*toddles off to get some urethane*

Bought the name-brand spray urethane. What a dog's breakfast that made of things... nozzle sprays a ultra-fine very low-density mist that is impossible to get anything but a fog coat anywhere more than 4" away from the surface.  A few strips where I did the side edges actually got a full single coat; they'll probably run. Everything else is patchy satin finish. :palm:

That shit wouldn't be good for anything except to spray one of those stoopit little tchotchke craft boxes... certainly not meant for furniture. What a waste of $11; 3/4 of the can floating in the air, nothing on the tabletop.... |O

And of course, now I'm done and can barely breathe with my lungs coated in urethane, there's a bluebottle fly buzzing around in here with it...

Could it be a bad connection? I had this with my Solartron 7075, it was working fine before I got it, when it arrived it would only display even numbers (original cal seals were intact), I reseated some connectors & have had no problems since.

Let me guess, it has the same blue IC sockets as mine for all the ribbon cables?   

Bloody things can't hold on to anything. I'm seriously tempted to replace them all with turned pin sockets. After a journey from the UK to Sweden, just about every cable had disconnected itself!

Any chance the socket has enuf empty space underneath for one of those 2mm wide mini zip-ties?

To quote the FUD masters, "there's something even better"*(and fits in  0.5mm, and, as expected, is aerospace rated):

Aka the 11th commandment.

I always thought that one was simply "Don't get caught."

No... the 11th commandment has always been "Thou shalt cover thine own ass." "Don't get caught." must be 12.  :-//

but wait... IT Dwagon sez 11th Commandment is:
   
"Thou shalt always have a recent backup!" :o

Not TE and may or may not qualify for jammie git territory but I think I got a hella deal.  I was at the Habitat for Humanity thrift store yesterday looking for anything of interest.  Found a Fellowes 79ci crosscut shredder for $10 USD.  I looked it up and it still current and sells for $289 USD on Amazon.  Additionally, Habitat gives 24 hour warranty on anything that plugs in so you can get a chance to see if it really works.  Works perfectly and much quieter than my older and smaller Fellowes shredder.  It can actually shred the quoted 16 pages also.  I gave Mrs GreyWoolfe my old one as I do much more shredding than she does.

Along those lines - the very embodiment of cleaning.

He was an old fashioned pilot cartoon character with a handlebar moustache who flew about cleaning things.



The products were OK but they didn't work quite like that.
