I actually don't really know what the big deal is with Lie Nielson. I have a few but in honesty they are not as good as my Ashley Iles chisels and gouges. Or, in that regards my Henry Taylors.

I use the 3M films from WH (the best I've encountered) and have never found a problem laying them onto sheet glass.

Video review of it here<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhW8D_AQ2o<br />Also got a Sweetheart no4 and the same goes for that too.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Danger Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493636024799695957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069163.post-87832389221134624402013-02-15T01:08:06.415+00:002013-02-15T01:08:06.415+00:00Hi Alf -

The mixed reviews probably had something to do with it.<br /><br />Interesting that you like the LV diamond film. I have the kit but haven't tried it out yet but now I probably will have a go as my marples need it.patrick andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15587752566557612303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069163.post-89586160729062877952013-02-14T14:52:44.585+00:002013-02-14T14:52:44.585+00:00Well done!
