Red jellyfish swarm Melbourne's beaches in 'unbelievable' numbers

Nice weather

Was having a little melt down, when this happened

@classwife

 

[Doffy]

any general tech type tips for excessive heat when sanding the surface?

it is sort of rough linen/flax fibre texture with some oils n stuff

first sand was P600 (different to #600) and got v hot

 

[pdib]

so, about 440 grit? (per internet)
that's still really fine.
is the paper getting clogged with oil and dust pretty quickly?
when it starts to get clogged with paint is when the heat starts to build.
only solutions I can think of is a much coarser paper, much drier paint (like days/weeks from now, or a heat gun for a day), or change to fresh paper every time it starts getting clogged (which would be very very often, at this point).
one other thing . . . well two: don't sand one area repeatedly (repeated strokes), move around in large random circles (so heat doesn't start building . . . by the way, heat makes clogging happen faster too, with oil involved)
and you could use some kind of lubricant ("wet" sand . .. with oil, solvent, water, soapy water, whatever the media can handle) . . . although I imagine wet sanding isn't really an option here

brilliant, thank you

while my space is super, OCD level organised and neat, as you know. I'm not sure if i have rougher, but will get some

and i can wet sand with something vaguely resembling the seafin you like

Had mod lock in fire position

So, cleaned it. Still waiting for it to dry

Meanwhile, rebuilt stumpy
Mixed 100ml of 37mg nic with no WTA.

I have been down to 2.5ml of 36mg WTA in 100ml final brew

Following is approximate. Based on aroma retaining natural ratio


So 0.9mg of combination of nic and minor alkaloids (for the WTA bit, aside from the 37mg nic)

0.072mg of the minor alkaloids

So I figured at this point. Around 0.01ish of each. So what harm can going without do?

I'll find out. When my other mod dries

 

[pdib]

so, all that mathy-number stuff is to say that you're going to basically skip the WTA or minor alkaloids?
are you going to go bat-guano nutty?
be careful with your self-medication there! (meaning, don't be messing with the balance too much all hasty-like)

Had mod lock in fire position

btw: don't know why, but I had to read this like 3 times before my brain switched from "some sort of new Covid safety measure" to vaping lingo.


(I think I was reading it as *mock* lock in fire position . . . . which made no sense)

 

[Doffy]

7am so too early for more than a few passes on a Sunday

But promising. And not scalding hot

And draw, redraw, quickdraw macgraw

It probably is good practice to isopropyl for that anyhoo

 

[pdib]

cool. i like the sanded look. "timeworn"

perfect

i was thinking of incorporating this quote


“If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.”

 

[Doffy]

Willem DeKooning did lots of time worn type scrapey sandy stuff in his excavations series

He's the "Woman on bicycle" guy that kinda expanded arshile gorky (last surrealist into first abstract expressionist)

But the excavations were where my namesake jackson pollock (ex wanted me to be pollock when i changed name and jackson was compromise) took dekooning further. Then dekooning took that as inspiration

i'm jealous of your galleries collections

 

[Doffy]

a bit covered in chalk that will come off

but the blue is the stuff loosely planned and hope this stuff happens

then glaze/varnish to pop

“If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.”

it's hard not to.

that first pic is great!
second one is very good too.
and I like the one with your shadow because it looks like a field of tile.

had crisis assessment treatment team today

90 minutes travel, for lots of questions, no answers. And follow up tomorrow with a psychiatrist
