Actually, it does, but it's about $200 a pint.
That's a lot of locking down, too ... it just takes a drop, right?
mmmmmmm.... neepery and Loctite Green...
good werk sir...
mid-90's with a breeze...
Weather is good... for the moment. :-)
Hullo hullo!!
I always love hearing from the troops!
I'm off! Gotta get the jedis in bed, now that their stomachs have settled.
Sometimes just a tiny drop. There are probably thousands of applications in a pint bottle. A tiny drop is waaay too much for a screw on a HH knife, but I can't get it any smaller. I did a few knives with a syringe with Loctite Green in it. But it "went off" inside the needle overnight. I guess only plastic is safe from its locking, hardening powers.
I wonder if you could use some of those little tiny itty bitty pipettes? They are just a bulb and a tube, tiny tiny and only take a tiny tiny drop...
The whole thing is only about an inch long...they would be single use.
OT, you know what I'm talking about? We use them to collect blood samples from a pricked finger for use in glucose monitoring...
Well, there's nothing you can do about that! LOL!
OOORAH!
Trying to figure out the context...but sounds like something a Jedi Master would say to his Padawan.
For now, I'll just use it straight-from-the-tube. A 10ml tube (about the size that lip balm comes in) is $6. I can probably do 100 knives with that.
Bay is a lot better, and this time the drugs have worn off and he's still on his feed. He's impatiently waiting for dinner at the moment, which is a relief. Gonna go feed him.

When we were in San Juan, Puerto Rico back in 1985, I went out to El Morro, the castle/fort at the head of the harbor. There was a gun emplacement that was named 'Santa Barbara'. I didn't know, until we returned home, why it was named that. I thought that was cool!
I don't mind your neepery! If I send my HH knife back to you, can you pleasae give it the Loctite treatment? I think I got mine before the looseness of the screws thing was discovered.
Just thought you might want to see it and be assured... :~D
Welcome to the Hobbit Hole! 
HOLYSMOKES... the old Texas was decomm'd and is now in Bremerton?? Well... if that dont' beat all. If it were a snake it would'a bit me.
I was on some Navy ops with that boat. [snif] That was a good looking ship.
I'm just sayin'...with these Fine Tip Transfer Pipettes, you could get the drop smaller...I have used them to transfer vey tiny droplets of blood...sometimes with older diabetics, that is all the blood you can get from their finger...just a fleck, nearly.
Still, unless OT had a place to aquire some...I don't know where we'd get 'em. They are pretty expensive and not worth the cost. If they were, say, free...might be worth you trying...just to get the appropriate-sized drop.
Cool... in college we used to use those micropipettes to make a... uh... wait... nevermind... :-)
I'm so naive...and I'm so glad! LOL
