"Ask Joe"
This time, Joe has a question for you
Hi all,
I would like to reverse our roles and ask you a question instead, a "Joe Asks" sort of thing.
Do you use a cylinder lubricant when engraving? If you do, what do you use. If you do not, why don't you use a lubricant?
Micropel has been on literally every cylinder I have ever engraved, but I have been hearing about some who don't use any lubricant. I want to know if you have any adverse effects on the cylinder surface without lube. At the same time, if you are a Micropel user, have you had any problems because of it.
Let me know at
I'll post the responses – sans name and company info – right here, so check back in. Oh, and don't forget to send your comments.
