Brown's Snake Oil
To the two of you who asked for a sample, the goop is in the mail.
Frosty P.S. Can you please post your thoughts on this stuff after using it? P.P.S. I used some with a separating disc yesterday. NICE! |

I love that you call it snake oil, by the way--when he posted to Orchid about name suggestions, I was kinda sad no one suggested that one. Or maybe someone did and I missed it when I was deep in the throes of fever-madness--I've got serious catching up on messages to do. For a while now I've thought about writing the guy to ask him directly for a sample. He seems kinda busy lately getting it ready for marketing & whatnot though, so I didn't wanna bug him & add anything to his plate. So, would you be able to send me a smidge if I gave you a coupla bucks for yer time & postage? Lemme know :-) *for people who might read this & think I'm an r-tard--don't be silly, of _course_ I am! It's not because I dunno how to spell or speak properly, though. I purposefully spell/say both of these words the wrong way, 'cos I think it's really funny (which, incidentally, is one of the little quirks that make me the aforementioned "special person" that I am... !) --m3rma1d -- To reply by email, carefully remove my panties. |

We had a bit of a conversation on here about cutting oils and spit and I suggested that I would send a sample to the two comers who were sniping me about it. If you write to the dude on Orchid he'll send you a little jar to sample. Or if you write to me offlist (my address is good) I'll send you less in a little zip lock. You don't need to pay me. I'm gonna back the guy financially because I think it's the best product of its kind I've ever used. I love that you call it snake oil, by the way--when he posted to Orchid about name suggestions, I was kinda sad no one suggested that one. I wish you would tell him this either offlist or on Orchid (I prefer the latter.) I've suggested this to him a number of times buy he is without humor and doesn't see that, while yes, "Snake Oil" *HAD* negative connotations in the past, all those who see snake oil as negative are long dead & buried.

To the two of you who asked for a sample, the goop is in the mail. Frosty Well, I received a rather suspicious looking envelope today. It was a very greasy envelope, with a stamp from Knoxville, TN. Like it had been in a puddle of oil or someone had left an oily rag lying on it for some time. Upon opening the envelope, I found a very greasy piece of paper, with what seemed to be the printout of a snowman on it, and ... an empty 2 x 3 ZipLock bag. Whatever oily substance might have been in that bag, was now impregnated in the paper and the envelope. It must have leaked out of that bag in transit. I did see some remnants of what looked like light yellowish goo. Actually it looked quite like sperm. You couldn't have, you didn't, did you?!? In any case, there was nothing in the envelope of any use. P.S. Can you please post your thoughts on this stuff after using it? I would have liked to, if there would have been anything to use. P.P.S. I used some with a separating disc yesterday. NICE! On separating discs?!? That's like using sand paper with a lubricant. I always use separating discs without a lubricant. -- Abrasha http://www.abrasha.com |

Wet/dry paper, for example, is specifically made for that, and in industry, many instances of grinding operations are done with lubricants of one sort or other. Those nice 3M sanding films last longer and cut quicker without loading up with a bit of water to help, even if they don't actually need it to work for example. The function is not just to cool, but to help carry away the dust. In the case of seperating disks, the work doesn't get as hot, and especially with the fragile very thin ones, you'll break a lot less of them. And they seem to cut a bit faster too. Obviously, not all abrasives need or work with coolants or lubes, but many of them require it. Use your diamond abrasives for a lot of work without coolants/lubes, and you'll be replacing them a lot more often, for example... Try it. You might find, to your surprise, that you like it. Even traditional woodworking sandpaper sometimes gets used with a bit of water (raises the grain, needed for some uses, or with some types of sanding in between coats of some finishes... And yeah, the zip lock seems like a slightly leaky shipment method. But my ziplock seemed to have fared better. Pretty flattened, but still a pretty good shmear of the yellow/brown goo to try. See if you can salvage enough from your zip lock to try it once or twice. I'll bet there's enough to drill a couple holes, at least... Peter |

But seriously, I've been in touch with Randy (the guy who makes it) and he's gonna send me some more to give away. I still have your address and so I'll send it in something that won't leak and have you thinking weird thought about me. In any case, there was nothing in the envelope of any use. P.S.

On separating discs?!? That's like using sand paper with a lubricant. I always use separating discs without a lubricant. Yeah I always do too. But it was there and I said, what the hell... I'll always use it from now on. I used it on a #6 file today. And before you ask, I prefer #6 files like I prefer 10/0 sawblades, though I have some 3/0 and some #4's as well which I use for some things. |
