  1. Post heating Technique

    Answered my own question, they call it a flame spreader. Seems that this would be very good for post heat.
  2. Post heating Technique

    I am usually using a map welding torch but I am buying a bernzomatic instant with the 5 foot hose. Do they make a diffuser tip the spreads the flame out for this purpose?

    Wow, did I just say that? 2 Parts gin 1 part orange curacao 1 part grand marnier squeezed lime ice diet tonic consume repeat
  4. Skunk!

    Same thing happened to me with a couple of girls at prom.
  5. Skunk!

    22 long in the head. Perfect shot or they will spray, perfect shot and they just drop on the spot. Had to do a bunch of em way back when. Sucks because they are so cute. I usually try and leave them alone unless they seriously take up residence and can't be persuaded otherwise.
  6. Rapid Remover/Cut-Thru/Goo Gone supplier... by the DRUM!

    Pick the one that you like, grab an msds sheet on it and you might just get enough info to make a giant batch of your own.
  7. Latex paint: What is the secret to an even coat?

    Everyone thinks that a short nap is the way to go with smooth surfaces. On a flat sheet especially, if you have enough material, at the right viscosity especially with a little flo in it, it will lay out. Short nap rollers carry very little material run dry almost instantly and splatter...
  8. double cutline

    Also if you choose the flatten transparency make sure that the "outline stroke" is not checked. When you get two lines you can definately zoom in close on the cut file and see that your stroke has been outlined. To fix that particular file just pick the inside or outside line with the white...
  9. Roland vs Mimaki

    I have an xc-540 and my friend runs a slightly bigger mimaki. I am very impressed with the build quality on his unit although I have no complaints about my own. I like the reduced footprint of the print cut but I have some very fast profiles and printing never seems to get in my way. In a...
  10. Latex paint: What is the secret to an even coat?

    That really does work well, Thanks!
  11. T-shirts+XC 540?

    I am having good luck with HTM2, the original and possibly still available HTM sucks!
  12. Latex paint: What is the secret to an even coat?

    Also, if it wasn't clear, this whole process will only take 2-3 minutes. The paint should never start to dry. You will need to lay it off while wet or it will be line city. You should also probably prime the edges just as you start so that you work of the heavy edge while painting the sheet...
  13. Latex paint: What is the secret to an even coat?

    Floetrol will help it lay out like pat said. Also, if you are getting differences in sheen it is from an uneven coat or uneven absorption from not being primed.
  14. Latex paint: What is the secret to an even coat?

    I use a 6" weenie roller (no pun intended). with a larger nap, maybe 1/2. Coat the paint on quite heavy. I start with an almost dripping roller cover (using a grid in a 2 gal bucket, not a tray), lay a sloppy feeder line out that extends 24" or so to the right of the left edge of the panel and...
  15. Anyone able to do some dry erase boards?

    I am too far away but seriously, anyone you use locally that can print and then just overlay with dry erase laminate.
  16. What are 3 year old Roland 540's going for?

    I would also think a nice one would bring 17 or so.
  17. Anyone able to do some dry erase boards?

    Yep, just did a bunch.
  18. Wood sign

    I use an airbrush and spray lightly and then it doesn't bleed.
  19. Tattoo Shop Sign

    That really looks nice, so makes me want a router.
  20. Hand made in India

    There is some stunning hand work of all kinds being done in India. The Enfields as well as the Ambassadors are awesome. All of the tooling is just as the English left them. I was in Turkey and saw two guys roll up on Enfield diesel motorcycles, they had bought them new in India and were riding...
