G'day all,
I made some telescopes about 15 years ago and I think I used resin from an equestrian supply store for the pitch.
I have just read somewhere that some have used beeswax as a lap also.
This may be wrong but I will be making another telescope soon ( 12 incher ) and I was wondering where you get your pitch/beeswax from in Oz and what have you had success with.
I am also interested in getting in touch with anyone in the Gladstone, Qld area who may have made their own telescope.
Apologies if this has been asked but I did a search and couldn't find any mention of resin as a pitch lap.
