    0.3 objective for Nikon SMZ

    not sure but that would probably work. compounding my problem was leonardo's ring light. the .3 and leonardo's ring light were kind of married onto the leica without a preacher to officiate. all i can say is it all works fine. the ringlight, the .3 lens, and the scope. for my vision problem, the...

    i simply wipe the brush 1 or 2 times in the bottle mouth. that gives me a good result. i see no reason ( at least for me ) to thin with any solvent.

    mention was made about dychem white. i bought a bottle. works great with pencil and does not flake when cutting. takes inkjet very nicely. in use, rid the brush of the excess liquid and apply.. a thin coat dries in a few minutes. i got the stuff from mcmaster carr. try it, you'll like it.

    take an accounting of all the time spent, the materials used, and all other related expenses. then, figure what your work is worth based on the quality you deliver. this really is not an answer to yer question. only you can determine what to charge for a given job.

    Engraving Pen

    i've had a lot of experience using rotary tools. from the cheapest, to the most expensive. that little battery powered unit may work, but you better pack a lunch. these units take a long time for all but the most light and superficial work. one must also consider the bearings.. how much wobble...
