Re: how to remove silicone glue?

Razor blade works if you can get it behind the glue. I think some chemical dissolves it but can't remember what it is....acetone? mineral spirits? My husband is gone and not answering his phone! :roll:

Re: Need help with this schedule

Re: Ring Saw Help

I have a Taurus 3 and I like it. I can't compare it to the others as I've never used those, but I think the T3 works very well, it's easy to use, easy to change the blades now that know how...took a couple tries to get it, but it's a simple concept.
