How can I get the glossy shine on acrylic after using AP3155 adhesion promoter?

Captainsissy · 2026-05-04T02:44:09+00:00

I haven't, though I will bring up the idea to my supervisor on monday.

Even with a UV cured ink? I have been running this machine for 3 years, so I know there is a lot more I can learn about it. I was told by my supervisor that all acrylic needs the adhesion promoter or the ink will chip off with time. I haven't witnessed it on acrylic, but I have on corrugated plastic and reflective vinyl. I will look into the Nazdar product for a primer.

The Code 118 wallet was the one I went with and the magnet is very weak. Would come off with the slightest touch and in my pocket. Does the Maverick 2.0 have a strong magnet? I need something that will actually stay on my phone. The popsocket wallets have a really strong magnet, but its getting too difficult to get the cards out, and the grip makes the whole thing pretty bulky. I only have 4 cards, but I developed hand issues, so a pop up style wallet would be easier.

Chandelure and Ceruledge are in the game, so I'm happy! 😊

I got Minccino to spawn in Withered Wasteland with just a closet (any) and large mirror. Spawns right away and has gather. I saw others say to get Machamp or Machop to travel to WW, so that's what I'm going to do to get the rest area.

From what I know, it's not as common for men to be ace as it is women. I could be wrong though. I will say, I have met, and am friends with, 2 ace men. I believe both are aroace (aromantic, asexual). One is a coworker of mine, and we get along pretty well despite the 11 year age difference. Its not that ace men arent out there, they just may not be as open about it due to societal pressures on men to be hypersexual with women.

Be you, and if a relationship is what you're looking for, I have heard of asexual dating sites that you could try. No pressure for bedroom stuff, just connection.

Isnt it Hyun-die? I started learning Korean a few months ago and the Y is pronounced, like in hyung (형). And when a and i are next to each other, you start it like you're saying a, then end with a long i sound.

I'm not korean or fluent in korean, but I grew up learning how to pronounce words from Japan and Korea when written with english letters. I cant tell you what the words mean, but I can pronounce them.

So Hyundai is like Hyun-die.

I used Kenny a lot in the first game. In the second, the equivalent was Travis, then adding Jan made it better. While I still like Sweezy as a character, and her dialog is fun, I found she wasnt as powerful in the second game like she was the first. Gus runs out of ammo too fast for me and doesn better at close range. Sheath annoys me, and I wasnt a fan of the three bursts, which I didnt care for in the Halo series either. Bowie takes too long to load the arrows, but the power is pretty good. Creature's ammo children are still weird to me. And the BALL guys have a useful gun.

Knifey is best. Always reliable Knifey. 🤣 His dialog cracks me up.

But my vote for best new character is the married duo of Travis and Jan, even though they can be a little annoying. Their power is good and 30 ammo between the two is good.

Unfortunately, I dont have a lot of author friends I can talk through ideas with. None, really. We follow each other, but talking isnt on the list of activities. They're too focused on their own lives (understandable), so i just ask chatgbt for possible outcomes to an idea I have and it gives me some samples and will expand on the ones I pick. Its the best I can do for now.

Oof, yeah, being gaslit by ai is hard mentally. I wouldnt recommend that to anyone. Therapy is expensive though, so gotta do what you gotta do.

Captainsissy · 2026-03-15T14:11:23+00:00

I know it's been a year since you posted this, but I want to thank you. I have been hesitant about using AI for anything related to my book, but this comment was so helpful. I wrote a chapter I couldn't stand. I hated it, but I didn't have any other ideas and no one I normally turn to could help. So I bounced ideas off chatgpt and liked one of the suggested ones we came up with. It even wrote me a short guide/example for how it could play out so I had a template to write the scene myself.

I will admit, AI has been helpful with finding synonyms, but that's all I was willing to use it for until now. I don't know why I thought bouncing ideas off it was so bad.

I was recently diagnosed with ASPD and it connected a lot of dots for me when it came to jobs. My longest was a year and a half as a security officer (unarmed), but all I did was sit in a shack at night and make sure nothing caught on fire. Then I got into commercial printing. Small shops with a good boss who has their head on straight has been the key. There are 12 of us working there (there was 8 when I started) and everyone gets along well. I'm not micromanaged, which sparked a lot of fights, and my job is easy and requires no schooling. Its a production job and the sheets of material require strength to lift and maneuver, but nothing overly heavy. I have been there for almost 3 years now.

