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
It is lacquer based and highly toxic but to the best of my knowledge is the only option.

Acetone
ReplyDeleteThe base is thinner 21 and that's what everyone uses in Israel. It's not available in the US. Acetone is the only thinner that I've had success with in the US. It evaporates quickly and is not as good as thinner 21 but it suffices. They both have a strong odor and a well ventilated room, preferably with a good exhaust system is needed. If you work with super glue be sure to have Acetone close at hand as it loosens the glue, for example, if you get your fingers stuck together.
