Looks like a nice hike. I’ve been doing much of the same here and avoiding the www. for the past week or two. I think RBG tried to hang on until we (hopefully) have a new President. May she rest in peace.
I have a cheap set of fine dental picks from Harbor Freight I use to clean stubborn type slugs. They can scratch so great care must be used to dislodge hard ink and dirt. Then scrub the slugs with denatured alcohol. I use MEK and Acetone, but hey are not only hazardous without chemical gloves and a proper filtered respirator, they damage rubber and paint.
Thanks for the advice. I better be careful with chemicals in the small RV space. I’m applying minerals spirits with a tooth brush for now, but much of the uneven marks has to do with dirty segments. I’m typing too hard to make a good imprint, which is also risky due to the fairly hard platen.
I’m no longer capable of making political predictions. Now I’m simply gripping—white knuckled— the bar on the roller coaster.
