      Yeah they do this sort of thing a lot but this was perhaps one of the most blatant. They seem to follow only a single factory/location. They obviously buy the coils premade from some OEM vendor... would have been nice to see that and then follow the process here, but that's now HiM works.
      In other videos they go into ridiculous detail of how one part is made, then later in the video they're like "Now they take the pre-made leg assembly (which until now hasn't been mentioned)..."

      Using your hands can eat away the coating amd make it stain permanently.
      That's why often certain areas of the boards are harder to erase or stay slightly stained. The hand wiping slowly and sometimes quickly kills the whiteboard.
      I also causes the marker ink to "miss" spots.

    • @hotaru8309
      @hotaru8309 4 года назад +3

      One of my teaches spent 8 years petitioning for a new white board with the last three years having an atrocious mess that you actually couldn't write on in spots because the ink wouldn't stay on and you'd be missing parts of whatever you wrote or drew. We successfully got a new whiteboard and she lectured us about using the dang eraser because we literally couldn't affird to replace it.
      I have to say it was amazing how smooth the new whiteboard was. Drawing on it was amazing and I used kleenex to erase just to be sure. I really didn't expect an uncontaminated board to be very different.
      She was actually a nice teacher and she did let us all make ridiculous giant complicated artwork on the new board as well as calligraphy. We got to take photos with our phones before erasing.

    I just have to comment. So everyone has to be so careful not to touch the porcelain steel sheet because it's pressure sensitive. Now lets go back to the beginning. It first comes in a tight roll that goes through a rolling press to straighten it before shearing it into sections. Then it goes through another rolling press to get all the air pockets out after being glued to the backer board. Then, in a stack of 50, goes into another press until the glue sets. All of this and apparently it's so sensitive that finger pressure will ruin it? Thank you for letting me get that off my chest.
