Yup, me too. I find them to be pretty useful in other ways also. If the paint is lacquer then I dip them in a 50/50 mix of distilled water and 91% alcohol.Orso wrote: ↑Tue Dec 27, 2022 3:00 pm Tamiya has tiny Q-tips.

Well, no suggestions after the fact. It just looks like this time you are screwed. Remember, there are no mistakes, only lessons. The lessons will continue until they are learned.

The general rule of thumb that I learned from someone(could have been Derek) is drill to a depth of twice the diameter of the bit and pull it out to clear the chips. I've used soap to drive in screw in hardwood and it is a great lub. On t...
