A few paint and panel tips for the noobies
Always do any and all repairs before you start sanding Make sure you 'rough up' any areas that need filler, knock the top off the filler before it goes rock hard Always sand with a block or board... Finger and palm marks show through the top coats.. Use a higher grade paper than you think, although it takes longer you dont leave any sanding marks Buy twice as much prepsol and tac rags to do the job, you can't clean the surface enough times When painting start with the roof, boot and bonnet..Leave the sides to last.. You don't want to drag the airline over your fresh paint Treat any plastics or rubber with an adhesive promoter before you apply the undercoat.

Better to make it as hard to read and as illogical as possible, you will look like a programming genius when other find your code too hard to fathom This way you, and only you, can ever be paid come back and repair each mistake. Look at how fortran programmers have maintained a lifetime income, a great lifestyle, and a healthy retirement repairing their own mistakes. : [edit] Yep Cobal programmers too, though most were able to retire very comfortably after Y2K.

Unijoints don't belong on rattle guns. However, when they do break, replace the bolt with a regular bolt, lock tite it in, grind the end off and wrap the bastard in black tape. She'll be right. Consider replacement when that breaks. |

It has been said that well written code is "self documenting" so that means I'm perfectly justified not putting any comments in my code. |
