Welcome to Wacky Wednesday posts, where we get to be creative and post a humors, yet true anecdote or story from our travails...enjoy! This week's comes from an email sent between owners a few years back following a head installation:
1. When you are mixing the epoxy, you are sure you don't have/haven't made nearly enough and will invariably have to make a second batch. After starting on the first hole, you realize you have enough to patch at least two cannon ball holes at the waterline while sailing. Who knew? 2. Getting past mayonnaise is really, really difficult and annoying. Why can't it be as easy as getting past ketchup? Once you get peanut butter, though, all the pain was worth it. Well, maybe not bit you feel accomplished at epoxy now and it sounded good. (Think I made it up? Read the instructions on how to mix West System epoxy here: http://www.westsystem.com/ss/fillers-and-additives) 3. The rag is a last minute addition as you are running/walking very quickly so that your peanut butter doesn't harden before you use it..."oh (bleep)" followed by grabbing whatever looks disposable between where you mixed the stuff and the "project." At least the gloves were donned prior to the mixing and a rag managed to find its way under the rusty epoxy cans. 4. Is this the stuff they used to make the river of evil in Ghostbusters 2? Yes, I am sitting in the vicinity sniffing the fumes as I write. Seriously, it looks just like it. 5. The more artistic I try to become, the more of a mess I make and the worse the outcome looks. On a good note you can just wipe up everything on top with the little spreader stick, that got you into artistic trouble in the first place, and start over. This requires the use of much more epoxy, but still not enough to justify step one. 6. Anytime you try this with a cat around, it takes a forceful removing of the cat at least three times before they decide that you are evil and run off to find someone more pleasant to harass, I mean help.
