Before Rodico, watchmakers used bread dough to clean watches? I saw this on Facebook today

Wow, that's a crazy history lesson for the day! What is rodico made of? I'm sure it's a google search away but I know the OF guys love to pass on knowledge. 😎

People working 14hr days and earning .50c/day…I wonder how much of that got eaten after cleaning out the watch 😲

Makes me wonder how they figured this out.

I mean, how did they think of this?

Dough balls are great for catfish bait, so one day a watchmaker went fishing and… well, the rest is obvious.

There are a myriad of things where I wonder exactly that…

A fine example of necessity being the mother of invention

Wait a minute: the baker starts with fresh dough, then bakes it to make bread. Then the watchmaker takes the bread, steams and reduces it to turn it back to dough. Why not skip the baking step?
