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

In it's absolute base sense, yes. lol.
Without getting into detail what I'm doing now is dealing with pigments used in industrial printing.
I just call it fingerpaint because nobody actually gives a shit about the technical side of it.
It's just "OOH colors!" to them.

So you're building a mirror?

You're right, that's exactly my problem :p
I need to get it to flow in the opposite direction. :spin:

This is where my limited chemistry background betrays me. Although can't you simply add energy by using heat to apply the pigment to the high energy/surface area material? I think that's a valid process, but this is way out of my area of understanding. Alternatively, I wonder if using electric charge with opposite polarities could do the trick too. I know that's how some materials are applied in situations like yours.

Interesting. I guess it negates the primal need to mate in a simplistic way, so it kinda makes sense. No shit! I don't understand why it's socially so much easier for them. It's hard goddamn work gettin laid as a male.

Yeah, I can tell you from experience that you do feel really fucking feminine. Didn't help that I had just started testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) too, so my hormones were all over the place for awhile. Yeah, I do enjoy getting eye-fucked sometimes - but if it were the other way around and I wanted to get laid, all I would have to do is walk over and start talking. Doing that as a man? They get all tripped up on their words and act silly. I'm not extremely handsome by any means, but it's funny how talking to them after they've been flirting with you (I'm not even trying to get laid LOL) for the last hour can put them on the defensive so quickly.

Of course it doesn't help that I'm usually twice their size, but I'm usually just being friendly. :p Except for "my blonde"; if the wife ever gave me a hall pass - I'd be on that faster than a line at the unemployment office as they open on Mondays.

I understand completely. I avoid telling people what I do because it turns into a long story nobody cares about.

There is a mirror in it, actually it will be a free-form curved mirror, a 90nm OPL 1/4 wave retarder, a wire grid polarizing beam splitter and the LC modulator. But for now I'm just working on the mechanical aspects of the mount and setting the design parameters for the mirror shape.

I just got more sizeon and superdrive delivered, but it looks like I'm going to have to miss a scheduled gym day :(

I'd be interested Rumpy. Sounds like you're an EE or OE, which is my major. ;) I love how many engineers/technical professionals we have here - DESTROYING that myth that AAS users are all dumb bros that can only pick heavy things up and put them down. :p

I second this ^^^. Before I switched majors I was an engineering major. This stuff does not bore the likes of Half and I lol

Oh I can't wait to feel like even more of a bitch (no offense) than I already do. That's assuming I ever meet someone worthy of my hellion spawn... or meet someone in general. Yeah, on the rare occasion I catch a girl eye fucking me it's definitely a nice confidence boost. Most men don't even have the confidence to walk over and actually initiate the conversation to begin with. I've found myself in that situation more than once. That's true though, there's a stigma around men talking to women ONLY to get laid (90% of the time that's true) which I think pushes them away. Plus they all think they hold the power. There's a nice feeling to being an asshole every once in a while when you know she's a stuck up cunt and flaunting it. Telling a 8,9,10 you're not interested or dropping slightly rude remarks degrading her has an odd sense of empowerment. I guess that's why they like to play mind games all the time :p

That's where I'm up against a brick wall.
The customer wants something as user friendly as possible for their workers, a marker or pen type delivery system.
In their head they want to be able to draw over the scratch and wipe off the excess with a rag. It needs to dry instantly in the scratch but not on the top-coated surface. Leaving the touch up material left only on the scratch. That's where this problem of high/low surface energy is coming from. The customers want our new product but don't want to change anything in their process. With the materials they were using in the past, they could do that because what they were using was porous. Our material is new to the industry and it's learning curve is proving to be pretty steep.

There are a couple of things I could do to decrease the surface energy of that exposed substrate:
I could corona treat the surface
Flame treat
Chemically etch and so forth

The unfortunate part for me is I can't use any of the options since it doesn't conform to the customers idea of "user friendly". It also exposes the rest of the material potentially damaging effects.
When I was able to get our inks to bind to the substrate I had to be very careful with the ratios of chemicals I was using. Too high a concentration of binder and the surrounding material gets damaged, too little and it doesn't bind.
