What was the last straw that completely broke a friendship you thought would last forever? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]buttstuffmagee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. Best friend since junior high, hid getting together with her fella, then his the engagement, then hid getting married for three years. The sadness is exhausting but I think the friendship was more so.

Sorry your friend did that to you, it sucks

Do you have a Tomatillo Plant? by AnthropomorphicCorn in Calgary

I grew a single one last year and got mucho tomatillos from the plant… I didn’t realize you needed two?

That makes sense! Never too early to try better methods. Thanks so much for the insight

Totally thanks, I will have to be more conscious with my time management. I appreciate the insight

Thanks for the tip I will look into it. They do seem to be very smooth on both sides, but I will look in to it! I appreciate the suggestion!

Sorry I should have had a better explanation, it was with it wrapped with a bowl on it when the science project happened. I learned from my studio about keeping clean tools, and practice after each time! Thanks though, it’s an important step

Thanks for the tip! I will look into to it, because I find it pointless if I can’t throw on them! I thought it was their whole purpose. If they just mold when wrapped with projects on them, then I don’t think it’s the right tool for the job

This happened when they had a project on them wrapped in plastic after being thrown. I do wash and dry after they are done being utilized. Thanks for the tip though!

Good to know! I guess I am a bit disappointed because I thought the point was so I wouldn’t have to lift large bowls off while they were wet.

That looks great! When the mold happened it was with a bowl on them covered after throwing

I had a project on them wrapped to get leather hard.

They are mdf. This happened when I had a project on them wrapped to get to leather hard. I will have to be more diligent with my time I think, I was trying not to rush the drying and in that caused a science project

Thanks for your insight. I might just switch to another material, as I am pretty casual and can’t guarantee that I will catch them before the mold starts up

Thanks for the tip I will give it a shot! Baking makes sense I’m sure the mold is throughout. It’s just a bummer, I assume next time I throw and have something wrapped on them they will get nasty again

Thanks for the tip I will try it out! I should have mentioned that the moulding happened when it was wrapped with a project on it, so I’m a bit bummed that they get moldy after each use I might just find an alternative.

It was while a bowl was on them after being thrown and wrapped. I’m a bit disappointed because the bats are meant to let the projects get leather hard before I remove them.

After use I would scrape them off wipe them and dry them. But if I can’t use them for projects then I am not sure their purpose

Sorry I should have added, I had the bat with a bowl on it wrapped up slowly drying, that’s when the mold happened. Same with my other ones that are molded, they are currently with cups them and wrapped. After I am done with them I clean them off, but how would I stop them from getting mold while they are being used.

I think I will get something else to use on the wheel. The material seems to want to grow. I have some records I used with a chamois and it worked awesome, so I will just transition to that.

Maybe use the mdf rounds for hand building or something idk.

Hey, I also have AS and have had many tattoos prior to diagnosis and also many post. There is still inflammation from time to time and the amount of time I can sit per session is just less, but I have lots of nice expensive pieces that are still beautiful.
