Tonight I was turning two Jr. Gent II pens (1 BOW, 1 Shittam) for a silent auction at my grandfather's church. I also decided to turn a an acrylester churchill as well (for me!).
While waiting for the glue to cure in the wood, I painted the inside of the acrylester blank white.
After a good turning session, and a terrible CA finishing session, I quickly straightened up, grabbed the acrylester blanks and put them out of the way, then grabbed my new shiny pens.
When I got upstairs, I saw that I had wet paint all over my hands, and all over the pens. I was utterly depressed.
Luckily, I was able to use a dab of water and a little fingernail scraping to get it off. It was a frantic few minutes though
So, today's lesson is to either pay attention when painting blanks, or at least wash your hands afterwards!
Thanks!
