Disposable Scalpels

In the old days labs, schools and hospitals sterilized and reused things. Nowadays, as part of cost reduction efforts they throw them away. In keeping with this trend, it is no longer possible to get regular scalpels for modelers and home scientists to use for modeling and science projects. But we have gotten some good old fashioned scalpel type blades mounted in plastic handles. They are not sterile and not suitable for medical use. But with care, they are reusable in the home environment. And item for item they are cheaper than the old type, so you may be able to break even on the venture if you use them enough. We suggest that you stock up, however, so that you have a replacement handy if one breaks, the way you used to do with blades. 6" Long OA, they come with snap off blade shields.

Paint It Pink

You just can't have a naked vase or goblet or mirror around, can you? You have to draw swirls and dots and initials on everything. You'll love this 4 oz applicator of pink Window Color that lets you emboss glass or plexiglass. The paint is the consistency of white glue and takes hours to dry, but then it won't wash off. (Although it can, with some effort, be peeled off.) We're glad you're partial to pink, since that's all we have.

Petite Paintbrushes

They're shaped like perfect brushes for a housepainter, if the painter is only a foot-and-a-half tall. Our each is a pack of (3) brushes with 7/8" wide nylon bristles, metal ferrules and tubular-plastic handles that are each 3" long OA. Since you're not likely to need replacement brushes for your Automatic Ruler Brush for window frames (which is what they are) we vote for improvising a longer handle and painting away.
