    Gamma Seal lid is one tough cookie

    Last night I found myself in a frustrating situation when I flew my new quadcopter into a tree. It was about 30 feet up and I had no way of getting it down, so I grabbed the first thing I found and threw it at it. That thing happened to be a gamma seal lid. I'm not what you would call...

    Nitrile Glove Smell

    The last couple times I detailed my hands got a really bad smell from wearing the nitrile gloves for a long time. It's like a mix of rubber, garlic, and ass.

    Lake Country Chart Inconsistencies

    I'm comparing pad descriptions from different sources. They're all similar, but there are strange differences, sometimes within the same website. For instance, for the 4 inch gray LC CCS pad, AutoGeek recommends "Use with machine glaze or finishing polish." Then for the 5.5 inch version of the...

At my store it was only $2. Don't buy the thing at office max/depot, it's like 5 or 6 bucks there. Unfortunately, the smaller...
