Or is this called something different here?
Or if anyone has a nice easy recipe for making their own, I'd be delighted if they'd share it :)

Tippex
Yellow ochre (powder or watercolour works)
Graphite
Ball clay
...
There's a few others but those are what spring to mind.
Thanks Peter - I have most of those knocking around!
Tippex is what I use on mokume plates to stop the plates and the metal fusing. Being mostly titanium dioxide, it's very effective - but can be a pig to clean off.
You do Mokume (eyes round) oooooo, lovely :dance: post some pics :)
Em
Shall do. I've got a stack sat waiting to go at the moment - need to clean it properly (again...) and bung it in the kiln.Quote:

Possibly meths, easier to get it in suspension than with water from what I've heard. Yes, I'd forgotten that one!Quote:

Don't worry about him drinking Meths, the purple colouring is there to make you vomit, the possibility of him doing it more than once is so slim as to be negligible ;)
Before you ask no I've never drunk the stuff myself but I know a few people who tried [-X
The purple colour is a dye. Bitrex is one of the commonest additives in methylated spirits to prevent it being drunk; there are others.
Industrial meths doesn't have the dye (although you need a licence from HMRC to buy it) but still has all the other additives.
lol I don't think he'd really drink meths....not when we have the wine rack
:rofl:
I adore the smell of meths.
Park bench Di?
Plain brown paper bag?
teehee
oh was that you George - didn't see you. That bag was a good disguise.
The Pentel micro correct has a ballpoint pen type tip which allows you to place the fluid where it is needed, it is solvent based so it flames off or evaporates before soldering takes place.
Finally it has a weight in the pen (like the ball bearing in spray paint cans) so it can be resuscitated after a long period of sitting in the drawer, when needed.
When applied to a solder joint which you want to protect, the rest of the piece can be heated to red heat without the protected joing coming unsoldered.
When you've finished soldering - chuck the piece straight in the pickle while it is still hot - the correction fluid marked areas will flake off straight away, needing next to no cleaning up.
