I think that I have made every mistake possible. My 1500th (possibly) was in micro finishing. I found out that dry micro could be effectively thinned with rubbing alcohol, so I tried brushing it on. Worked great, BUT it left brush streaks that caused a great deal of sanding to remove. Finally, I realized that by using a squeegee while the micro is still wet I could remove the brush marks. What a difference. - almost no waste, little sanding, and a great finish. The alcohol evaporates rapidly and the micro really sticks.
1501 was trying to use plastic bolts to hold the blind nuts while floxing them to the aileron wood. Half of the bolts ended up stuck and broke. Finally I rolled a bolt in auto oil enveloped it in flox. After the flox hardened, the bolt came right out. Attaching the blind nots is now a snap.
