& so todays lesson is..........

 

"Don't ever spray Tetrosyl Stone Chip over the top of Chasis black!!"

 

Otherwise you might find all the time, effort and money that you've just invested in the layers of etch primer, zinc primer & chasis black beneath, are peeling away in a gooey mess before your eyes!!

 

Just another painfull, stupid & costly disaster that I thought I'd put myself through, so that you don't have to!!

Blame it on the etch primer, its a bugger for reacting with other products.

if it makes you feel better a scaffold plank dropped on my toe today and i am sitting here know with a throbbing big toe and watching it go black. lesson learnt like my dad says i told you to get some boots!

Remember the old Hollywood saying of "never work with animals or children"?

Today (and most days) I worked with animals who behave like children!

...or was it the other way around?

I was trying to remove the plastic cover behind the door catch and slipped with the screwdriver putting a lovely little dent from the inside out on my freshly painted quarter pannel the other day. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!

[ToM 2012]

Don't ever slip with a screwdriver or it can get nasty like me sticking one in my eyeball and almost loosing an eye I learnt from that one.

My lesson of the day was that doctors must get some incredibly painful scratches because when he stuck the needle into my spine he said I would feel a sharp scratch. ***##*!!!!****'***!*!*! some scratch that was. I also learnt that doctors time is different to ours - when after two minutes he said he was about halfway done, two minutes is apparently half of ten. (But not complaining as they have been brilliant and fitted me in at short notice and will save me a hell of a lot of pain in the near future, brilliant NHS once again).

I am getting a reaction with the etch primer and seam sealer at the moment

 

The seam sealer has wrinkled up so now I need to pick it off and try again!!!!

[Steve220]

This is why i use rust bullet as a product as it doesn't react with anything!

Did you allow each product to fully dry out before applying the next?

 

Some of them can take months in damp conditions to fully cure.

Errr no!! I just applied each product a day apart, which could therefore be the problem Batman!!

The "sharp scratch" phrase is just a substitute for what they really want to say, which is something like "here comes a prick with a needle". Trust me though, once you've uttered those words once and the patient either falls about laughing, or makes some wise ass remark about calling yourself a "pri*k with a needle", you soon tend to adopt the "sharp scratch" phrase instead.

I realise it's just a standard remark to try and put you at your ease. I don't suppose the truth would have helped -"be prepared for ten minutes of excruciating pain and the weirdest sensation you will have as I poke a needle into a small hole in your spine and move it about a lot, if you thought the ones in your shoulder and other bits were bad, you ain't seen nothing yet"

But then the fact they have to go through the procedure in great detail doesn't help. I am one of those people who is prepared to trust the doctor as they know what they are doing so I don't need to. By all means discuss the risks with me but the intricate detail doesn't help. I appreciate they have to do it but for me its not helpful, I know roughly what will happen and that's too much!

But on the other hand, boy I am glad I had it done. I went from covering 100m in about five minutes minimum to walking freely with low pain in just a few hours and has the first decent nights sleep in weeks. As I have said before, and will no doubt say again, thank god for the NHS. People will only realise how good it is when it's gone.

Tell me about it. Crap at 42 though, had twelve years of it now and it gets on your nerves sometimes. Had needles shoved in more places than I can remember now. Fingers are the worst but the spine was a close second. But at least we live in an age where there is stuff they can do. I take seven different tablets a day, plus self injections, then a load of stuff on top. If it wasn't for the NHS a I would be in a rough state by now. Blooming sore today though.

Hell, so sorry to hear that, my apologies for the comment, I did not realise you were in that much pain. I agree totally about the NHS system in this country.

There are too many folk who misuse it, heavy drinkers, drug users etc which, leaves less time and money to concentrate on more serious illnesses. 

My daughter is a qualified dispenser at a large chemists and she stated to me that on an average day she sees six drug addicts who take methadone under her supervision, and this is in the Lake District !!!.

I said i would happily swap it for cyanide if i got the chance, they have a choice of which road to take, you did not.

I do hope you maintain a stable condition in the future.

 

Kind regards
