Acrylic Masking and Pin's ?'s

[RichT]

Advice: When removing stubborn paper masking from acrylic sheets, make it damp first. Comes off much easier.

Questions: Is there anyway to reduce the amount of static electricity when removing the plastic (cellophane like) masking? What a PITA.

Also, I've been using the thin E guitar string as pins when bonding. What are some of the things others are using?

Also, I've been using the thin E guitar string as pins when bonding. What are some of the things others are using? I use twist-ties for the larger wires, just strip off the paper. For thinner stuff, I use .009" malleable stainless wire, you can get it a Small Parts, Inc.
