Hi Guys,
Just one of those days, picked up the barrier cream, unscrewed the top and the whole lot shot over the lathe. Things don't always go well in the workshop, need a brew to calm me down!!!
Cheers David

Bad luck. Why does the toast always fall butter side down?
I gave up with barrier creams and now use blue nitrile gloves - can do most things in them except tiny screws!

Look on the bright side -- it wasn't pumiced hand cleaner, or thread locker.

Wasn't the layout blue disaster of 2012, either - been there, still got the stained t-shirt...

Hi there,
I had a layout blue disaster recently. I needed to drill some holes in a diecast aluminium alloy box. Got my bottle of layout blue down off the workshop shelf and painted the blue onto the box using a brand new brush.
Did something else while it dried. Trouble was, it didn't dry but stayed tacky. :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:
I'm sure it was OK last time I used it, maybe I washed the brush with a little methylated spirits and put that into the bottle instead of discarding it. (I've found in the past that several washes with a little meths each time uses less meths than an inundation!)

Your lathe will clean up easily in future! :doh:

Well Dave H. (the other one), at least you have layout blue. I haven't been able to find it in my neck of the woods.
Have to make do with sharpies.
Ah well, I was going to say that there are other benefits in living here, but the EU decided to take those away too!
At least the view is nice.

Quick, take a photo of that view - the EU 'll have that off you as well soon!

Don't give em any ideas! That is dangerous. A big Oops there!
