Yeah, hands were sweaty at the time i made the picture.
This thor should be 1 out of 2 in Estonia.
Bought the second one today. So all of the Thor II should be now in my hands.
I love it. Looks fabulous to me. It has about 50k puffs on the counter.
I hope that i can this getting fixed.
It looks like the resin cracked.. Still a mistery how this happend.....
Edit// wanted to add a picture made today. I assume that most of you will notice some marks from "using" it. So all help is welcome to puff this baby up.

Thats the finish Im after. Maybe I didn't spend enough time on mine. I'm going to get some poly to seal the finish on my next attempt. Its definitely a learning experience.
Ive had this mod for years now, it fires and handles any build I put on it. Thats why I took out the time to repair it, If not I would've just trashed it.

I spent ALOT of time on that mod then put 8-10 clear costs lightly sanding in between when dry. Prob 12-15 would’ve been better but I just was done at that time.
I gave the Pumper 18 a little bit of a shine

Thanks for the tip Mate
@Mikhuu I hope this info helps with the crack in your Thor 2.
Feel free to ask any more questions along the way but as mentioned have a look on the youtube for a good instructional video.
Is that shine from using the board oil and renaissance?I gave the Pumper 18 a little bit of a shine

That one wasn't. I gave the Pumper a few light coats of a good quality wood varnish with a light sand using a 1500 grit micro mesh pad in between coats.
After the varnish was finished I gave it a polish using Howard Feed-N-Wax.
I'm now in the middle of working on another mod using just the micro mesh pads with all of the different grades of mesh so I can compare the two finishes.
You can get a very nice finish using only the micro mesh pads,but imo it won't last long.I spent several hours working through all the pads on one of my mods,it turned out perfect,then a about a week later,it was dulled down again just from using it.I hadn't used any wax or anything after,so that may well of made it last longer,but just the micro mesh wasn't a great solution for me haha.I'm now in the middle of working on another mod using just the micro mesh pads with all of the different grades of mesh so I can compare the two finishes.
passing the time during lockdown, made a set of panels out of purple maple, giving me extra width to take steam crave Ragner being 35mm, The things we do lol
