Jerry_in_SD Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 about a year ago I posted a question regarding what happens to a breadboard end when a film finish is applied and the core inevitably expands and shrinks with the weather. WelI got my answer. I've attached a picture of the core / breadboard joint out toward the ends of the breadboard where only screws are holding the breadboard and where the core has the maximum movement ( center 4" was glued so no issue). I 'm trying to figure out a fix. This was a thick finish of 5 coats of sprayed EnduroVAR. I'm thinking about sanding down about 2 coats and re-spraying a think coat of EnduroVAR. Any other suggestions? What could prevent this in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxdabroxx Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I'm inexperienced with this problem, but after you refinish, could you cut the joint with a marking knife to separate the finish on the two pieces of wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I was think that prefinishing would also be helpful. That doesn't help,you now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Knife cut the joint using a straightedge . Sand then mask the breadboards, finish let dry etc then mask the center and finish etc. they need to be separate and able to move . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
