    I'm also turning some 3" x 2" billet feet for them.

    DOG BITE! Some days are just aaarrrrrgggghhhh! I laid my speakers down to put on a last coat of finish. When I went to pick them up, they had stuck to the carpet. 14 hours and dry to the touch wasn't dry enough. Now I have to strip the sides to get the carpet out that is embedded and if that wasn't bad enough, a piece of veneer was pulled out. One more thing to repair. What's a guy to do? ~sigh~

    :shock:

    I hate that! Lacquer does take a very long time to really cure. I suppose the extreme mass of the speaker wasn't your friend either.

    Yes it sucks, but can be fixed with some time and patience. In reality, it will only set me back a couple days. Needless to say, I won't be laying these things down anymore.

    That's terrible. You must now sit in the chair of shame. If I may suggest- mask the edges of the area to be repaired. No sense sliding a carpet fiber onto a portion with the 'good' finish!
