trouble with removing iron pontil protection - 7/31/2006 9:13:07 PM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline O.K. Everyone, I have used marine varnish and fingernail polish to coat my iron pontils. They work great for protecting the iron, the problem is removing them. The iron comes off with the remover. What am I doing wrong? Also, the rubber ball are great, but the duct tape always comes off. Why is my duct tape coming off?  Post #: 1

I let it dry, it gets hard like a super ball, then I make sure i have something in place  under it, to meet the fingers on the stopple and the silputty above,, just incase. I have never lost any thing by using this stuff and you can use it again. (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 3
