This works extremely well actually. Just tried it.

But in my case, the carbonization is actually quite serious, and that spot is more of a little pit now. This was in spite of me applying deoxit gold quite frequently. My plan is to sand it slightly with the 5000 grit sandpaper to smoothen it out.

After that, I think for best practice, don't be lazy like me and wait until there's "issues" before cleaning the positive contact. Be semi-diligent about it and a soft white eraser will suffice.

I've also got down to paying 40 bucks to get no-ox-id shipped to Singapore. I'm hoping that it reduces the amount of maintenance I need to perform on my positive contact. I personally don't run super low builds. In fact I've gone up from 0.4 ohms to 0.5 ohms on my cc.

Oh why the hell did I think it was a good idea to take up a job in Singapore. Face palm

Yes.

Try the eraser first. Definitely.

A great trick for polishing silver.

For initial cleaning, I think it's vinegar and aluminum foil. Don't recall exactly, but it's a common household liquid that's cheap. As long as the silver is in contact with the foil and they're in the liquid, any tarnish will come right off just like jewelry cleaner, albeit a little slower.

Then polish with a white eraser.

Of course with arcing, pitting and carbon build up, this may not be the solution. If that's the case, I'd file a flat spot to increase contact area and minimize pitting. The larger contact area allowed by the flat spot should easily mitigate any arcing issues. The convex nature of the silver contacts dictates a very minimal contact area on the flat surface of your battery.

Alright.

So I tried and tried like hell to figure out pricing without actually having all the products in hand... to no avail.

Suffice it to say I've done my best to keep the cost as low as possible while not sacrificing quality and still satisfy as much as possible, everyone's desires.

I have no reason to believe, even with special size (and pocket) needs for certain individuals, that any shirts will be over $20.00 by more than a hair, if at all.

Of course this includes drop-shipments to utilize company shipping discounts and eliminate the cost of shipping goods twice.

Etc.

Those who I believe to be exceptions have already been contacted, we've agreed, they've chosen their shirts, and half the shirts are already in the custody of my contact with the other half in transit.

Of course it's the half I've chosen for proof prints we're waiting on. Always something...

Anyway. I didn't want to do this without some sort of nearly solid pricing point. But without itemized shipping costs and exact price on goods, it leaves me somewhat guessing. Without a definite price on the work, I'm nearly completely clueless.

But I have confidence enough to guarantee out of my own pocket, if you feel necessary, the $20.00 cap per shirt I quoted above. (With those exceptions I spoke to already.)

Again, I expect easily lower than that.

And of course, the more we get, the more we can spread out one time costs such as artwork and screen setups.

So without further adieu...

The order sheet...

Custom-classic T-Shirt!

ETA: PLEASE FEEL FREE TO WAIT UNTIL WE SEE PROOF PRINTS TO PUT YOUR NAME IN FOR AN ORDER.

Yay! Despite what the rather erratic tracking was telling me, the slightly more sinuous bras sibling has arrived!!!

I love the feel of the extra weight in my hand. Rushed picture - I'm "working".

Thanks again for taking the time to do this, Beck. We all appreciate it. :thumb:

I work from home. I just set off the smoke alarm in the room where I work (and vape) :oops: We have very high ceilings and I had to get up a ladder and wield a long-handled broom to turn it off.

Back to only one hole open on the Stumpy :(

CCs hit hard, don't they? :lol:

That looks really good for a rushed picture. I love the weight feel of the brass :)

Hi guys. Believe it or not CC'S were waxed but not used yet [emoji50]

I think they might need rewaxing!

I'm really ...... off, I didn't get them to hide them but everything is suddenly urgent at work and clutter at home is becoming out of hand, and for some reason my wife assumes our son needs food and attention ... pfft ....

If all the clutter is cuttin into your vaping time, a couple of suggestions:
1.] Quit your job
2.] Get a divorce
3.] Sell your children​

  • Quitting one's job makes it difficult to afford nice mods.
  • A divorce would only make it worse.
  • As for selling the children: I hear the going rate is pretty low. In some cases, you might have to pay people to take them.
