Lace Cutting Question

[rcsaddles]

Wow, a blood sacrifice, I never thought of it that way. Thank you for informing us of that. If you don't mind, I will use that one in the future.

Please tell more about the white fuel and wax mixture. How much of each do you use? Can you store it in a glass jar for later use or not? Does the wax solidify and you reheat it? You guys left so many unanswered questions I feel like I am listening to my teenage son. Hope you all take that as a joke. I really would like to hear more about this so please post more.

This is such a great place for information.

Yep, blood sacrifice. I use that cause it would seem for me anyway, that no matter what I do about learning something new; either in leather braiding, or in my full time job; I always end up with some sort of cut. Either on my hands, or my fingers and sometimes both. LOL... Hence is where the term blood sacrifice for this type of work came from for me. LOL... I read my bible a lot and the first time I cut myself with my Aussie Strander, I thought of the term blood sacrifice from the Old Testament. LOL...

You can use that term as much as you want Joe. I don't own it. LOL... But I do experience it a lot. LOL...

joe...the white gas/wax thing is in bruce grants book how to make cowboy horse gear. you take the white gas and shave as much wax into it as will dissolve. be very careful as the fumes can ignite from a fire source many feet away, also they are heavy and travel along the ground. b.g. says it is for sizing sleazy leather.

That sounds like a good trick to keep in your back pocket. Thanks for testing that out acox!
