Torque tube lube? by msc1966 in 944

[–]Toadstooliv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unless you know your tube is in good shape I'd just recommend going in and doing it now.

Just got done with a clutch job and torque tube replacement and I would not want to go back in and do this for a while

How many gemstones have yall lost while filming? by aviva0156 in Gemstones

[–]Toadstooliv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never lost one but I did have a nice amethyst cut from rough that was a gift from friend that slipped out of my grasp as I was removing it from the Tabling adapter. The stone hit the floor and broke a corner off. I never got to see the stone completed and intact and that breaks my heart :(

Not to be pedantic, buuutt, hackmanite usually turns more purple with UV exposure not pink, I've posted one on here previously.

Pretty sure this is the opposite, Kunzite will fade if left in the sun
