Just an FYI, very hot tap water is in the 110-130 F range. Water boils at 210 F. That's a pretty big difference. I usually only put NFO on the grain side. It quite a bit easier to get too much on the flesh side(more absorbent). I also put it on before dying. It helps prevent blotches. Probably not an issue with black. JM2C, Jim
I bought my CB 4500 from Bob at Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine. I highly recommend him. Call him and visit with him. He was very helpful to me. He advertises on this forum. JM2C. Jim

Just as an FYI/update. I clicked on the link to see if it was still up and running. McAfee flagged it as a suspicious site. Don't know why, they don't mention that.
I guess I thought it was a joke. I have an airbrush and I use sprayer bottles for various things. There is no comparison on the spray patterns. They might work for a special effect like @Gezzer did. JM2C, Jim

+1 on the round knife. Yes, I did have to learn how to use it. For straight cuts, I'm trying to use up a knife that @chuck123wapati made for me. By the way, I love it! Thanks again, Chuck. Story here:
@ArkieNewbie,
Did you have trouble turning the body of the bag after sewing it? I don't usually make turn bags and have never made one of Veg Tan. I have a friend that made a "possible bag" from Veg Tan and has had fits trying to turn it. Just checking to see if you have some advice. Thanks, Jim
