The recent and heated discussions on the correct way to sharpen a scraper have led me to ask a question of my own. The question is: how do you all deal with the metal dust turning your fingers black?

Sounds like my spring regimen! I usually wait for March though, Pac. NW.

Hey....that's antibacterial soap..........:)
My scrapers are so sharp even the bacteria cut themselves! I have to leave a radio on just to drown out the little buggers horrific screams.

I must have missed that thread. Is it still running?? It sounds like a fun one....

Though I think this message is adressed to dgreen, it is meant for all. First, let me applaud you all! Never before have I seen such a unified response from so many on Knots. It is truly impressive. I did notice one thing however, nobody advised on whether to use the LN soap or the LV variety. Certainly one must be better than the other in some regard. I thought I better check before I washed my hands using the wrong soap......Have a good night you all!
You can always sell you LN soap on eBay for what you paid for it....even after lots of use!
Perhaps I could even turn a profit on it by calling it vintage.....
But it still doesn't get your hands as clean as the Festool Power Soap. Of course the Festool Soap only works in conjuntion with the Festool Cleaning System.
Clearly you've never tried the EZ Smart soap and soap guide system. It works as well or better than the Festool soap/system at a better price point.
I find it amazing that none of the well informed advice provided herein addresses the need for caution when using dihydrogen monoxide! Doesn't anyone know how dangerous that stuff can be? It can be particullarly hazardous around electrical equipment. It's not usually a problem when used in conjunction with the cleaning agents mentioned, but it pays to be careful. ;>)Verne
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to cut it up and make something with it . . . what a waste!<!----><!----><!---->
I wash my hands? I never worry about it.
loki,
Are you scraping walnut?
A splash of clorox, then soap and water does the trick.
