Starrett stick-em tape query
Folks -
One of the earlier threads in reponse to a 1023 review mentioned an LS Starrett fence tape. I have searched their site and used every key work I can thimk of.... nuttin'! Got a part number or description? I have checked my tapes and indexes and there's enough of a variance between everything that it needs attention. I was thinking of standardizing with the stick on tapes and a 12' tape, all from Starrett, as time goes by... Also, does anyone, besides A - sell online? Plenty of Starrett on Amazon, but no sticky tapes... On a related topic, I purchased a 24" steel straightedge from LV. I don't really want to hang it to store it, I'd rather have it in a drawer - should I store it flat or on edge? TIA, John |

TIA, John Just got mine also, though I got the cheaper aluminum model. I was concerned that the steel one would rust in my garage workshop so it was an easy choice. I assume I can hang it from the hole it was provided with and am doing so. If it were put in a drawer I would be concerned that something in the drawer would have a fight with it and it might lose.

Store it on edge. That ensures that there is a balance of ambient air striking both major surfaces, thus keeping the molecules of the material in equilibrium. Also be sure to take a green magic marker and run it along all the edges so none of the precision interior molecules can escape and ruin the calibration of the instrument. Also, be very gentle when opening and closing the drawer you store it in. Once you have it on edge it's extremely susceptible to lateral forces and may fall over on to the flat. You want to avoid that at all costs. - - LRod Master Woodbutcher and seasoned termite Shamelessly whoring my website since 1999 http://www.woodbutcher.net |

LRod -
Thank you SO much for your helpful information - however, you have failed to inform me of what to do about oxygen molecules and radical free ions. Your humble knave, John "LRod" wrote in message ...

Your humble knave, I'm sure there must be some special free ion spray available at the same places that sell the green magic marker. NB: that is not ion spray at no charge, it is spray that you pay for that addresses free ions. And who addresses free ions? I suppose it depends on how radical they are. I can't keep this up. My head hurts. - - LRod Master Woodbutcher and seasoned termite Shamelessly whoring my website since 1999 http://www.woodbutcher.net |

But what is the postage to that address?

It goes without saying that it should be stored in a solution of de-ionized
camelia oil and carnuba wax. Storing on the side is the WORST thing to do though. Store it vertical so that the earth's magnetic flux passes through it in the thin direction. Jeez, some people. -j "John Moorhead" wrote in message ...

And here I thought my 12" ruler had mated and had a 24". It's the pull that
turned it into a 24"er! DANG!!! "Mark Jerde" wrote in message news:tOADd.121$SS6.59@trnddc07... J wrote: Storing on the side is the WORST thing to do though.

Contact the Department of Homeland Security. I'm pretty sure the
Patriot Act allows radical free ions to be incarcerated indefinitely, without charge.

NO. NO. It's not radical free ions, it's free radicals, and
they couldn't be incarcerated without charge because if there were no charge they wouldn't be free radicals. Anyway, even Homeland Security knows the proper response isn't incarceration but application of Vitamin C. John Carlson wrote: Contact the Department of Homeland Security.

The Starrett adhesive measuring tapes are available online from Enco
http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INLMK3?PMK0NO=374006 in 4, 6, or 12 ft. lengths. Oregon Rule Co., which another poster recommended, has longer tapes. A former employer of mine got a 30 ft. tape from them. -- -- Steve |
