Nancy,

What is this: Blue Magic 12a TR 3 Resin Glaze - and where do you find it? I've asked before but didn't get an answer.


I don't have a 3 yo grandson to mess with things, but I wonder if my cats did it?
My wife said maybe the resident spook did it. (Yes we really do have a resident spirit that lives here.)

This explains it all. It was the spirit and she was a seamstress. If I ever linger, I'd want to play with the machine too.

If you're as lazy as I am, you can find it on Amazon.

I use Dollar Store baby oil for cleaning as it is cheap. Baby oil is really only light mineral oil plus
some fragrance. I have been know to oil a machine with it, too.
After all we all do want our babies' bottoms to smell sweet, don't we?

Donna- I spent a lot of brain cells trying to figure out the Singer number system- like, did-1 mean one thing, and -2 another, across the different models. The best I can figure, it does not. Singer named their machines with numbers. So, 99, 101, 15, 201, etc are the names of the models. Any numbers that come after a dash, like 15-91 is a Model 15, with the slight variations of a potted motor (for example). Some models were made longer than others. Some have better reputations than other, but for everyone has their particular favorites. Once the Machines began to have names ( touch and Sew) instead of numbers, it all sort of went bad. Once I made myself figure out what each machine I owned was, it got easier. I still go to the Sandman page when I get confused. The picture gallery at ISMACS is helpful, too. Hope this helps! Laura

Cathy,

Just so long as it isn't made of babies! But I just Googled baby oil and found all kinds of other stuff in it. Yuck?

Pat,

I guess I should have said to 'read the ingredient list and buy the stuff that is only mineral oil and fragrance".

BTW shame on you for spreading the rumor that baby oil is made from babies.

Laura,

The number after the dash is unique to each model series. In the 15 series the -88 is a treadle, the-89 is a hand-drank, the -90 is a belted motor, and the-91 is a potted motor. In the 201 series the -1 is a treadle, the -2 is a potted motor, the -3 is a belted motor, and the -4 is a hand-crank.
The 66 and 99 also have differences indicated by the dash number. I probably have some of that info, but would really have to dig to find it.
Yes, guys I do lose things and I'm not nearly as organized as you think.

I found Blue Magic TR3 Resin Glaze at major auto parts houses such as O'Reilly's, Autozone, etc. It is a premium car polish in a little can and does great work too.

Melinda,

Thanks. I've got an O'Reilly's fairly close by.
