Popular Post amazingkevin Posted March 2, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 A Haitian stockman and I were talking and he said he used a fret saw on coconuts in Haiti.i showed him what I do on the scroll saw so this is that. I snapped one piece turning to fast and broke a to thin of a letter removing the letters from the coconut.i put everything back in to keep things straight and dusted backing soda on the breaks and manipulated super glue on top of the backing soda crack. The backing soda speed up the crying and makes a mend strong as steel in minutes.Baker is the name. I,m pretty sure I used a fd scroll reverse#7 blade. It cut just fine but go at it slow and in speed.this is my first coconut. Got to practise!!!

This baking soda trick is almost as good as C.A. glued and spray accelerator. on a scale of 1-10, I give it a 8 compared to C.A. glue at a fraction of the cost!!!!
