Guy is a genius.

OF COURSE.

You take a RC gear and YOU ROLL IT to make the zimmeret.

Thats soooo simple.

Nice video, but there's nothing revoluntionary on there. That particular method for making zimmerit has been around for a while now. There are even a couple of A.M. companies that make zim tools similiar to that.

Maybe you didn't get my point??
In your initial post you seemed very excited that you had found a new zimmerit method.
My point was that it isn't anything new, and has been around long enough that the A.M. companies have picked up on it and some are marketing their own zimmerit tools based on the homemade RC gear type used by the gentleman in the video. I was not telling you you needed to go out and buy one.

Striker wheel on a Bic disposal lighter (Cricket?) makes a good roller, too.
Check one out next time you are at the Quickie Mart.