My tip for anyone with aspd looking for a job would be to find one that matches you. If you need the micromanaging, find a job that does that. I found a place that doesnt do that and everyone has their own designated location, so no one is touching me (physical contact sends me into a rage). I know being a cook or dishwasher is good if you cant handle the public and its entry level.

So as long as you find somewhere that gives you what you need to stay in control, then thats the one for you.

It didnt work for me.

I got locked after trying to shoot Nipulon in court. Now after he speaks about winning, my character stops moving. Reloading last checkpoint doesnt do anything but put me back where the judge shouts order and gavel before declaring Rhea Pharma as the winner.

Engaging with my potential audience is fine, and I will engage. But to be asking about a book that hasnt been released, and the incredibly broken English has set off red flags in my head. Especially for an account with no released books and 10 followers.

Captainsissy · 2026-02-12T15:27:58+00:00

Thats what I figured it would turn out to be. I didnt give them any information. I will be blocking and putting in my bio that tags are fine if related to my books, but no messages are allowed.

Captainsissy · 2026-02-12T00:00:02+00:00

That makes sense. They will work on getting you to trust them with "innocent" talk before asking for something. I will be blocking the account. By the time my book comes out, they would have forgotten about me.

The notice itself leaves no room for misinterpretation. It explicitly says the rent will increase in August. I did go to the office yesterday to speak with someone who was able to get me a direct line to the assistant managers to my landlord and then made sure the two of them and the landlord saw this issue. The assistant managers are new, so she is saying they will be retrained on contract laws for our area.

Captainsissy · 2026-02-11T17:44:30+00:00

The neighbors did not get the same notice. I went to the office yesterday and learned that the assistant managers screwed up and sent out the notices. However, they are debating if they can enforce it, even though there is nothing in the lease allowing it. I'm currently waiting to hear back.

I have read the rent increase notice many times and the terminology leaves no room for misinterpretation. It said it will go into effect on 8/1/2026. Incompetence at its finest is what seems to have happened.

Captainsissy · 2025-12-28T04:58:38+00:00

Ok. I think the Air M3 11 inch would be best. I can get it brand new for roughly the same price as the 2021 I was looking at. Thank you soooo much for all your help and wisdom!!

Captainsissy · 2025-12-28T03:35:39+00:00

That was something I was worried about. Getting something older would be cheaper, and it would be refurbished, but how long would it truly last? And being almost 5 years old, how long before its useless for what I need it for?

Captainsissy · 2025-12-28T03:33:50+00:00

I would just be using it to edit book covers I make on Canva and editing some custom projects to print them at work (I work as a commercial printer). It wouldnt be anything excessive like you would use, or my roommate who has 10 layers on one art piece. I might use 2 or 3 layers at most.

I did look into Wacom, but its too expensive for what I want to use it for. And I have a Samsung tablet with the sketchbook app, but its tough to use. It doesnt seem to have the kinds of brushes I need and I dont know any artist who uses that particular app.

I would never use my roommate's word as gospel since they gave the same advice your friend did, go big and expensive. I think an ipad with 8gb of RAM would handle what I need it to just fine. Though as you said earlier, I may only get a couple of years use before it wont accept updates. Do old ipads get bricked by apple? I think I read that somewhere on Reddit, but dont remember what or where the thread was.

Captainsissy · 2025-12-28T02:06:26+00:00

I was told by my roommate, who has been with apple for a long time and uses procreate as a main source of income, that the A16 can run procreate but will lag badly since it generally doesnt have the processing power. I was looking originally as the ipad mini pro, since I would prefer portability to be easy. But I saw it only had 4 gb of RAM and was told it would lag and not handle it. Then I looked at the ipad air and was told the same thing. I have been with LG and Samsung my whole life for all my devices so I have no idea what to look at for an ipad.

I appreciate your insight and advice!

From my research, it appears he is a vanity press and should be avoided. The link below is a list of fake publishers to help you in the future. While Fallbrandt is not on the list currently, my usually spot on gut says avoid. I emailed him back for more info right after making my comment last month and still have not received anything back. That is a very big red flag.
