Well, Odie's didn't hold up on the water dish holder.   

Scraped, sanded, and then applied paste wax.  Top was then too thin so had an issue with screw popping thru...sigh - thought I had adjusted but guess not enough.  Just temporary until other tops cure so will live with it.  I realize the slobber means a limited lifespan. 

Here's the cyprus with GF (few more weeks to allow finish to cure).
