SPY005 Sign Up List

[Grumpy]

Please put me down for 1 Black Logo 2.
I hope that I can get one.
I just read the email that you sent me.
Sorry I did not respond sooner.
I think this will be my favorite flashlight.

Data - be very careful about milling silicon. The Si dust, and its oxide are really bad for your health. Think about it as asbestos on steroids.

Really? I did not know that. I know pure silicone crystal is very bad but I did not know anything about silicone glue. Thanks for the heads up.

:sick2:

I think HarryN was talking about crystalline silicon, which powders into something like very fine sand and can cause silicosis if you breath it (the particles get in your lungs). Silicone rubber might give off fumes but that's something different.

Never mind Data - I was referring to silicon, not silicone / RTV. Sorry for the confusion.

Great! Bring mine too - no pressure.

HAve a nice trip at Shot Show

 

[Weep]

Man, this light makes me wish I had a need (and budget) for high class formal wear. It's beautiful! :huh:

 

[brightnorm]

The chrome head and switch knob are absolutely gorgeous, but I'm concerned about their scratch & ding vulnerability compared to the tougher HA III. Any recommendations for a protective coating or polish/filler?

Brightnorm.

 

[Data]

Chrome is a super hard plating that will not scratch easily. It will survive being in your pocket indefinitely. If you want the light to stay new looking just keep the SPY in its own pocket and put your other stuff in another.

Nothing I know of will protect flashlight from a fall to the concrete except a rubber sheath.

Do we really want to go there on a family forum?

 

[brightnorm]

Absolutely, unless you want a really big family :naughty:

or VERY quick juggling / hacky-sack reflexes.. i've saved many an item from serious damage by catching it with my foot... of course.. making the judgement call in the 0.3 seconds you have that it's best NOT to catch with your toes if it's over 3# in mass is a tricky one!

Data, please switch mine to black and I want to keep #11 as my number. Thanks.

[lrp]

Please put me down for one in natural, no logo. Thanks!

 

[russtang]

I would like one in black with logo 3 if possible. shipped to Alabama.

 

[Darell]

Wow. Did the ordering open back up?

 

[Data]

Wow. Did the ordering open back up?

No it did not. However, I intend to accommodate everybody that I can. As I have said I made some extra lights but they are almost completely gone. I did not anticipate this or I would have made more.

The people that signed up before the official close of the sign up period will defiantly get their lights and if there are leftovers the others will get a shot at them.

Cheers
Dave
