Slightly Off Topic Tip: I recently discovered Reynold's Non-Stick Foil. It has a chemically coated side that has a dull finish. I read an excerpt from the patent and I wouldn't want any food touching that stuff, but it's great for disposable nonstick applications in the shop. My initial test shocked me. The non-stick property apparently uses some magic. It's incredibly non-stick. I tumbled some cast lead bullets in my rotary tumbler with some powder coat powder. When the bullets smash together, the powder coat is embedded into the surface. I then bake the powder covered bullets in a convection oven at 400F for ten minutes to melt and reflow the powder coat. As you might imagine, the molten plastic is very sticky. It stuck to anything it touched. After baking, the powder coated bullets lift off the non-stick foil with ease. I can see lots of use for this stuff in the shop.
