I think this is a first
I am in the final stages of building my Sig SE and have only glued my fingers to a board once YAHHHHHHHH!!! Well while I'm epoxying the tail feathers on I'm sitting there holding the tail straight and pick up my leg. I look down to see that the board I was using to mix the epoxy on is stuck to my jeans. AHHHHHHHHH. Oh well guess these are my building jeans now. Thankfully it wasn't my leg.

RE: I think this is a first
Sounds like some more Rites of Passage...
Besides, it's not really YOUR airplane unless there's a little of YOU built into it, right? My wife (and coach) forcibly introduced me to 'building clothes' several years ago. Clothes for going to work last LOTS longer now! |
RE: I think this is a first
I was walking around with a half full bottle of CA stuck to the side of my shoe last night. Does that count?

RE: I think this is a first
I remeber once, while glueing on teh skins to a foam wing, that I inadvertedly put my head down low enough to get stuck in teh pile of mixed epoxy. So, while teh epoxy'd wings cured, I started to pull curing eopxy out of my hair. continued for about two weeks!

My dog likes to come down to my shop and hang out when I am building. The other week, she was sniffing around and got a piece of balsa that I used to wipe off CA on a wing joint stuck to her. She was not happy, kept running around in circles trying to get it off. Wife was not happy.

I'd love to chime in on this topic, but right now my head is glued to the desk, and it's hard to type like this.

I think all my planes have a little piece of my skin stuck somewhere on them.

My third finger on my left hand is now starting to get its normal colour back after trying to stick some transparent yellow profilm to it on tuesday night.

RE: I think this is a first
A few nights ago my wife brought a vcr tape down to me to see if I could fix it. my son broke the protective cover off the front. I grabbed my trusty bottle of thin CA. The nozzle was clogged. I gave it a good squeeze and it opened up. All was well. I bent down over the tape so I could see exactly what and where the glue was needed. I began to feel some water dripping on my head. I pulled the drywall off of the ceiling to see where the water was coming from and found nothing. I went to wipe the "water" off of my head and the rag stuck to my hair. Turns out that when I squeezed the bottle to unclog it, a large amount of CA shot up onto the ceiling. Nuff said.

RE: I think this is a first
Yeah. I'll never make that mistake again.

RE: I think this is a first
And NEVER point the bottle at you and squeeze it to find out if it's clogged or not. :D
