I did just go ahead and buy more. It wasn't worth the headache. I did keep the mixed rivets. When people come over I let them try their hand at riveting on scrap metal and rivets from the box.

Is it just me or is the dog looking guilty? Was he chasing a mouse behind the rack, perhaps?

I'm with Ken W. I had a small spillage mishap early on and decided I would not hazard same in the future. I dedicated small plastic drawers accordingly, so a "flipover" meant minimal sorting. REALLY glad I did!

I did that with a gallon of JetFlex interior paint.

I can say that the water base of the JetFlex WR makes clean up much easier, you can hardly see the stain on the concrete floor any more...

I've done the paint thing too - but by dipping a spray gun in thinner with the air still connected, right beside an RC model that I had just applied a flawless top coat to, at 11pm. No need for details. I just looked at it, shut everything down and went to bed.

Sometimes I just log on to see if I am the only one who did something like drop all my, rivets, elect. terminals or whatever. Thanks to you all for making me feel at home.

And we wonder why it takes so man hours to build an airplane........

If those are the worst you've seen consider yourself lucky...

PS, the pics below are AFTER a few hours of 'sorting'. We finally just got to the point where we shoveled it in a box and now occasionally pick through it for random piece parts.

Cheers,

Can we order by XY coordinates on the photos?

Just be careful. If you mis-reference you could end up with a dog or a hat.

So what category do you all use in Kitlog to account for the time. . .
