Orbital Polisher

When I called Wings and Wheels to order this winter's supply of Wx/
Seal and Wx/Block, Tim Mara casually suggested I consider purchasing a
Cyclo Orbital Polisher. Given that the wing area of my ASW 22 BLeE is
measured not in square feet but rather in acres, the biennial ordeal
of protecting the gelcoat is usually followed by extensive physical
therapy. After studying Tim's and Cyclo Toolmakers's websites, I was
back on the phone ordering one. Having used it for three weeks now, I
can definitively say it is a time and back saver. Thanks, Tim.
Incidentally, contrary to Tim's soft-sell advice, I ordered the
variable-speed model, which makes the initial distribution of the
relatively fluid WX products much less messy.

Thanks Dan,
With that strong endorsement I just ordered one from Tim. I was
dreading the biannual job of waxing the glider so this should take
away most concerns. Thanks for posting and thanks Tim for having them
available.

The easier way to polish your machine is to liberally apply the
first wxblock coat, then start the engine. The vibration will polish
the entire machine within seconds. Stop motor, wipe off residue,
then repeat with wxblock part 2.

Hope that helps,

That's cause Dan does not have the "electric smooth" Wankel like I do,
so I apply the 1st coat, put the covers on, and tie it down in blustery
Nor'wester for an afternoon; repeat process with the second coat.

Another solution: buy a smaller glider, Dan! I suggest the DuckHawk at
80 square feet versus the 22 at 166 square feet - be done in half the time!
