Impatient Pete Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Hi Guys, I allready posted this on ARC, but I think it would be a good one for the tips and techniques section, so here it is: When I am removing casting blocks from resin, I hold the part over a vacuum hose that I hold between my legs. That way, all of the dust is immediately sucked down and away from my face. Just be careful, as the vacuum doesn't differentiate between the part and the excess and you may have to go sifting...if you know what I mean Hope this helps and thanks for keeping up these great forums and this great web site!

Haggis Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Try explaining that to the nurse in casualty..................... "I was making a model aeroplane naked when I accidently slipped onto the hoover..................." Nice tip BTW, I do it under a running tap (with the plug in), this stops any dust flying around but you have to dry the razor saw afterwards or it will go rusty.

Nillus Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Or you could put some stocking/pantyhose 'borrowed' from a young ladyfriend over the vacuum hose. it would provide all the suction, and stop the important part from being ingested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll just get them from my wife. I think that would be best. She might get upset if I "borrowed" them from a young lady friend! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
