Definitely had purple hands though RE: favorite resources for info on saw refurbishing and sharpening - Tony Z - 02-01-2017 Go to your local gun shop and buy a can of "sight black". It is more of a spray powder and easier to clean off your hands than Dykem. If you get Dykem, bear in mind there are two kinds, the liquid one that dries (believe it only comes in red) and the greasy one (believe it comes only in blue and is used more for "scraping" surfaces true). I've found also using a black Magic Marker works. RE: favorite resources for info on saw refurbishing and sharpening - Admiral - 02-01-2017 Oh, yeah, +1 on the red Dykem, which comes off easily with a bit of DNA on a rag. RE: favorite resources for info on saw refurbishing and sharpening - EricU - 02-01-2017 the greasy blue stuff sounds like Prussian Blue. I haven't had really had trouble getting Dykem on my hands. Maybe back when I was a teenager. RE: favorite resources for info on saw refurbishing and sharpening - Tony Z - 02-01-2017 But the container says "Dykem" and not being a metalworker, I didn't know any better until I opened the container (I knew enough to not use any on a saw), and yes it was like "Prussian Blue". As I said previously, Magic Markers work nicely and are readily available (also work for marking soles of planes prior to flattening). |
