I hope everyone enjoys good health and an improved business year in 2014.
David, I think your body is trying to tell you, “more daylight please”. If you can’t wait for the days to get longer, just go out and stare at that bell housing for a while. Bring your sunglasses.

I like all the how to pics and videos. If I had a video recorder I might post some videos also.
My problem with watching the vids is my slow internet (1.36 mbps).

Interesting. I have never had a foot come off. I might suggest applying some past wax to the feet to help them not stick.

Super neat, Andy. My fingers are bleeding just thinking of sanding all those sloped draining grooves.

Awsome look, Andy. I really, really like that you coved all the corners that could be coved. Especially in a commercial invironment where the cleaning crew usually doesn’t care much about getting into the nooks and crannies. Coves are easy to clean.
I am very curious about the interface with the common drain components. Please share.

Looks great Andy.
Is the edge done with a V-fold? Stacked, or other technique.
Tell us about the bowl please.

I have done it both ways.
I always attach the drain fitting to the pan before I install the pan. Many times there is no access to the underside of the pan to tighten the nut after the pan is in place.
I then have the plumber install the top side fittings (compression gasket and nut) after I am done with walls and such.

What Wayne suggests does work. I use cellophane tape when I do it and I finger off excess squeeze out just so that there isn’t so much adhesive for the tape to pull off. Sometimes if you leave a big glob of adhesive it will be too much for the the tape to lift off and you might need to chissel the glob off anyway.

Awww. Come on guys, now I am all blushed.
This is a technical repair but quite do-able. I have one similar coming up.
The white lines iindicate where I plan to cut and insert patches. I will pre fab a piece including the cove and make the countertop patch with the cove first. then I will patch the backsplash down to the cove. As mentioned, it can be rough cut and sanded to a perfect fit. I have used a putty knife with PSA paper on one face. I also use my multi tool with the scraping bit and PSA paper on one side.
In your case I would patch the backsplash up just high enough so that I can use a plug repair technique to finish the rest of the crack on the verticle surface. Don’t worry about the top of this first backsplash repair and use the plug repair to pick up the top of this patch.This was a different job but it shows the countertop with cove patch in place.
This was a verticle wall patch made using a male female template for a bevel plug. The size and shape is determined by the rapair needs. In your case it would be made so that it can encumpass the top of the first backsphalsh patch
I just used some thin scraps to provide pressure to hold the plug into the mating bevel cutout.
Making the plug repair template is rather simple and it is posted on here somewhere (I am not very good at the search function).
