maybe this is in the wrong place but since this seemed to be a theme at this past years AGI, I figured I'd post it here. It may be common sense to some, but maybe somebody even newbier (not a real word) than me can benefit.
Right before I left for AGI I started putting clear over my colors before I pulled stringers for I/O work. Protects the color and I like the effect when you fume behind it...adds a sort of extra layer of depth.
Then I figured I'd just drop them down a tube melt it back and pull my stringers that way. I probably pulled 5 colors the day before I left. just to have some prep work to come back to. (worked out great cause I came back from AGI all inspired and ready to work)
Well when I came back I decided it was kind of a waste to use up tubes this way...stuff that could be used for blowpipes..downstems...etc. Thats when I looked at my trash bucket overflowing with points...PERFECT now I take all my scrap points close of one end drop in color melt it back and pull some nice clear coated stringers...
Sorry this was such a long, ridiculous, and borderline useless post....but in short one more use and vote for pulling points....
Also my lady friend and I have begun saving as soon as our wine bottle has $1200 in it u can expect a call from me Mr. Wonka...
