Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
I repaired the painting of my retzuot and batim with Dio Lanetzach for Rapidograph.
ReplyDeleteImportant: before painting, rub the area you plan to paint with sand paper to remove most of the old paint. Dio Lanetzach adheres well to sand-papered leather. It may not adhere as well to old paint.
Another note: Do not use Dio Lanetzach to paint new, unpainted, batim. The leather in new batim is slightly oily, which prevents good adhesion.
ReplyDeleteI am now experimenting with mixing Dio lanetzach half/half with acetone, as a first-layer paint. The acetone helps overcome some of the oiliness. But, you must use it all up after mixing. Don't store Dio mixed with acetone for a few days. It can ruin the dio.
