I am fortunate enough to have access to highly concentrated NaOH which strips anno pretty quickly. However, that being said, I have "over done" the process once before and have to monitor the reaction constantly. The GS seems to be a more gentle approach in that it works a bit slower, hence more control over how much is being removed.
I have to wait to list it till about 2AM or 3AM hoping he's asleep, but I think he's got an OL alarm set on the forum somehow, LOL.
I'll tell you, it was hard enough making one of those, I wouldn't want to make two. My nerves were shot by the third time cutting it out. I just wanted to run out screaming and pulling my hair out.
I was hoping it would go well, as I thought it would give many people an option for being creative with logos, names or graphics, on smooth body lights. I do not believe this could be done over knurling or anything like that, but any smooth section could be done. It will just take some practice. The tape I bought was 2" tape, but it comes in all widths and a small roll is not too expensive, especially if you can get free shipping. Overseas might be harder to get.
I worked part time in a sign shop, here in Tyler. I know the owner could do it for me, but… well you know how I feel about that. For anyone else, it’s a viable alternative. I really considered it after the second screw up, but I just bit the proverbial bullet and figured I had a 50/50 chance on the third time. Either a charm, or strike out.
Justin, I love your work, not only is the attention to detail staggering but its a true non flashaholic light too. I could happily pass this too a family member and know they have not only a good light but a beautiful one too. :bigsmile:
