Agree with Mark - need to keep things clean - evict the bikes……

When I first saw ‘oily rag’ I started thinking Cockney Rhyming Slang - oily - oily rag - fag - cigarette…… 🤩……..

Looks like I’m in trouble, my bike mechanic workshop and my guitar workshop are the same place.

Just to clarify for the newbies (and bike mechanics😬) - Your common or garden oily rags and guitar workshops don't mix. 😲 We don't have normal oily rags as they are dirty.🤮 or ...

There's no fish oil in it, that's an urban myth that's actually mentioned on their website "Myths and Fun Facts" page. The exact formula is a secret, but between the information they have to provide o...

@tej Im not very sure which fish oil but I heard an old radio programme a while ago where the company that was commissioned by the US Govt to find a rust protection/treatment talked about trying diffe...

PLEASE DO NOT USE WD40 FOR ANYTHING. Thanks for that @boo. That explains the flaking paint on a refurb I did a few years ago. My partner’s dad was a watchmender. She knew that cleaning a watch might...

@tej Not yet I’m planning to try it this afternoon if the monsoon rain stays away.

@rocknroller912 nice work, have you tested it?

Didn’t like the centre pin and bush that came with the Dremel circle attachment so I’ve been making another one on my lathe. It’s a tight press fit now not a sloppy loose fit. Attachment : 94F64...

@tej It was a new Dremel bit straight from the packet. Likely the very soft wide grain wood.

@tej I think using water in the rubbing down process is essential or there will be particles collecting on the abrasive that will tear the sealer out. It’s important to check the abrasive paper as you...

@rocknroller912 thanks for the advice, I’m a little wary of using water on the off chance it sneaks in anywhere to be honest though I guess we’re not talking a lot here! The product instructions I’ve ...

@robin yeah time isn’t an issue here, I spent longer finishing the last kit guitar I did than ours taken to get this one from scratch to where I am now. I’ve been a little premature with my questions ...
