You had me at, "We used temperature sensitive tapes that turned color...". The light came on immediately. I wanted to weep and rend my garments.
Coming up with such a perfect answer is very cool. Ultimate simplicity makes it sheer friggin Genius. Tempilaq has been around forever. Many people already use it on knives. No one has ever thought to put some on the edge.
I'm anxious to read the rest of this, but the opening volley sounds absolutely brilliant.
I find Mr. Mike to be an irritating fellow at times. I get settled in my ways thinking I actually understand something and here he comes, with great alacrity and totally sans compunctions, perfectly willing to question the status quo and upset the apple cart all in the name of gaining a true understanding rather than peacefully going with the flow and blindly accepting comfortable old wives’ tales and accepted wisdom. Very annoying.
More than once I have had a conversation with him where he proposed ideas that I initially inwardly brushed off as misguided or goofy only to later, in a forehead slapping moment, grasp the significance and ramifications of his thinking. Mr. Mike’s ideas are well worth giving credence and due consideration.
Not trying to be obsequious, but rather simply to say, thanks Mike!
