Default Thank You For the Advice and Punctures - Kinda Long

Well, I've been soaking up all the information I could regarding redoing the safety wires. The resources on this forum are terrific!

I have my little spool of SS safety wire, my little spinner, some assorted (Or is it sordid) pliers and off I went.

My job was to try and duplicate the job that was done by Steve and the boys in Reno. The problem was I have rarely safety-wired anything. When I raced I used gorilla snot to keep things from falling off.

I started the wire job and by the time I got to the last wheel, I was satisfied with my newly acquired skill. I also used up enough safety wire to redo a Boeing 747.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I was also bleeding all over my wheels.

Apparently, those sharp wire ends will slice and dice a hand pretty good. However, there was a good thing that came out of this, I found out that Exotic Metal polish also removes copious quantities of blood from newly polished wheels.

So the wheels are done and I am very happy. Now my problem is how do I explain to my bass guitar instructor tomorrow that the reason I'm behind in practicing is because I was wired.

I appreciate being on this forum...Just let me know if there is a thread somewhere that discusses the proper procedures for applying multiple bandaids to one's hands.
Regards, Ivan

The Gorilla Glue may help with "Blood Leakage" too!

Super glue for cuts, Mothers for aluminum.

I think there are quite a few of us suffering from electile dysfunction.

For the future, you can get safety wire pliers on ebay for .99 and up, shipping not included, bandaids not needed.
