John,
Thanks for the info and link!
I have a draw blade but have had trouble with the steel shavings it
creates getting stuck to the rather sticky surface of the polymer.
They don't just brush off the way they do with zinc or copper plates.
That's why I'm exploring other ways. happy though for any and all
suggestions :o)
Susan
