Holding Bone
NSBrown:
Last night I needed to hold a small bone disk while I scrimshawed on it. I thought about using Bondo to hold it down while I worked...the same way I use Bondo to hold patchboxes when I engrave them. But I worried about the heat required to release the disk. so I ended up taping it down with good ol' duct tape. It worked well enough, but I'm still wondering about Bondo or other good alternatives for holding small heat-sensitive objects.
Suggestions.

Double stick tape works OK for some applications. The best is a tape made by 3M that is used for affixing vinyl side moldings to your car. Found at auto body supply houses and perhaps Autozone or others.

Place it on a board that will fit in you vice and tap in 3 or 4 brass brads, or such, around it to hold it down.

Don't gem stone workers use a wax to hold their small piece while working on them? Wonder what the wax is?

try making a Bord with a V shape of 2 peisec of brass or wood about a 1/4 in think the wider the V and the longer you make it the wider i variety of sizes you can hold
