Harlequin Pen

I like the Fast Orange cleaner (Walmart, Amazon, etc). It can be rubbed or for very heavy char an old toothbrush can be used to apply it (as in 3D engraves).
I use the wipes for edges, when I do not want the dark char at the cuts and also for small char marks that you don’t want to smear all over.

Well, now I’ve read that too. I bought a stupid little gizmo that attaches rattle cans to a reciprocal saw to shake them up. I’ll bet I could put some salt and parts into a condiment squeeze bottle and shake the tar out of them (literally!) with that thing.

Oooh, sweet! I’ll try that.

Which means I’ll probably have new things to show off soon after trying the different suggestions. I can use the Fast Orange trick for a pen blank for sure, but I suspect the voices in my head will make me use the salt trick to make a laminated salt shaker blank.

Bummer. Apparently I need to buy a new truck before I can buy the wipes.

It would be an interesting exercise to add cars to my profile until I found a model that these are certified to “fit”. :roll_eyes:
