Lessons to live by ...or NOT!

[Katman]

Lesson #1 when using aircraft paint stripper DO NOT wear shorts and a sleeveless shirt and try to spray it when its windy. The burns really really hurt bad. This learning by experience thing is startin to get kinda costly.

Ouch. I use regular paint thinner and it burns i bet thats terrible.

I wear golves, do it outside, and keep a hose within arms reach. I got lax a few times when it was really hot, and was shirtless. It makes you think about what you just did.

I scored some old disposable plastic aprons that I wear. I look like an idiot but thats better than chemical burns!!

i always kept a bucket of water nearby, spray outside and then dip the hands/arms in it after sprays

I also found out not to hold something with your bare knees when using a brass wire wheel in the drill.... :shock: :roll:

Always remember a shop teacher in high school after a fairly recent loss of digits, hold up his hand with the remaining thumb, ring finger and pinky and starting the safety speech with " Three things you don't do with a table saw ...."

did the same thing with some citrus degreaser cleaning the engine in the ranchero when it was windy the other day. two things i learned 1. that yea it burns esspecially in the eyes, and 2. it may smell like citrus but it sure don't TASTE like it.
