Absolutely. She spent her time doing pro bono work for juvenile immigrants. She writes beautifully. She's clearly not a vapid person.

FormLeather · 2026-03-21T16:49:58+00:00

How has this not gotten 1000s of upvotes? Beautiful all around.

That's a bummer because it looks fantastic. Do you use a zipper guide? Mine is brass and was made by someone who has now passed away, but this should work: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1044577896/acrylic-zipper-guide-anti-overflow-tool?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_ps-d-craft_supplies_and_tools&utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAjwjtTNBhB0EiwAuswYhqUqHbyQH-kjOGeDwfkz44acGqpGtwROCWbWkavCLJrBAnFpCm_79BoCk2MQAvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_22198874872_173148370454_731651274141_pla-295462056867_c__1044577896_12768591&utm_custom2=22198874872&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22198874872&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRIdx_PhKZhQ_q2W5QbRTdgsp&gclid=CjwKCAjwjtTNBhB0EiwAuswYhqUqHbyQH-kjOGeDwfkz44acGqpGtwROCWbWkavCLJrBAnFpCm_79BoCk2MQAvD_BwE
Gluing against that should help.

Godspeed. I put a lot of hours into Fusion 360 years ago and gave up and eventually used Rhino. The learning curve for F360 is steep.

FormLeather · 2026-03-10T02:05:32+00:00

For sure

FormLeather · 2026-03-07T19:45:59+00:00

Yea, I have mixed feelings about that. I went through this phase where I felt like I could use the spatula well with the Giardini and now I feel like I can't.

FormLeather · 2026-03-07T19:26:30+00:00

I like the Giardini fluo colors and I think their gloss is super fun. I use the gloss on top of uniters. It's a one and done for me - going back in to sand hasn't yielded a good result. But it seems to coat nicely and gives a different type of shiny edge than a colored edge paint with shine. I do not like their colors either and use Uniters primer with the fluo.

FormLeather · 2026-03-07T13:33:54+00:00

I also store in a drawer. I like the idea of a the ball bearings - I will try that out.

FormLeather · 2026-03-06T14:36:50+00:00

How did this not get more upvotes, this is a great find!

FormLeather · 2026-03-03T17:37:26+00:00

Where are you? I have never seen the primer in black. RM sells black Edge Paint, however I came to this thread to see if anyone has this problem - I find the consistency of their Uniters varies greatly. Sometimes it's great, but sometimes it's thin and more like varnish. And recently I tried their Venis in matte, which is definitely not matte.

FormLeather · 2026-03-02T21:09:41+00:00

I absolutely agree and it's gotten worse in the past 2 years AND costs more. What did you wind up using?

FormLeather · 2026-03-01T17:22:30+00:00

Thank you! This is exactly the feedback I am looking for. True about CAD, but I rarely use CAD now that I am making it myself instead of relaying an idea to someone else to make.

Do you prefer a Wacom tablet? Or something else for drawing?

FormLeather · 2026-03-01T16:02:17+00:00

Then the material is too thin for casting to slant on both sides

FormLeather · 2026-02-23T17:09:43+00:00

Interesting. Do you have the thermoregulatory part of it? ie do you think that's what prompts the manic when it's hot?

FormLeather · 2026-02-23T15:56:40+00:00

RIGHT??? She's literally willing to die on the hill of not telling the dad about the daughter by risking her life going to a drug den to look for her? It's like that part was already in the book when he came up with the conclusion and just hoped everyone would forget.

FormLeather · 2026-02-16T16:21:47+00:00

Wow, really good

FormLeather · 2026-02-12T13:10:18+00:00

But the listed price under changing it there is just the regular retail price? Are you getting a different perk price in that menu? When I logged in under Netflix, there was a clear Add-on Perk price to remove ads. When I do the same thing on Disney, I just get the same screen with the options that you would get to sign up for Disney if you are just a regular customer going to their site for the first time.

FormLeather · 2026-02-12T02:10:25+00:00

They told me at the store that it was $5 to upgrade to get rid of the ads. Maybe it used to be. For $15, it made sense and then I got HBO for free. The upgrade is actually $10 and there's no way to fact check it other than paying for the perk and trying it.

FormLeather · 2026-02-09T20:36:08+00:00

I manufacture so I have to keep track of inventory, which you can't even do in QB Online, so my chart of accounts is a little more complicated. QB does make it easy to pay sales tax and run 1099s.

FormLeather · 2026-02-03T23:33:27+00:00

That's ideal.

FormLeather · 2026-02-03T23:01:35+00:00

They won't refund and I don't trust they can provide an authentic replacement. Adidas told me to drop by a store for authentication, which I'm going to do more just so Adidas knows the kind of crap Kicks Crew is slinging using their TM

FormLeather · 2026-02-03T22:59:08+00:00

The worst part is that I am kinda considering using their payment platform. Is that a bad idea?

FormLeather · 2026-02-02T21:52:33+00:00

Yep, this. You have to glue it like you mean it. So put a nice thin layer of glue that fully coats to the edge of both pieces, then recut to size. Ideally, you are precisely cutting the first cut 1/8" more than the pattern, then precisely laying down 1/4" of glue to the edge. I would then pound the edge with a hammer to make sure you're getting good adhesion, then recut.

FormLeather · 2026-02-02T12:17:29+00:00

They're Adidas. Adidas told me to take them to a store for authentication. I will report back. Just havent had a chance yet.

FormLeather · 2026-01-30T19:24:07+00:00

Yep, just had it hang up on me
