    Sanding and Abrasive Technology


    Eduardo Nunez has been with 3M for 10 years.  His expertise includes many types of industrial abrasives and techniques.  He works with customers, in "process development,"  to determine their specific needs and develop a strategy for which 3M materials and applications would work best for them.

    Rather than just a PowerPoint/lecture presentation, we will be able to try various abrasives on our own materials. 

    He plans to bring a variety of different abrasives, including sandpaper, abrasive pads, cloth-backed abrasives, and rotary brush-type polishers.  Since woodturners frequently use spray-on finishes, he will also bring a sprayer that he thinks will be of interest.  He has suggested a "hands-on" type of interactive demo, where he can allow club members to try various 3M products in a realistic woodturning situation.  

    Members are encouraged to bring projects of all types, including wood, acrylic, wood and resin combination, etc, in any stage where finishing is needed.   Feel free to bring something just turned, still with tool marks, or one between coats of finish, or maybe one that you want to improve or change the finish.

    This should be a fun evening and we look forward to the program !

    Emma Cook, The Tiny Turner       

    During this Interactive Remote Demonstration, Emma Cook (The Tiny Turner) will work through how to turn a platter suitable for resin casting: including all the considerations you need to make for this type of decoration.

    Once the turning preparation is completed, Emma will look at the various items you can cast in resin, again explaining considerations to make when choosing what you want to encase in your own project. She will briefly talk through different resin options available to you, before mixing and pouring an epoxy resin onto the platter turned and decorating during the evening's demonstration.

    Finally, a pre-prepared blank will be turned to completion so Emma can talk through the various options of finishing projects which have resin inclusions.

    This demo is always fun and gives the opportunity for you to ask as many questions as you want, as well as often helping steer the project through audience interaction where possible !.
