sanding the inside of a slot

[Packard]

I had to sand the inside of a slot.  I would normally use 3M's 77 spray adhesive on a piece of random orbital sander disk and adhere it to a blade from my oscillating cutter.  I save my dull blades just for that purpose. 

The adhesive is messy so I just throw away the blade and sanding disk when I am done. 

Last night I was in need of that process but I found that I was out of 3M's 77 adhesive. 

I had some dry mounting tissue leftover from my picture framing business.  That "tissue" is a thin sheet of paper with wax on both sides.  It is used to adhere art to mounting board by heating up a sandwich of art/dry mounting paper/mounting board.  The wax melts into the surface of the board and the art and when it cools, it is permanently mounted. 

I used that with an iron on the metal blade.  It adhered well, and heating it again allowed me to replace the sandpaper.  And not messy at all. 

If you have easy access to dry mounting paper, consider that as an option for this.  The stuff is pricey in the large rolls that I have, but not too bad in 8 x 10 inch sheets. 

I would not go out and buy it for that purpose, but if you have it in house, a good produce for this sort of thing.

The story of my life.  I just threw away that 30 year old stash of dry mounting tissue that I had sitting around!  It's either I can't find something or I throw it out and suddenly find a use for it.  [doh]  [crying]

Darn, now I have an excuse to hang on to the dry mount tissue I have. I have been slowly ridding myself of photography equipment over the past couple years. Still a lot to get rid of.

Anyone need a dry mount press?

The dry mount press is an excellent aid in hemming trousers.  Hang on to it. 

I have two 1967 Nikon F Bodies plus several original Nikon lenses
I have one Nikon FM body plus a short OEM Nikon zoom.
I have one Koni-Omega Rapid which I used for weddings
I have two Hasselblad C bodies, two 80mm lenses and one 150mm lens
A complete darkroom setup
Three power packs and 6 light heads for studio lighting.  Plus various light stands, background pulley system, flash meter, etc. 

I have no idea how to reasonably get rid of this stuff.  I cannot throw it in the garbage.

I'd think there's still a market for the Hasselblad stuff.

My neighbor's been successful in finding buyers for his Rollei & Contax gear.

For the darkroom stuff he found a local school and donated it to them. I'm sure he'll take some sort of tax break.

I work in Yonkers, NY and I live in the Town of Poughkeepsie (also in New York).

 

[rvieceli]

Ah! Lovely places I’m sure but the drive from Illinois would probably negate any savings.  [blink] [blink] [wink]

Yeah, it would not make much sense. 

I am not highly motivated to get rid of the stuff. 

Film photography is making a small comeback of sorts.  Recent court cases have been lost because the defense cast doubts about the authenticity of the crime scene digital images.  The digital images could have been manipulated.  Because of that crime scene units in those districts have returned to film photography. Film images are much harder to fake. 

I have also kept most of the equipment from my picture framing shop. Including the mat cutter, wall mounted glass cutter, dry mounting press, sliding table miter saw, Lion (genuine) miter trimmer, plus various other pieces.  Only the underpinner was sold.

And only the sliding table saw takes up much space.  So not much motivation there either.
