Page loading ... Please wait.
Patience is a virtue.

Job had patience.
Try to emulate the guy.

Everyone needs a mentor.

Pretend you're virtuous.
Wait...
Don't go THAT far.

Wait on this job with the patience of Job.

One Job leads to another...

Kinda hard to be a one-in-a-million sort of guy, with a million other Jobs around.

If you were Job, wouldn't you find it a bit taxing?

How could Job uniquely have all that patience... being surrounded by endless other Jobs who likely had a good share of it too.

After awhile, you would think that one Job would look pretty much like another.

Let me tell you that after awhile it does.
That's when you need more patience than job.

Seam roller:

Handy for rolling out stubborn seams. They come in two types. This one has a barrel curvature which is useful for rolling out serpentine cuts.

This narrower roller has a cylindrical sleeve. Physics says it will want to track in a straight path - which is good over large spans of straight cuts when used with the heavier canvas-type of coverings, but the hard edges will want to leave creases on lighter papers.

Don't overuse this tool. It's fun to use, but it's for getting joints to lay flat and even. Overuse will squeeze the glue out from where you need it most. And no glue = no stick = callback.

If that one seam won't stay put - if you have had to stretch and coax your vinyl into place, and it still wants to shrink back and open up a few minutes later, it's most likely just too wet.

Speed-dry that stubborn seam with a hair-dryer while rolling over it. Use a low heat setting - you don't want to discolour or melt the work.

Don't use a commercial paint-stripping gun. This 1500 watt-er is designed for just that - burning off old paints. And actually, why would you want to do that - except to re-engineer your chromosomes?
