Question about Proofgrade box contents

Ew!

Hey, the USDA has levels of rat poop and rat hair that they deem allowable in peanut butter so anything is probable.

And don’t forget insect parts.

Same thing I got in mine. Same label spots too. I think they are being stored or transported somewhere hot. It feels like a melted gluey-ness.

To be fair, I live in the desert, it’s really hot. I took the temp of the box when it arrived and it was 105 degrees inside after sitting in a UPS truck all day.

mostly maple as well. (It’s a good one to learn on.)

Maple ply is like the Baltic Birch of PG. It’s a great go-to material. It’s a neutral finish so it goes well with a lot of things and it won’t get in the way of some designs. Sometimes the walnut is too dark for the patterns I’m doing (but when it’s right, it’s outstanding). I also like the cherry.

Okay, I like them all But, maple is my the one I reach for first.

I actually like the look of the maple best, because of the great contrast for engraves.

@dan Do you want to be alerted to other things like, I have a piece of material with small tear in the masking paper. Not a deal to me at all, but for your own QA do you want the teeny details?

This was on the Medium Clear Acrylic.

Also all pieces I received had had the old labels removed and new labels applied.

Please do report to support!

Yeah I had a little bit of that residue on a few of my proofgrade pieces, and I posted in another thread that I had some bubbles in the proofgrade masking. Didn’t think to report it to support, so I’ll probably send them an email just so they’re aware… assuming that wont be a huge deal to engrave, but I do wonder if the bubbles will cause some strange engrave reaction.
