Re: My Top 10 Beginner Mistakes
I may be able to do a GS top ten mistake list.
1. When they say it expands, work in thin layers....they arn't lying to you.
2. When you realize you have not worked in thin layers and it is indeed expanding don't leave the room. It will take advantage of the fact that you are not there to expand some more.
3. When you come back from leaving the room and find that it has taken advantage of the fact that you were not in the room and expanded further...do not try to remove it.
4. If you see a great place to carve a cave into semi-dry GS foam resist the urge, put the knife down and back away. The inside of the foam will become the outside of the foam and it will expand further, and you will have no foam under your now over expanded foam.
5. On to silicone and coco fiber. After hydrating your coco, dry it well.
6. Once your coco is dry....dry it again. And then bake it in an oven for a while, and then threaten to set it on fire. Damp cocofiber doesn't stick to silicon.
7. If you have put black silicon on the inside of your tank, dont expect to be able to re-claim the tank for another purpose later. Whoever said wet silicone doesn't stick to dry silicone lied.
I know there are more. I have a mental block stopping me from remembering the rest I think.
