Need help keeping those ink buckets cleaner
« on: June 05, 2011, 02:22:05 AM »
Most people (myself included) have problems with keeping the ink from dripping all over the edges of the bucket. All you need are some metal BBQ skewers and then poke them through the side of the ink buckets (cut length to size) to use as a tool to scrape your ink knife instead of using the edge of the bucket. If you insert them into the bucket when the lid is ON the bucket, you will be sure to make it possible to keep the skewer when the lid is on and the buckets are stored on the shelf. A simple, yet effective trick!

Nothing is more difficult than the art of maneuvering for advantageous positions.

very cool! I'll try that!
Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!
