what would be your best solution for cutting when it is too cold to sit outside and grind or cut? I agree it is best to be in a well ventilated are but that is not an option most days in the Midwest.
My best solution is to dress warmly and go outside anyway. The porcelain dust is ultra fine and it will coat everything around you if you work indoors. Even when you wear a mask while cutting, there will still be dust in the air indoors (and all over your table) and you really don't want to be breathing that in for days. Here in Kentucky, we've had our fair share of cold weather this winter, and I've been out in the snow several times, cutting as quickly as I could. Please don't do this indoors if at all possible :)
@ I got a figurine from the thrift store and it has glued pieces that I want to remove. I’m not sure what type of glue. I’ve cut, chipped, used rubbing alcohol, and heat but it’s not budging.
Thank you, I'm glad you're finding my videos helpful! Bow ties can be attached in different ways on different pieces. If it happens to be glued on (rather than cast) you can use the chisel technique I shared in this video: ua-cam.com/video/oGBzi65GYOY/v-deo.html I was able to do this for the bow tie on my Bandit piece, which you can see here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsOz1DimCECa8 If your particular tie is cast, though, grinding it down might be best. Let me know what exact piece you're working on... maybe I have one and can look closely at it for you! (You can reply here or email me a photo at chica@chciaandjo.com if you prefer)
I would love a tutorial on the extra "sticker" like details that you put on
I already have a video for the waterslide decals. You can see it here: ua-cam.com/video/1sMEW3C3pv4/v-deo.html
@chicaandjo Thanks so much!

Is there a way to remove glue without a dremel?
Hard for me to answer without knowing what kind of glue it is. Did you try chipping it off?

@@worriedmochi hmm... those are all good ideas, I'm sorry to hear they didn't work. I'm not sure what else to suggest!
I am loving your videos by chance do you know how to remove a bow tie? Should i just file it down? I wish i could upload a picture.
