Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep my LN planes from making such a mess of my hands?
This is after a few (too many) hours of using my 60 1/2R:
At first, I thought it was the paint coming off the top of the plane, so the other night I took the plane apart, soaked the base in lacquer thinners, and stripped off all the paint from the outer edges. That didn't help...
Once I realized it was the brass that was tarnishing my hand, I tried to wax the brass. All that did was make a different colored mess in my hand:
So, is this a problems others have? Short of shooting the brass with lacquer, which I'm not excited to do, does anyone have any suggestions/ideas? Or is this just an added benefit of "dragging my knuckles"...
Thanks...
