|
|
Hey guys...been awhile
well i ran out of my normal release agent today( silicone)
all i have in the shop is
Blaster-dry lube PTFE:roll:
will this take the heat?
will it discolor the black ABS?
tooling is bare wood fine sanded and polished.
thanks for the help |

TIRE WET....
Low buck at most auto stores. reasonably thick and never leaves markoff on clear parts. PETG and Lexan safe. |

Thanks guys...
received many emails.
the PTFE worked fine
just wiped off the excess and no color transfer.
i was worried about the white powder residue but not a problem.
i prefer Blaster dry silicone as it does not raise hair on the wood.
Hey Scott, been a long time! Beer is still cold..
I have my business up for sale for 150 K no blue sky!
motivated to sell due to poor health
Many interested people but with limited funds.
may be trading for unimproved property in the country + $$$$$
My sincere thanks to you Scott
and the rest of the guys here on the website.
With what i learned here from you guys and the forum
I went from near section 8 to having a 6 figure income. $$$$$$.00
Advice from an old man( deaf, near blind,with Autism)
I read posts from many of you young and older guys and it is very easy to
see that you have what it takes. Take that part time play thing to the next level. Why settle for something that pays for your beer. Pay off your house or buy one!!
Doug,
you have great products and a professional website.
take it to the next level.
Contract sales to JC Whitney, Auto Zone, Pep Boys, etc...
once you do get a contract...sub it out and have the parts drop shipped
to the wholesale shipping hub. all you see is the money!
Guys think SPORTING GOODS largest demographic!
Last year i helped a young man with tooling and first run parts for
a new product and he was unable to follow through with
because of a motor cycle wreck.
Frank was going to do snake gaiters.
then ATV / motocross body parts.
Sorry for the long post.
once we get old and start having declining health
seems we want to help the next Gen...
Best wishes to all.

Nice post Dale. Sorry to hear you are having health issues, but as for getting old...we all suffer from that. You know what they say, youth is wasted on the young!
I wish you all the best.
