Whatever kind of pen you use, if you allow it to dry awhile (probably a days is best, but at any rate give it some time), it won't come off as readily. I haven't found anything really perfect -- the combination of vibration and water is very effective at lifting marks or rubber cement. The most sure...

When I was a kid a had a book about cheap science experiments. They used lightbulbs for flasks. I can't remember for sure after all these years what they did (hmmm...wonder if I tied my shoes this morning...), but it was something along the line of what Tony mentioned. They may have scored the line,...

I've had small pieces jump across the shelf an inch or so a couple times. I think it happened when the pieces were small and I had too much glue under them. When the glue heated, it suddenly bubbled or gassed and threw the piece. That's my theory, anyway. Poltergeists are another theory that had pos...

Mark-How long does the gel take to set up, say before you can move the work off a bench and into the kiln? Have you used it on clears, and in the center or pieces where burnout residue is most likely? How about cleanup? Same as regular Elmers? Thanks I think it sets up enough to move things gently ...

How frequently did you lift the bit? You said periodically. You need to lift it a bit every few seconds, maybe 2 to 5, to let water in under the bit. You develop a rhythm of up and down. Some of the cheap Chinese bits I've used lasted 30 to 60 holes. Lately the ones I have don't seem to be drilling ...

I don't think that people really want to know how things are done, the same way they don't want to know that they are paying for all that slag that you had to make, before you could make that really spiff piece. That's not to say you shouldn't tell them, just that they might not want to know. Greg ...
