Reason #18 that I should not become a mechanic
Epoxy EVERYWHERE....

I should take a picture to show, because it's frickin' hilarious :-) I'm slowly cleaning up my motorcycle from my accident last year (stupid dumbass turned in front of me, saw me, and stopped dead in his tracks on a rainy day).

Anyways, I'm piecing together parts of the bike that I can still use, including the plastics. This was a fairly easy job, putting epoxy on both edges, and holding it in place for 3 minutes while it dries. Ended up with epoxy all over both pieces :-)

I'm going to have to get out my sandpaper...

1. Reminds me of the time I tried to epoxy some pieces together
I was working outside and after I applied the epoxy to both pieces a gust of wind blew one piece out of my hands. I grabbed at it and got both pieces stuck to my hands with epoxy all over everything. Took me all weekend to get the epoxy off my skin.

I think there's a word for us...
