5. 8/1 - I did not turn out nearly as well as I would have liked, but at least it's all done now. :glare:

For what it's worth, here's a picture as promised...

So the etching cream finally worked on Ray's Pyrex? Or did I miss a post?
3 applications, overnight, and it bled out under the resist. I had such a perfect stencil too. Etching cream usually works in about 15 minutes. It works on some pyrex glass, and not on others. Ray uses some really high quality pyrex.

If I do anything like this again, I'll use a sandblaster.

For those of you who know, check out my modification to the SB button. It sticks out 1/4" and is completely removable. I'm leaving it on until the button gets a little easier to press.

Alrighty then - I just got "My" package from "Ray" and I could not be happier . . .

(Well I could be - especially if the Red "Drip Tips" didn't look so dam "Pink" ;) )

Of Course - :facepalm: I splurged

AND - I got more then I really "NEEDED" right now . . .

However, in "My" defense (And - Not that I really need to defend myself to anyone for taking the opportunity to purchase as many as I did, except for "My" Friend who gave me the additional money I needed) - given the Sale and that I had a couple of "Gift Certificates" I won in the weekly contest that I was saving for a day just like this . . . AND - As if that was Not Enough - To save a little extra money - I got a few "Scratch & Dent" Pyrex Premium tanks which I could not normally afford even with the more than reasonable prices "Ray" charges for these (BTW: In reality it was 6 Pyrex tanks - 2 Red, 2 Blue, 2 SS - plus extra "rings" & 4 boxes of Pre-punched Cartomizers, and also a "Hole Punch" thing

)
. . .

SO - Why am I telling you all this - because after checking each and every one of them at least 3x's there is only 1 (and I do mean 1 out of 6 Tanks) where you might possibly say there was a very very minor scratch (and that is pushing it) since it can barely be seen by the "naked" eye unless "You" use a

to find it like I had to do . . .

I knew "Ray's" quality control is unsurpassed - but this is . . .

ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE ! ! !

THANK YOU - "Ray" . . .

Hey - Looks Good to "Me" - I'll take both the Tank and the APV if "You" are not happy with them . . . :lol: :lol: :lol:
(Although it was meant as a rhetorical type of joke - I'm quite serious - I'll take the whole "set-up", including the "Drip Tip" too . . . Just Sayin' . . .;))
