The story of my life, but I do have fun. I had never checked my GRS sharpener rig, but decided to the other day and found that the holder post was a loong way from being square with the disc. Never had crossed my mind to check it. Amazing how much better my cuts are when the angles are close to being correct. Also, last nite I had printed a pattern on some stencil film, you know the stuff with a peel off sticky back good for putting a pattern on glass or for wood carving. I have always noticed that I had to wait a long time for the ink to dry (HP 1210 machine). While waiting I got inspired and grabbed a practice plate that had long been coated with NGraver layout fluid, put the pattern face down and burnished----got a pretty darn good transfer, problem is that the backing is opaque so positioning might be a problem. Tried it again today with HP transpanency and found that printing on the wrong side of it using tacky NGraver fluid gives a barely fair transfer. Fun experimenting, but methinks I will get some of Tom White's solution.
