yesterday , online i attempted to buy an item from grs. just before i "clicked" on the deal, i noticed "etsy" up in the corner. i lost it ! called grs and got the item 30 bucks cheaper !! it pays to look
i want to reduce the bit of resinstance on the rotation, as well as the heel adjustment. is it ok to remove the "o" rings ? or is there some lube that can reduce the friction ? i want to radius heels on flats and rounds.
i've tried many breeds of china white. i despised them all. i tried this one-- perfect ! if applied fairly thin, does not flake or wipe off. if applied too thick it will flake a bit. a little bit on a finger-- dab on thin, good for pencil drawing with subsequent scribing over.
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.
this video is as long as it is great instruction. i've only watched about the first 30 minutes. i will finish it later. imho it shows a very common sense approach to engraving whatever the style of choice. i'd advise any newb to take the time to absorb what is shown. enjoy & learn
