Good idea. That would have saved me having to touch up my paint. If you are cleaning up Permatex, I assume you got your mill head together. All went well?

Henry,

No, the mill head needs to be painted first. Then I'll tackle the reassembly. I used the Permatex on my lathe and used the alcohol to clean up the squeeze-out with good results.
Despite my attempts as reserving the weekend for working on the mill, it just didn't happen so I'm behind, as usual.
