  1. Various thickness printed plasticard structures?
  2. PLA I would assume to be opaque white, from the starch base of corn.
  3. Having pondered over doing candy marines, I have gone back on that. I've had Loth and command crew for years. I've loved their infusion of Apothecary trained individuals. They are stoic, badass marines that don't leave geneseed behind. Then this weekend we heard they are finally addressing Badab et al. I suspect that they are pulling a 7th ed on us, give us a bunch of releases and then launch 9th age. Regardless, I have ordered all marines to use solvents on their armor, gear, weapons, and vehicles in preparation of the new paint jobs.
  4. I have a 30+ lb piece of quartz with a lot of rust.
  5. Pondering on it some more, I'm leaning towards: soak quartz in water and scrub sediments off, break quartz into smaller pieces, add quartz to muriatic acid from Wal Mart, soak for 3 days, rinse quartz in distilled water, then let soak in distilled water for a week changing water once or twice, transfer supernate to a beaker and boil off the acid into condensing line leaving me with iron oxide for rust effects, take the now hopefully free of solvent quartz pieces and crush them into white silca sand for basing minis. 😁
  6. Today was the first day I had seen the word. 😃😃 I'd have described it as the Hydrochloric Acid and any particulate it dissolved into the solution. And have. I'm bit more of jack of all trades. This has afforded me the ability to, earlier this evening, approach a 4.2 acre ranch owner with the proposition of being their garden hermit. Of course, I will have to fashion my own hovel. There is already a creek and pond, with many a mossy tree. One of the first requests they have, once we discuss the arrangement in detail, is to enhance the pond to allow for Koi.
  7. I think I'm largely having a conversation with myself, plus a stray heckler in the peanut gallery. 🤬😡😂🤣😂🤣
  8. This is truly fascinating, and I really missed out not taking it in school.
  9. It also brings me back to, how to seperate supernate into its parts.
  10. I did indeed. And I thought it was ment in jest, but as I'm so green, didn't want to make assumptions. I've heard of colleges and unis doing civvie sitins, where public can take a course free of charge, not get credit, but review the course and teacher for the school in exchange. I shall have to see if SOU or RVCC offers such.
  11. Honestly, what I'm trying to figure out is how to filter Iron from Hydrochloric Acid. I believe I can setup a heatsource, glass, and evaporation to separate. But it seems to me that rotovacing would be the better method.
  12. To expound, I am viewing the precipates as the high volume material remaining, while the solution contains all the evaporated materials.
  13. I received my Science credits in HS via all the CAD/Graphic Designs/3D Modeling/Network development and troubleshooting classes I took. As such, I've never taken a chemistry course, and admittedly have slightly better than a passing understanding largely imparted via being an HVACR guy and dealing with saturation, evaporation, vacuum effects, solder/flux/silver alloys, etc
  14. There is a comma, making your statement inaccurate, unless I am mistaken, and all precipitates within the solution are individually accounted for at different stages of vacuum in relation to the solvent used?
  15. Can you seperate a supernate solution via vacuum separation, or does that only separate the precipitates from the supernate?
  16. I can't speak for West, but in my experience, youtube How2s are largely different from GWs. GW tends to say what, but not how. They try to fit everything into like 2-5 minutes. The youtubers tend to be more in depth, showing a technique multiple times from different angles. The GW/FW painting books, as they were images and words, tended to be far better instructors than most of GWs vids, too.
  17. Only the good die young. I'm not sure what that says about Terry and his fellow Pythons.
  18. Some 18 hours later, the 70% IPA isn't having much effect on the Silver, Black....well, it's not working on anything other than congealed super glue on the feet and the Tam Red. I'm pretty sure I have half a gallon of 91% in my truck, I'll check later on and swap them out.
  19. So, at this point, any Tam Clear Red has dissolved from the models as expected, and started happening pretty quickly; the rest of the paint is loosening up, but not enough to come off brushing, just enough to stain my fingers. Always wear gloves, kids.
  20. I don't buy into that Special High Intensity Training.
  21. I have a dread and a janitor in the tank. Letchall know how it goes. Oh, couldn't find my 181, had to go with 140 proof
