OK, I went out to try your method, and didn't get much to come off. Do
you have any pictures showing exactly how this method is applied?

Hah!

Hey, your mommy can cut it off with her tongue, I bet. Or just drool
on it and let the acid work. Whoever raised you certainly didn't teach
you to hide your feminine cattiness.

Who's sadder, a person who never owned a router before and has to
ask basic questions or a guy who's so insanely hypercritical, he can't
handle a question without working his own insecurities out in front of
God, the world and everybody?

Keep it up, mommy will spank you. Again.

You're supposed to take that stuff Off?

Who are you kidding? A VA warranty doesn't extend past the cash register.

I was in Home Depot looking for a 5mm tap tonight. They didn't even have a
VA tap. Now that's sad.

Fortunately for me, there's a Production Tool close enough to walk to ...
which is precisely what I intend to do tomorrow afternoon.

This is either a troll, or you lead a very sad life. When you go
to a Chinese resturaunt, and get chopsticks in a little paper package,
do you have to ask the waitress/waiter how to get them out?

Are you allowed to carry a pocket knife? What I do is just peel
off a strip with MY pocket knife, and then pull the whole thing off with
my fingers. Safest way? Most efficient way? Maybe not for you, but it
is for me. Oh yeah, I figured that out all on my own, about 2 seconds
after the first time I saw it.

Or, I suppose you could just leave it on, and let it wear off
during use.

If it can't kill you, it ain't a sport.

Perhaps there's an 800 number you can call for assistance.

Make sure you do NOT have the bit installed in a plugged-in router if
you attempt this method.

Does everyone else see that his question is repeated as an answer, or is it
just me?
If its not me, what causes that?
If it is me, what causes that?

Anyhow, if it doesn't come off easily, I score it with a box cutter. Once
you get a little going, everything else follows.

Yes, unless its a "Vermont America" bit in which case removing the
coating voids the warranty.

Does that cut down on the Godawful smell when you first use the bit?

Yeah, and all those sealed plastic bags, how do you get them open also? LOL

Pee it off.

Won't the acid corrode it?
