First, I learned that you should not paint patterns black. I was making some patterns for a table base out of recycled MDF and planned on keeping this set. So I grabbed some black lacquer I had in a gun and gave them a basecoat/clearcoat with lacquer. Looked awesome! But....... you can't see your marks so well.
Second, I learned that Glide coat has a lacquer thinner in it. Sprayed the patterns with Glide Coat and just left it on there, started routing parts. I normally don't buff it off of patterns so I didn't notice it was gummy, till the router started sticking. Let it dry, cleaned up the router base, all is well.
Third, Anti static spray is an awesome thing to clean your glasses with! I wear those funny glasses with the magnet in the middle like in "Wild Hogs" and they are always covered in sawdust every time I put them on. I use Anti Static spray for the machines when I mill Versatex so I thought what the heck, I'll try it. Takes a bit of buffing but NO SAWDUST! I drug them through the dust just to see and nothing sticks to them. Very cool!
And, I still hate Makore......
What did you learn today?
