I had the same problems with magnets before putting a ceramic tile piece on my platen. It immediately fixed the magnetic issue. It's stupid easy to clean up a flat surface.
We had a good day in the shop. We covered almost everything I wanted to get to. Hopefully it gets you going in the right direction. Please don't hesitate to call or text. We can always set up another play date as well. :-)
I use a rag and wd-40 to clean it up as it squished out. I'll watch it for about 5 minutes and then come back every 15 or so minutes. After an hourish I don't really get any more.
Should you ceracote a knife prior to handle scales, and will epoxy stick to ceracote if you do? Can you rough up ceracote with sand paper? I've never used the stuff. Thanks.
