Can we use the hobby blades in surgical knife handle and vice versa?

You can use the 11 blades in a No 3 surgical knife handle .
Also the surgical number ones are much thinner material and hence eminently suited to much more delicate work and I prefer these over the No 11 hobby blades which are stiffer and thicker material.

If you go around in a good stationery shop you may be able to source Olfa brand handles and blades these are again superb equipment and easily availble.

But as suggested by others you can start with the 11 blade and No 3 handle

Thanks
 

xxkrishxx,

Is it just me or have any others called you a question bank 

One can develope his knowledge by asking questions..I'm searching the answers by myself and from others too..If u take a kid it'll ask u so many questions to know about anything..I'm also like a kid's stage in rc world..

Just inquisitive, xxxkrishxxx, how old are you?

Don't take it the wrong way, I meant no offense, just a bit curious/amused since I have seen this in multiple threads.

I'm 23 year young kid..no pbs rotor :-)

xxxkrishxxx,

Hey Guys, can anyone guide regarding "Balsa Cement"? Does it have a generic name? Though I have built many Balsa gliders, I always used what came with the box. Now need to buy it besides the kit. Any pointers??

"Balsa Cement" is basically a Nitro Cellulose adhesive. Available under the label "Quickfix" and possibly more.

Please note that this attacks plastics.

This is the reason why I have included a tube of Quickfix with every balsa glider kit that I have sold. With the next lot, I also want to include some plasticene, but I am not able to procure it in Guwahati.

VC sir platicine is nothing but modelling clay.....(Play douh)   .......u can use puteen also for that....purpose

surgical blades are very sharp and dull after a single use. They are held securely enough. After all the stakes are far higher when they are used to the intended purpose.
The best option is to buy a small and a large hobby knife at the nearby staitionary store. they will last much longer and work as well. when you need a really sharp edge, snap of the tip.

Never knew that with some xp into balsa gliders and aeromodelling these models can be prepared at home , using budget tools (without lasers and all)

this was a very helpful post...i believe we have almost everything sorted out here....all one needs is to search and study....
