    Ouch ... reminds me of what I did back in the 70's when I worked at a chrome shop ... I had inspected a 1970 Chevy front bumper that just had been flashed in the chrome tank and saw there were some slight burns on the ends I thought "I can fix this ... wont take but a few seconds" walked over to a big buffer didn't put on any gloves ... took some green rouge applied it to the wheel started to buff out the bumper and before I knew it the buffer wheel grabbed the bumper yanked it out of my hands and stuck it in the wall. I looked down and the tip of my middle finger was hanging off the end. When they took me to the hospital to get sewed up I noticed blood on my shirt ... when the bumper got yanked out of my hands it also sliced my side open ... needless to say ... I'm more cautious now.

    OK, cut it out guys! Just had dessert .... feeling queasy and my keyboard isn't liquid proof ...
    Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?
