Thank you. I hope the back is fine as well. I have made it to work and surprisingly getting a few things off the list.
Maybe one day we'll hear the story about how you came to be known as Wildman. In the meantime, I'm going to treat you with respect and direct my shenanigans, Tom Foolery, and malarky toward Neal. I know from experience that I can outrun a mattress salesman.
Clint, I hope your back continues to feel OK. Maybe some gentle stretches and a good hot shower later this evening will help.
Just an update for everyone. Joe from JosephsLathe (at Etsy) is truly a gentleman. He took very good care of me for this issue. I feel well taken cared of and would definitely do business with him again. In no time, he made thing right by me. Thank you Joe!! I passed on everyone's recommendations about knot depth and he was happy to accept suggestions and will make changes to his future brushes. I hope, Joe, you work on a few more brushes as I am sure I will want to add to my collection. They are definitely beautiful.
Just make sure it is 100% silicone. Most bathroom stuff is an acrylic mix. **Edit** Meaning stuff labeled Tub and Tile caulk.
@Douglas Carey, congrats on the CT! For not having had time to read all the posts, that makes me feel like I have made a good contribution to February's 30 Day thread.
GE is the brand that I used in 3 brushes. Have had zero problems. I did let mine cure for a full 24hrs, and would recommend the same.
Kirk: “Status of the Klingon warship raid, Spock?” Spock: “Captain, we obtained a meager bounty of 100 cases of Voskhod’s, 150 sticks of Arko, and 37 liters of The Veg. I’m happy to report that we’ve found logical uses for each product.” Kirk: “Continue.” Spock: “Sir, as you know, we’re running short of Feather blades. We’ll assign Voskhods to the men until we resupply at Starfleet Headquarters. Then we’ll trade the remainder to those foolish Romulans for supplies we can use.” Kirk: “You know what this means, Spock.” Spock: “Yes, Captain. Lt. Uhura has requested a shaving waiver from Starfleet Command.” Kirk: “Very well, then. Chekov, get the blades to the men immediately. Gather up the Soap Commander. There’s no need to waste it on Voskhod shaves. Have the men use Barbasol and Rise until further notice.” Chekov: “Sir, some of the men are not old enough to shave.” Kirk: “Understood. Voskies will be perfect for them. Scotty, as for the Arko and The Veg…” Scott: “Captain, if you please, the men could sip on a wee dram of The Veg to get through those cold winter evenings….” McCoy: “Jim, he’s out of his mind! The men can’t handle The Veg! It would disrupt the entire mission and maybe even jeopardize your command! Jim, PLEASE!” Kirk: “Scotty, Bones is right. You can keep a few liters for the officers, but send the rest to Vulcan for that party they have every seven years. And for goodness sakes, don’t spill that stuff. You know what that would do to the titanium floors. Spock, Vulcan has little contact with the outside world, correct?” Spock: “Yes, Captain, that is correct.” Kirk: “Scotty, use the Arko to degrease the warp drives and clean the engine room floors. Is that clear?” Scott: “Aye, Captain.” Kirk: “Men, back to your stations. Warp 9, Sulu. Let’s make tracks before we have another close shave with the Klingons.” Sulu: “Warp 9, Captain.”
