Schmoopocalypse!

We have a secret weapon. We will have Timmy buy a few bottles and the price will plummet.

Which is why you have to spray it

And it is challenging to spray an emulsion of this kind reliably, in a package that might set a long time.

I'm sure there's a way. But the development stopped when I had a compound that worked well for me and I'm not able to invest the resources to make a similar compound that would work for folks using it differently than me

I have had a lot of luck letting the spray bottle sit for 20 minutes to and hour upright after use(I think this helps gravity pull the emulsion out of the puck up tube )

Then I store upside down

I have had 0 issues with the pump!

Is he really that much of a market canary? Lol

When he buys you sell. When he sells you buy haha

Pretty sure you are a SME on spraying solutions.

I've used it on basswood and leather

I like leather the most but I hold a different angle than I would on basswood

I spray to get a some what even coat of diamonds

Is the overspray wasted, or do people capture it on another strop or two?

Some is wasted as with any other spray able solution

Also this stuff is beautiful, but if you're not paying attention it'll delete an apex if you don't know what you're doing

Spray is the only way for schmoo - I use a sprayer from an old eyeglass sprayer that came with my eyeglasses - just set it on top a few spritzes, it never plugs up - schmoo stays in original bottle, the schmoo pump never worked, sprayer just doesn’t feel right, even replaced the tube - Crappy pump?

You’re right. There’s been a couple times where I smoked my edge lol. Learned that lesson quickly.

I think your heart is in the right place but the mechanism doesn't work the way that you think.

I think I'm done selling here.......

Watching flippers work is disgusting

Might be just friends from now on

I see you............

If you Google it, you can find the Cook medical Hemospray that I helped design that sprays a similar sized powder down a 2 m cannula. That's my baby. Google it. I didn't develop the actual powder or the surgical procedure but I did a large part of the R&D (in our R&D lab) that figured out how to spray that powder down a long skinny tube in a wet environment to stop internal bleeds in some specific applications. I did not do the initial styling of the product but what you see on the internet is almost 100% my work and the internal engineering is pretty remarkable, I'm very proud of it. There's a lot of stuff there that you can't see but, this is the only other damp powder distribution problem that I've worked on in my career that was similarly challenging.

This is really cool. Thanks for sharing. Now you peak my interest on your other designs and work outside of knives. Or also with knives and the knife industry.

Do you consider flipping cost plus shipping? Or just straight up selling for a small profit or a large profit.

Hold my beer..... lol

I've had a couple adult beverages lol

My thoughts are my thoughts

But what I'm willing to sell is going to my homies first for a price lower than what I see posted from now on

 

[JearBeatus48]

good points. And I would agree. I find it very odd to want to flip products, but I get why people do. A few times I “made money” on knives I sold it didn’t sit quite right.
