010Just so you know what it looks like. Should be in the paint dept. View AttachmentThanks Dave. Being there 1000's of aerosol cans that will be a big help. By the way that Ryobi saw has seen a lot of use. Other tile saws keep needing refilling and this one holds water much longer than most due to design. I bought a really nice fine diamond glass blade off Ebay for $15-20 ?? and really like it for no chip cutting. It needs a lot of dressings with an bench grinding wheel though.

Wouldn't hurt to chunk some gravel with SiC 60 and give it a good sanding. I did put a size small rubbery shower cap in one of the hoppers and it fit darn well. That might do the trick for a test anyway.

Did you ever get a drain setup for yours? I seem to recall you saying something, but I don't remember for sure. I might have to tinker this weekend and work on something. It would have been a good time to do some cutting, but my saw table is being used in our makeshift kitchen for now. So, maybe some maintenance/improving of the saw may be in order.

It has been moved out in the weather and remains there. No drain mods required on the ground. I think you said you use yours out on the lawn. I saw so much glass it makes a stream of mud. The blade runs true. important for glass because a bumpy out of round or wobbly blade breaks glass. I use 3 different blades and change them a lot never having wobble after the change. You must be renovating the kitchen.

You must be renovating the kitchen. Yep, I'm on the lawn. Maybe I'll just pull the drain plug, take it with me to HD, and see what I might be able to fashion together. Maybe some type of nipple inserted into the bottom of the plug itself which would allow attachment of a short section of hose with a hose clamp. No sense in overthinking it. And yes, the kitchen is currently being redone. Week 2 has just finished. All demo has been done, plumbing, electrical, ventwork, drywall and paint. Cabinets start to go in on Tuesday.

Pull plug and take it to Home Depot and find a hose just bigger than the drain plug. It has to be snug enough to fit in hole and stay put so it will set the level of the water for the bottom of the blade. You know that though. I hear the ching ching of the cash register as the new kitchen happens.
