General tips

Freeze your superglue. It keeps it from drying out

Superglue actually cures from moisture, so it’s weird to say “drying out” because it is very dry in the sealed tube.

no it won't

I just put it in the fridge, no need for freezing

Do you ever get any catastrophic leakage like from the cans getting warm and popping the lids off enough for them to seep badly all over your shelves? Makes sense that it would keep the solvents from evaporating out upwards.

I've got a small leakage right after storing the can upside down, but it usually stops after one day or so.
But my paint cans are not stored in a place where it gets very hot. So... I don't know

Works with tubes of caulk and all sorts of sealants as well.

Also wire nuts work great for covering an opened tube of caulk.

And if you need to discharge a capacitor, lay a gecko across the terminals to short it out.

if you do it yourself you don't need to pay someone to do it.

If you scuff a painted wall, you can hide the scuffmark by using paint that is the same color

buy many tools but don't use them so they don't wear out and you can't have any failed projects and you save money on materials and your children (SIKE) can sell the tools later

I'm much happier being mad at myself for being lazy and cutting corners than I am being mad about someone I paid thousands of dollars to be lazy and cut corners.

Protip- if you have shakey hands, take a shot or two before you stick a probe into a 480V contactor and bridge the 24V and a 277V leg and fry a bunch of stuff on the 24V control circuit.

Well the 480V stuff is fun as I’m learning. 120V residential is a little spark if you short something. 480V gives you a nice pop and welded those connectors to the contactor instantly. It makes you pay attention to where your leads and your hands are at.

Meanwhile there’s picrel. I’ll let somebody else go in that panel before I get airgapped to death
