Today was not my day at all, really...
I had to do two things outside my work, fistly
taking my wife to her regular gathering with friends,
and secondly I had to go to the department to deliver
bootsholders, taking up so much of my time. However,
I did the first of penetration coatings with the
few items, about ten of them.
Normally, I would not do that as it will be a lot of
matting material wasted in the end. However, I have
rather a lot of others from my earlier work,
just waiting for going mat. So, I am OK.

With above you see that the cramps are all sitting upright.
This is meant to reduce the amount of shearing during
solidification stage.
It worked alright with all but one, as you see below.

Can you see that the one nearest to you has a clear shear?
I will illustrate this with the next schematics.

With A, there is a shear between yellow and purple bars.
They are at an angle. Ideally, they should be paralell.
When this happens thuseful area is limited to that
surrounded by the dotted lines, with the whole thing becoming
pathetically narrow...jus as in B's red lines.
C is also showing the shear looking at the dead end of the stems.
With something like this you have two options. One, thow it away and
forget about it, or p@ut up with the narrow piece and give it away,
if somebody wants it.

At the department sotore I was reminded that the original shape
of the stem was something like the one at the bottom. They,
however, kindly accepted the blunted version.
I got, in return, JPY 7,000 for 10 of them, fine, for
my cigarettes and other smaller expenditures...

This is the brush hunger as of this morning and it is nearly
ready for delivering. This will fetch another JPY 2,000, and
that is fine, too...
The department store told me that with the new addition of a
shoes shop I will be expected to be very busy, making bootsholders
for them before and after Christmas, so be it. It might fetch me
a lot of money, it they are right.
Withint the next few days I will be moving to my mountain
cottage and reparing a shack, etc. I will be there for about
10 days, during which my logging will be suspended.
I have no PC at the cottage... and it is not my intention to
install one there. It will be too much of a fixed cost when
we stay there only for a month/year altogether...
