This gave me a "Safrut smile"... OK, I realise that this is not Ktav STaM, however it is interesting what happens when graphic/font Hebrew becomes too stylised. Case-in-point, a colleague and I were visiting the mayor's office in the Gaza Belt region of Shaar HaNegev (adjoining Sderot). He is new to reading Hebrew and pronounced the welcome sign as " brooning " or " broobing " (instead of the intended " brookhim ". I replied that he was more correct than the graphic designer, as the letter meant to be a " khaf " was closer to a halakhic "Nun" or "Bet", and had this been Ktav STaM, the letter would likely be considered pasul as a "Khaf".
Sanding Batim ie leather dust is OK.
ReplyDeleteThe paint is dangerous. Use outside or in a well ventilated area, and try to get a face mask if you can
Only thing I would add is to make sure you get a painting mask with a filter that keeps out fumes. A lot of masks are only rated for dust but you can get a painter's mask at any Home Depot in the US.
DeleteIs it dangerous to store the paint in a close tin which is itself in a closed plastic container - in ones house?
ReplyDeleteNo. If it's sealed it's ok. I would obviously keep out of reach of children
