I have some sandpaper. It says it is wet/dry.

What does this mean? Can I used it wet OR dry? Will it make less dust if I
use it wet? Can I wet it with water, or do I need special sandpaper fluid?

I also noticed that coarser sandpaper has larger grit, and that it makes
bigger scratches. Finer sandpaper has smaller grit. This is all very
clever!

Yes, you do, I live in a special place where the proper fluid comes out of the ground as
if by magic. I can sell you, as a RCM'er, all you want at 8 dollars a gallon + shipping.

Holy water works well. You can swipe some at your local Catholic church.
Bring a Slurpie cup and just fill it up. Tell them you have a lot of atoning
to do.

Try to get some of the gritless stuff. It's slow, but it will keep you
entertained for hours.

You can make it at home, by buying emery cloth and soaking it in the holy
water. Then a quick run through the clothes washer and you'll have really
smooth gritless. This is an expert trick.

It can, but that is not what it means. It means that it CAN BE either wet
or dry, but not at the same time. If you spread it on the ground outside,
it can tell you whether it is raining. Don't fall for the holy water scam.
Just lay it on the ground and wait for rain.

I have tried to do this, but the slurpie cup is too tall to fit under the
fountain. Should I try to tilt the cup before I fill it, so that it fits
under the fountain better?

This is a very good idea. I will try this tonight.

Shall I paint the sandpaper, to protect it from the rain? I could attach
heavy duty casters to the sandpaper, so that I can easily move it around
outside.

Something funny happened to me today. I noticed there are different sized
tips on screwdrivers!

I had though (incorrectly) that the only difference was the size and
length of the stick that conects to the handle.

Somebody told me that using the correct sized screwdriver will be much
better to do than to use the wrong size.

Is this true? I shall try it tonight.

You don't need to paint it. But, if you mount it on casters, you will need
to protect THEM from the rain. Use castor oil.

It's true. Phillips head screwdrivers are thicker than the other kind.

I hope you are aware that screwdrivers are not labelled "right" and :wrong."
If it turns out that the one you are calling wrong works better, you may
jump to the wrong conclusion.

Save yourself a trip to the church, just fill the cup and
boil the hell out of it.

Wes, If you are going to sell it, don't forget
to include the correct Dihydrogen Monoxide
MSDS sheet. Nasty stuff---many have died from
over AND under exposure. You might
want to check and make sure it doesn't have to
ship HAZMAT.

I think a hamzat fee would be reasonable. Lots of industrial chemicals are
very powerful.

Can I water your sandpaper fluid down with water, before use?

***Preferrably internally. Helps in case you are FOS.

***I respectfully disagree. Surely everyone knows screwdrivers are labelled
"right" and "left". Like snips. One is for screwing, the other for
unscrewing. Unless you have a left-handed thread, in which case whole
different set of screwdrivers, used *by left hand only*, is called for.

Should I boil the water, or should I boil the cup? I think that I can melt
and boil the cup. I have a torch (with casters) that I can use for this.

I was thinking to use military surplus cosmoline. I cover everything with

This is quite funny. I at first though the answer was "poziSCREWdriver"
was the answer to this very clever joke. I was just centimeters away from
the correct answer.

I do not understand the "right" and "wrong". Do you mean a "tighty" and
"loosey" screwdriver? It can be confusing to use the same screwdriver for
both tasks.

Thank you Leo, you are most helpful.

Use a piece of aquarium hose.

This is metalworking- you're supposed to use regular sandpaper with
WD40 so you don't get rust.

(actually, this works pretty well)

Interesting. I'll try that on the next vacuum pump.

Everybody on the planet seems to sell major rebuilt kits of Precision belt
driven pumps. Any suggestions of good places to get one of these kits
from?
