Re-Bushing a grandfather clock !!  Is that even legal - and then you talk about meringues so presumably whipped cream is involved - what on earth have I got into - hope my hard drive isn't compromised. (:-))

Whipped cream and bush - sounds like a bad political drama (or good - depending on your point if view)

If you like Wild Turkey you may like Costco "Kirkland" Bourbon.  My son told me about it, He likes Makers Mark from JD and came across the Costco one whilst shopping.  It is a 7 year aged bourbon weighing in at 51.5% by vol or 103% proof. Reputed to come from the Buffalo Trace Distillery (Kentucky) and tastes a bit like Jim Beam.  I will be refreshing my stock on the next Costco visit as I am getting low (;-)) post-197-0-82593800-1402122598_thumb.jpg

Pity about no Costco, its good stuff and my stock not low its gone !  Slight edit to above, Makers Mark is not from JD its a different distillery - B Samuels, Kentucky. - should have put "and" instead of "from" apologies to Samuels.  Wonder if it knacks up your grey cells. (rhetorical)

Geo,

 

There is a pattern developing here, I take it that like me you have what is normally referred to as a sweet tooth !

 

Try the Tennessee Honey half and half with 94% proof Makers Mark but don't plan on any watch repairing, in fact I wouldnt even breathe near one, also stay away from naked flames (unless its an old one of course).

 

Cheers

 

Vic

Well I suppose it might be a good degreaser?

 

On the subject of sweet drinks - I have a real taste for Southern Comfort. And I picked up a bottle of Souther Comfort special reserve from the airport on a trip back from Florida a few years back - very nice stuff straight up with no ice.

 

I would love another bottle but I have never found it in any shops here in the UK.

 

The Tennessee Honey is amazing stuff - grabbed a bottle last Christmas and me and my mothers husband polished it off in one sitting, we had no intention of doing that but it was so more-ish. The next morning (Christmas Eve) it's all I could taste - all day.

I think I might just take you up on that suggestion Vic.

What a great forum, it' amassing the things you discover! :-)

      No idea Rich, but for your own sake please avoid inhaling the fumes.

      I would try the vapour treatment very simple just a simmering pot of the stuff and jewels bluetacked ( not whitetacked this time, you still haven't said if I'm forgiven yet 🙂 ) to the underside of the lid. You're now gonna tell me that stearic acid can be highly explosive above 90° C 🤣

      I guess it also depends on the precision and quality of the watch. He works on vintage watches mainly and surface treatments on 50 - 60 year old watches probably isn't going to make much difference. I read about nano coatings for car finishes. The article claims that nano coatings can reduced the coefficient of drag by 5%. Is that number significant? I don't know. Maybe if you were trying to break the land speed record. But applying that on a 50 year old clunker isn't going to make it go any faster, accelerate better or save on petrol. 🤣

      😅 yep certainly overdid it , i wasn't sure if i had enough heat so i went out and left it cooking. You can see the thick frosting, bit like my cherry buns.

      5 hours! You have slow cooked it! It must be really tender by now. @nickelsilver posted about his Greiner machine a while back. It had a heated chamber of stearic acid to epilame jewels and it only took 60 seconds. I've tried stearic acid dissolved in ethanol with a flake of shellac. I'm not really convinced by my test results. I conducted a side by side test by coating a mirror with a stripe of stearic acid and putting several drops of 9010 on the treated surface and untreated surface and observed it for several days. The 9010 spread out about the same for both the treated and untreated surfaces. I spoke with my mentor recently regarding epilame and lubricating pallet jewels. He has stopped doing both because he finds no significant improvements to the end result.
