    cracks after 2 months

    I am putting it right so no need to sound so righteous!! not like i started rendering onto cardboard or something, it seems that many people would have done the same as me, using hp12 and many wouldn't put it right either. I understand i was wrong, i put my hand up, and was looking for advice...

    what i mean is, im thinking trying to hack off the k1, then use hpx to build out to the beads, meaning it will be about 4-5mm hp12 then 7-8mm hpx then tc15 but wondering if that will also be too heavy

    cracks after 2 months

    surely if K1 is too heavy, going over the top will be more weight no? i was wondering about trying to hack off the top coat, then go over with hpx fully meshed, then tc15. my concern was how well the HP12 has stuck to the board and again was wondering how much weight is too much weight as it...

    My m200 journey

    We were plugged directly into a site box (big transformer) which was coming from the consumer unit via armoured cable. Which i thought was pretty direct. I still think the machine should just come with a geni (not saying for free, but as a package)
