Jig Man Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 My work area has a butcher block top from a grocery store remodel job. I have about 1/3 of it covered with laminate. I do all of my plastic work in the laminate area. When I am done I have a gazillion bits of plastic all over the laminate. I refuse to pick them off bit by bit so I spray the area with WD-40, wipe it up with paper towels, then spray it with my dept finder cleaner (50/50 distilled water and isoprophyl alcohol) and dry it off. Anybody got a one step process that I could use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 i cover my work area with the brown paper towel like we had in school. i buy a case at a time from a friend. its cheap and one roll last forever. when its covered with plastic i wad up and throw out and replace. works great and stays put when you lay it out.

I wipe mine up with denatured alcohol and let it dry. Of course I keep my exhaust hood going the whole time too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't do this but it might work for you. I went to our local news paper printing place and they have tons of rolls that are too short for them to use but still have lots of paper on them. I got 3 rolls about 6 years ago and I still have a lot left and I use it often. I got thin and thick/stiff paper rolls. I have a roll on my workbench mounted on a 3/4" dowel that I just pull out and over the workbench when I need it. They just give it away. If they ask though tell them that your wife is a teacher and will use it for her class room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBK Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I use a thin piece of aluminum and lightly scrape all the drops into a pile. Then they go into the scrap bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
