Sorry I haven't been here in a while. With all this talk of epoxy and tape during cold weather, I thought I would try good ol dop wax even though it's been in the 30's at night. The garage at night when I cab was not much warmer. In order to keep the cabs from becoming cab-a-pults, I used hot water for the wheels and kept the dopped cabs warm on an electric skillet. Well, it worked great. I was all bundled up and my feet and hands were near numb but the cabs held on tight! I ended up only finishing 5 out of the 16 because I was getting scratches no matter what I did. Either I'm out of practice or my 600 grit wheel is wearing out. Here's the ones that came out. Thanks for looking. Steve AZ agates from the pile/Jamie 4th of July agate Poppy jaspers

Good to see you back Steve. Great looking cabs. I haven't been able to cab lately. Teens at night and 30's during the day.

Those are gorgeous. 5 in one night in the cold. Your determination is the only thing that outshines those cabs. That last one is incredable.
