I agree, but I'm not sure this is a case of that. The infamous 1909 Lincoln slabbed as a matte proof? For that one, I would've been inclined to...
91% is a better solvent, but also probably more likely to damage susceptible plastics. The "impurity" in 70% is just water, and not harmful. If I...
I see lots and lots of fine scratches in the "after" shots. :( I still think you would've gotten everything cleared up with the alcohol wipe alone.
I'd be inclined to wrap it in blankets, then tip it onto something that it can roll on...?
You may be the first mover in that particular location, but selling or claiming ownership of extraterrestrial real estate already has a long and...
Because there's certainly no higher use for that kind of computational (or electric) energy.
"I don't wanna sort/I just wanna bang on the drum all day..."
Well, I was having fun. And the home insurance company didn't have to get involved at all, so everyone's a winner.
And, of course, they are the sole arbiters of what is "obvious".
I'll say this for sorting cents instead of practicing drums: it's a lot easier on bystanders.
Let's see, $20 is 2000 cents, an hour is 3600 seconds... that's pretty close to "I'll let you keep the cents you check". I think I'm in the same...
What, you want longer posts from me? ;)
Yep. I've got a few square inches of platinum foil that I expect to use someday for electrodes, but making it into a little tray is also tempting....
That would depend a lot on how the metal had been treated. If it was annealed "dead soft", the bell would just go "thunk", and then you'd have a...
And they're more than happy to take soon-to-be-worthless birdcage-liner fiat bucks in exchange for it. Kinda makes you go "hmm"...
They had to use heroic measures to draw platinum out finer than gold (coat it with silver, then draw, then etch away the silver). It looks like...
Why, oh why, couldn't they have produced a standard uncirculated finish that looks like an original Peace dollar?
I haven't yet found an India Pale Ale strong enough to dissolve Sharpie marks, but I won't give up the search.
Not at all likely, but if you're nervous about it, try wiping a corner of the slab.
My understanding is that headlight lens restorer is a polish (abrasive). I'd try the isopropyl alcohol on both the Sharpie and the glue residue first.
