Where have you been buying your spotting ink at?

I bought that at Dapra, but they have a $50 minimum, and the dye
was only $12, so I had to buy some other stuff. There may be
other distributors without minimums or with other stuff you
need, like MSC, KBC, Travers, etc.

Okay thanks. I bought some once from a place in MI over the web and
thought I'd just drop by on the way from picking up a 12" RT and get more
to save shipping. Well I had the gps coordinates and address but never
found the place. One of those areas where roads appear and disappear. I
wish I had the foresight to have written the phone number down.

The place that looked closest was a developement with $1M+ homes where names
on brick mailboxes were verboten.


I later got a bottle of blue Canode at Cummins Industrial, no
idea why they had it, but they had several cases hidden in a
pile of stuff in the back. One of our local metalworking group
members spotted the stuff there.

I found a deal to good to be true. 3 pints for 4 or 5 bucks each on the
web. Ordered it and never recieved it, got charged or recieved a sorry we
are out.

Sorry about your back and the next time my uncle makes observations on my
shop conditions, I'm showing him your picture

Ahh, it gets bad for a while (the junk that is), then a big
project develops, and a mad cleanup has to be done. There are a
few piles of stuff that are hard to get into, but that entire
area in the photo has been totally rearranged. At the right
edge were where I had shelving units arranged like library
stacks, wasting a lot of space in the aisles. I calculated I
would only give up one rack if I lined the walls with the
shelves, opening up a HUGE area, where my surface mount pick and
place machine now sits. See

for awful pictures and story. But, that was NOT one of my worst
projects, but most successful, so I couldn't talk about it in
the original response.

Is that what I would call a PCB board stuffer?


Nice stand btw.
Thanks, I think it is pretty cool, too.

Looks like your knees don't beat into it compared to a rectangular stand.

How much was the freight on that big rock and what were you scraping?
