MEK is also a great solvent!!!!!

I’m going to have to investigate MEK as a plastic welding agent.
(I like working with plastic).


It’s classed as an irritant (like shellite) but more flammable than both shellite and acetone (it’s explosive), so as a general purpose solvent Acetone is the safest to have around.

Yeah, shellite makes your skin go all pasty looking, sort of like Jez looks, just not as ugly smile

So that’s his secret to pasty looking skin.

Devo as right now! I was meant to go heli boarding tomorrow but a few members decided they didn’t want to go so we were two people down for a group of ten. We could then pay a little more to make it 8 people but the others weren’t keen at all.

So looks like I won’t be going until April.

Was really looking forward to it..

Devo that after figuring out how to watch the xgames and then spending sometime converting the times to figure out what we would see live. I was very disappointed….

My snowboard got stolen last week from outside the lunch shop.

Positive is that travel insurance might cover it.

That really sucks TJ sorry to hear. There are some absolute f***wits out there.

Not a massive deal, I should get it covered by travel insurance and it’ll cost me $100 tops.

I think it’s a really dog act but if someone is that desperate, than their life must be a lot shittier than mine is right now… seeing that my life involves snowboarding, partying and work (which is more often than not snowboarding in disguise)

Yeh a mate of mine had his stolen at mid station, (he used to always put his binding through the board racks so it didn’t fall over and get damaged, and one day we came out and it was gone.. Found it down at jax a few hours later.  He brought a board lock right away.. Now we always lock our boards (and lock friends boards with ours aswell…) I hope either you get it through insurance, or it turns up (or you get a new one then it turns up! - double win!)

I’ve seen many boards fall or get knocked over at midstation that make their own way down the hill.
