Your not the only one. I was over Numbskulls the night before last. He looks like he will need therapy after getting everything done. 
I repainted my contest submission plug 4 times. I wanted to kill my airbrush.  
I'm better now.  |
Why even try.........

You are not the only one, In the last 2 weeks I have turned my barn into my "man cave", complete w/ lathe, radial drill press, table saw, band saw & router table. I had to build a workbench & then a spinner. I wish I had found this web site a few weeks earlier. I am in the process of trying to finish about 20 good quality plugs (have a fair amount of screwups also). Time is ticking, now its time to tie some bucktails. I wish you could speed up the drying process of the epoxy.
I can't wait to meet all the good people & see the great plugs & even trade some of my new babys. See you @ PLUGFEST!!!!

Lol.... I've been doing the same thing without cutting corners and sacrificing the end result. Just taking my time while being under the gun. Whatever gets completed gets done. I have a feeling tonight is going to be a late night in the cave.  |

Probably did 100 plugs in the last 3 weeks. My spinner has been running non stop. Donations, swaps, and promises. Plenty to assemble and tails to do yet. Plus I got a small swap due in March that I have not even started yet.

Thanks Scott i kept it under the faucet and ran hot water on the botlle
i'm still at work so i won't know if it worked until i get home later.Looked like it was a snowball inside the bottle and started melting when the warm water started to heat up the bottle.

Scott, I bet you did those 200 in less time that it takes me to mark the ends. |
