Model Forum / General / Models / November 2007Enzo and the shiny teeth
I wear spectacles. Without them I am pretty much as blind as a bat. However, first thing in the morning, I don't really need them. Everything in my house stays in its proper place and to be honest I could wander around blindfolded if I needed to do. So, this morning I get up and wander into the bathroom. I have a bath then I dry myself and clean my teeth - all without really needing to see. The toothbrush is in the place where I left it. So is the toothpaste. No problem. Next is the Listerine mouthwash. I pick up the bottle, twist off the cap and - disaster strikes! For some odd reason I keep my bottle of Klear (aka Future) on the bathroom shelf, but at the other end pf the shelf from all my toiletries. Yesterday I must have had a brainstorm and, after dipping a canopy in it, put it down next to the mouthwash. Can you guess what happened? Don't try this at home, children... This stunt should only be attempted by an experienced idiot. But, to look on the bright side, at least I now have nice shiny teeth!  SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. > For some odd reason I keep my bottle of Klear (aka Future) on the bathroom > shelf, but at the other end pf the shelf from all my toiletries.

I've discovered a previously unsuspected property of the stuff. Not only is it a suitable for use as a gloss varnish to prevent decal silvering, for providing a polished appearance to model aircraft canopies and kitchen floors, but it is also an *excellent* emetic!

Pat > For some odd reason I keep my bottle of Klear (aka Future) on the bathroom > shelf That *is* odd. If you only use it for modelling, wouldn't it make more sense to store it with your other modelling materials? Or are they on the bathroom shelf too? At least washing your teeth with Future is probably better than washing it with liquid glue. :) Even if you use Future for its designed purpose of shiny floors, is the bathroom really a suitable place to store it? Bruce Melbourne, Australia >> For some odd reason I keep my bottle of Klear (aka Future) on the >> bathroom shelf [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Even if you use Future for its designed purpose of shiny floors, is > the bathroom really a suitable place to store it? Well, the bathroom is right next door to my workroom. As I mostly use acrylic paint, which is water soluble, I can clean my airbrush in the handbasin. (Yes, I *do* live alone! :-D ) As I do a bit of running, I also have a bottle of surgical spirit in the bathroom - ostensibly for dealing with blisters if I should get them. The surgical spirit can also be used as a cleaner for the airbrush. As it was already stored in the bathroom, it stayed there when I started to use it for modelling purposes as well, and the bottle of Future just seemed so happy stood next to it... Okay! Okay! I don't have a logical reason for it... ;-) SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese.

I was waiting to hear you picked up some hydrogen peroxide and got a radiant smile. :D Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > That took an unexpected turn.

My office is next to the front bathroom. Until we remodel the bathrooms the sinks get used for modeling purposes. The Future and other modeling chemicals are in the cabinet under the sink along with the sanding impliments. The sink's usefulness is on limited time, though. Being huge Disney fans with most of the house decorated with Disney everything the new sink and faucets are ready and waiting for the time and money for installation. Dark blue glass-lke enamel with Mickey icons throughout, brass Mickey icon faucet and handles. Really very attractive, but I'll miss "my" modeling sink :-( Tom > That took an unexpected turn.

I still wouldn't want to taste it straight. :{ Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > Yes, I know. There are toothpastes out there with it as an > ingredient. I still wouldn't want to taste it straight. I've used it straight in the three percent strength, it's not bad provided you don't hold it in your mouth for over around 15 seconds. I wouldn't recommend swallowing it though. God knows what would happen when it came into contact with stomach acid. ;-) Seeing your teeth bubbling after you open your mouth is a little odd, but a good follow-up rinsing with plain water removes any adverse effects.

Also, now when you *accidently* squirt CA glue into your mouth, it will not leave that nasty white, crusty layer.

Pat When I was in college, I was trying to work graveyard shift and go to school- I wake up, totally groggy, stumble to the bathroom, grab a tube and get within about half an inch of brushing my teeth with Ben Gay super heat muscle ointment. Fortunately, your nose is directly connected to your AAAAH! STOP module in the brain- I smelled that weird wintergreen smell and woke up in one dammed quick hurry- >I wear spectacles.

When the boy was about 4 I got a frantic call at work from the wife. It seems he was attracted to that smell and consumed a quantity of the contents at his grandmother's house (next door). I drove home, called the ambulance and we all got a ride in to the hospital. It took awhile but they finally got him to take some cherry-flavoured ipecac. Yeah, that was an ugly scene and another reason why pink is not one of my favourite colours. :( Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > Jim Atkins wrote: > > > When I was in college, I was trying to work graveyard shift and go to [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. ...I guess I'm just not orally fixated...I never imbibe anyting I can't see first. Worst I ever did on purpose was to put a staple though the center of the palm of my hand as a kid. It didn't seem to hurt the paper any...

Tears still come to Mom's eyes when she tells the story of the time she grabbed the Bengay thinking it was her Preperation H. You know that's gotta burn! Doug |
