Awesome cabs Bob. Any tips on how to maintain the perfect round shape?
Yours are so perfect, I hope to cut round cabs like these in the future.

I finished the stone first on the 14000 wheel. Then the treatment in opticon. After the treatment, I scraped off the cured opticon with a razor blade, I never took it back to the wheels.

Awesome cabs. That montana is so amazing. The palm is very nice and the plume is great.

It would be unethical and just plain wrong. Put yourself in the buyers shoes. How would you feel if you bought it and found out later it was stabilized? You'd be furious and looking for that dealer. I agree 100% Phil. Plus I hate working with epoxy resin. This cab is not going to be sold, I will hang onto it to see what happens over time. Thanks Joe, I will look into water glass. The best thing to do is not cab fractured materials. Geoff

Hi everyone! ;D I have pictures of a cab that needed some fracture repair. It came out great. Is it ethical to sell this cab without disclosing the opticon treatment? I have read that the resin eventually turns color making the fractures just as evident if not more. I will keep this cab as a test to see how long it takes for that to happen. Before After I know, the exposure is different on the two pics. I'm trying to refine my photos. Thanks, Geoff
