TonyS Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hi Chaps, Just a quick pointer that you might find useful - particularly if you build / fly foam models ( though it has many uses). I found a perfectly clear packing tape (like the brown super sticky stuff for sealing cardboard boxes etc) which I've found a gazillion uses for - great stuff to have around. You get it at Staples... The only thing is, it's almost impossible to cut a piece without it picking up a fingerprint...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Nice spot Tony, I've been using greenhouse glazing tape for depron repairs, but it's a a bit heavy-duty, probably double the thickness of parcel tape. My Wildfly must have just about doubled in weight over it's two year lifespan. Time for a trip to Staples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got loads -78s even Well Myron, it pays to be careful... who knows what I might be driven to in the future..... Throttling Simon Cowell comes to mind. Just walked in on the other half watching X Idol or Pop Factor or somesuch nonsense. There was some pre-pubescent stick thin pair of eyelashes on legs gyrating in front of a bunch of chaps that looked like they had St Vitus Dance (or needed worming). She was supposedly singing though even to my untrained ears she was a flat as the Fens and, with absolutely no irony in their voices, the judges proclaimed that she "could be the next No 1". In fairness, they didn't say No 1 what. Speaking of records, back in the good old days, that young lassie would be lucky to be packing records let alone having someone suggest she be on one.. So I really should be careful with the fingerprints... TonyS (hovering btw Angry Young Man and Grumpy Old Git) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyS Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Myron, I've never heard you play.... or sing... but perhaps we should all be glad of the complexities of posting video.. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
