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.![]()
Well known fact: The hotter they are, the lower their self esteem. Back-handed compliments got me more ass that I wasn't worthy of in my youth than anything else. "You know those jeans make your ass look amazing, shame your thighs have just a little extra there."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![]()
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. Having 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.
You'd never know it looking at this thread!
Ohhhh, so it's basically like one of those touch-up paint stick type deals. Man, I've always wondered how they can get something like that to bind to a metallic surface without a chemical treatment beforehand. I totally wish I knew more so I could be a real help.![]()
I'd post pics of my favorite 3-D glasses that I've made, but they're all at the main office
Believe it or not, there are a TON of highly educated folks on 'ology. We just get silly with anonymity and androgen use.![]()
Well known fact: The hotter they are, the lower their self esteem. Back-handed compliments got me more ass that I wasn't worthy of in my youth than anything else. "You know those jeans make your ass look amazing, shame your thighs have just a little extra there."But yeah, it's kind of funny how they also love to plop their asses next to me because they see a wedding ring. It's almost like torture, but I do have to be honest and admit I like the attention.

It's all in good fun.
I'd rather associate myself with people with a robust sense of humor anyway.
There are too many stuffed shirts in these professions.

True, I can see that - but it's not much different (imo) than any other job where you're forced to produce at a predetermined rate by someone that has no idea how long projects actually take to complete.You'll say that until you're forced to work at someone elses pace :/
THAT is crippling.
