Default RE: Pay It Forward Build Thread!! Sig LT-40 build

Another thing to consider when pushing yourself to build when you are tired is injury . I stayed up tonight to get some more covering done. I got a little groggy and consequently careless. I keep my trim iron very hot, about 275-300 degrees as I find that when I need it I am stretching or shrinking. Anyhow, I now have a nice 1" long blister where I layed my thumb on it while trying to get at a hard to reach spot []. We often see the posts about not flying alone for safety reasons, as well as other flying related saftey posts. I am here to tell ya to be careful during your building to. My last build I slipped with that dang ol' slot cutter and put a nice gash in my finger in a split second. This time I am cutting slots before covering to reduce the danger of slipping on the smooth covering.

Nite all,
Patrick
