Do you think one of them is using gear pt. 2

Dude congrats!!! Believe it or not I have been trying to find that out ever since you mentioned it weeks ago.

This stuff I've found is really developed for real wood, not polyproplyene.
I ordered several items from this company but this one I have has the best dry times, opacity and some minor abrasion resistance.

The only problem is it doesn't have high abrasion resistance and it's not very user friendly.

I do want to run some more tests next week with our materials.
I have access to casein based inks that I want to try extracting the pigment from and using said pigment to make wax crayons with our colors.

Any ideas what you're going to do for the abrasion?

Maybe nothing.
This item I'm developing is for touching up damaged material, small digs scratches and edges.
Depending on the size of the damage, it may not be worth worrying about abrasion.

I'm trying to deliver more than what is expected.

U jelly of my 15,000L of casein?
 
The real tough part of this project is fucking surface energy.

The material I'm working to touch up is top-coated and cured with an electron beam sealing in the color. This process also gives it it's abrasion resistance.
The scratches go through that cured top coat all the way to the substrate.
The top-coat has a lower surface energy than the substrate.

My challenge has been to find something that will bind to the high surface energy of the substrate but NOT the lower surface energy of the coating. It's the exact opposite of logic.
 
Wow, it's after 3:00 already. So far the plumber came and left, schedules to come back tomorrow ($$$ :( ) and I've had 3 back and forths with the bank on my refi, plus a few posts here. Actual work done today - I opened 2 cad files.

Yep, definitely in love.
Okay, I'll take them both. :D
LOL. Yeah, I don't understand that. I haven't seen the movie though, and have no desire to ever watch it. All 8 Harry Potter movies COMBINED don't even total $3 billion and those were some fuckin popular movies.

Shit I'd settle for A mill. As long as you invest it properly you could still easily retire off that.
Captive audience as Avido mentioned. There was hardly any competition back then and given the "epic" scope of the film, it would be like Avatar being the only movie in theaters for a couple months. Then again, inflation adjustments are silly as it's not really THAT accurate as some expenses have far outpaced others in terms of cost. (Think oil dependent items like groceries that heavily rely on trucks to carry their product.)
I think it has a lot to do with market saturation.
There are just so many fucking movies out these days it dilutes the profits on a per-film basis.
Back when Gone With the Wind was out, it was probably the only thing in theaters and the next movie coming out was 3 years away. It's speculation but it sounds good!
Totally agree.
Raising the children as a man has been clinically proven to lower endogenous testosterone as well. We may have evolved beyond some species, but think about frogs that can change physical sex if needed. I wonder if that's the cause behind it. :axe:

Good looking, but damn so young.

Yeah, I'd still hit it though.
