Shade Tree Tool for applying gooey stuff
Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 3:56 pm
I know that nobody here would use Bondo or Auto Body filler paste on their Cub. It is certainly preferable to have an old world craftsman painstakingly beat out those little dings and bring the sheet metal back to "like new" condition. But suppose that you needed to apply a thin layer of JB Weld, or needed to repair the fiberglass on your 1956 Corvette.
To smooth out that gooey stuff, you need a flat, stiff but flexible, disposable and cheap tool. You can go to the autobody paint store and buy a fancy applicator but there is another source that has what you are looking for at the right price. Wait until the mailman delivers your nice new putty/gooey stuff applicator. And you don't even have to order it! Or pay for it!
When those credit card offers come in the mail, they often contain a dummy plastic credit card. These credit cards fit all the requirements, flat, stiff but flexible, disposable, and cheap. And it makes you look forward to junk mail. Sure, you could save these cards for scraping the windshield in the wintertime. But show the spouse how thrifty you can be when it comes to working on the Cub. Who knows, it might pay off in the long run...
