I built a wood stand like the drawings on the Tormach site. I went a little overboard and used fiberglass epoxy to seal the entire top of the stand and the coolant drains (I have three). I then painted it with a POR-15 type of paint to cover the epoxy.
If I had the metal stand, based upon all the reports, I'd use the marine grade 3M 4200 to seal all the joints and the bolt holes, and then the POR-15 to cover the entire top. The POR stuff is easy to use and tough as nails. |
