thank you for the tips, everything you just said i think back and i was doing it all…didnt stretch the skin enough, definately was holding my machine at a 90, and used hardly any vaseline at all, i did have my water handy though( mostly to prevent the pigment drying in my tip). i have the book and its probably the best thing that ive read since tyhe outsiders in high school. again thank you for your help. im sure ill be back with more questions.

Chinese machines are what i have, i’ve buned out a set of coils already by turning up the voltage, but i have two sets of coils and two sets of springs (liner and shader) on their way. I’m hoping throwing a few quality parts in my machines helps. Thank you for the help

thank you

I have noticed that my rubberband seemed tight and my coils were heating up, so I started prestretching the rubber bands and the coils are still getting warm but nothing like before. I just didn’t see how the bubberband being too tight couldn’t affect the machine, it just didn’t seem logical so I paid no attention to that advice. I have also been able to turn the dial down to about 8.3 and I seem to be getting smooth lines.

Makes perfect sense. I totally understand what you are saying. I just don’t have a lot of info on any of these matters until I receive my copy of “the book”. But I truly appreciate all the input that I am getting.

I guess that was a no brainer? As far as the back spring I should have been more clear, what I should have asked was what do you mean by softening? My gues is the amount of bend on the spring but I just wanna be sure. I don’t mean to be a pest with all my questions, but it seems that every pro in my city seems to be to good for anyone with questions, and also seem to be to good to take on an apprentice.

very nice work…that had to suck though(rough spot)

Very sweet
