Dusty I may start my own list. Seems like a good idea. It is a good idea. Especially for those small repair parts that you don't want to pay full shipping to receive and think I will wait until I order something larger. Only, when you place that next order you forget to order the stupid things. Not...

2H is harder than HB, but leaves a lighter line, so you may need to press harder making it more likely to break: a catch-22. I use B which is softer than HB, so I don't need to press as hard to get a good strong line. But it is softer, so it is more likely to break. Bottom line, is that it is not n...

Great, 6 oz. glass cloth set in System Three Silvertip Laminating Resin it is. I will file this away for the future.

Paul, When I did my upgrade I decided to save the old stickers and used an artists pallet knife to carefully remove them. This was pretty simple and only took a few minutes. To remove the adhesive I rubbed on some Goo Gone until it was a gooey mess, the Goo Gone doesn't dissolve the glue but it does...
