GOOP is my personal favorite.

the Magilla On Gorilla! just played with CLEAR Gorilla Glue.... Sets up faster than the regular stuff, which is nice. dries kinda whitish, like "squeeze out" on Elmer's White Glue. HOT TIP: after dispensing, wipe tip with a DRY rag and squeeze air out of bottle before capping....this stuff is air an...

Although I failed to land a ticket in today's scramble I DO have designs on attending this year after having taken a year off...with that in mind I am reviving the thread about that indispensable gluey miracle, GOOP adhesive. Also known as Shoe Goo, it is marketed in different formulations for RV re...

I'm planing to do a design for 200 dog tags and feedback would be much appreciated. Option One is, hands-down, a KNOCKOUT- I LOVE t...

.....I can't help it! I NEVER learn! But it DOES speak to the level of enthusiasm I always feel. Although I could have posted this to the General Discussion list if I REALLY wanted the greatest possible number of responses, Q&A is my home turf from wayyyy back....(BTW- GOOP Adhesive is good- get som...

Well Done, Everyone! We tore the cover off of another Lakes Of Fire! Great effigy and subsequent burn thereof, some great big art, entertaining and interactive theme camps and ONE HELLUVA LOT OF PARTICIPATION. Our volunteers made this the best year EVER.

*swelling with pride*

As observed, GOOP is the Fritz Schnitzel for EL projects...but I'll vouch for the fishline method too- Three square knots keeps it from untying. UV light rapidly degrades fishline, zipstrips and other plasticky things, so put your knots where shade is maximal and check for MOOP. Although it costs mo...

Best art supply EVER? GOOP adhesive. Trust me!

Goodbye Ray. It was a great pleasure to have met you...sorry that the musical version of Fahrenheit 451 wasn't so good.

Regardless of what lights you choose I would suggest either a manual (on/off) system or timer so that you can fine-tune the turn-on time. With a maze, especially a two-story one, you want to make sure the lights are where they're needed starting in the shadowy dusk hour. Lots of LED lights are so da...

I love the Habitat For Humanity ReStore....but their dumpster is even better! For some reason they decided that the big spool of multistrand fiber optic cable that they threw in there wouldn't be something I'd drop good money for in the store....mine now, for free, and I get Landfill Hero points! I ...

Whew! Took a few minutes for that registration tab to appear....but the overall process didn't hurt much FWIW. And now I wait.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!


Rats. It WAS that one. Maybe there's a new one closer to Delta now!

I stopped and took pics on my trip to CO a few weeks ago.

Ah! THAT is the one that I remember....on the way to Eureka, west of Delta. Hard to imagine why someone would BOTHER cutting THAT one down!

Hey Robot land, you've driven I70 from Denver to Utah before? I agree, I70 is way prettier than I80, thats for sure! For those of us living in Denver, the extra cost and time makes I70 not worth it. But we can also shoot over to Grand Junction or Moab anytime we feel like. well, technically ....I w...

I as well plan to change my routing this year, but will do it on the way back as we have an extra week off after the burn, and the route you suggested is what we plan on using for the most part. Your trip on 50 last year inspired me to check it out this year. We plan on camping at either Great Basi...

I'm hungry now. Which I find profoundly disturbing.

You need to follow the directions then. E6000(which is WAY better than any of the GOOPs) is holding my girlfriend's workshoes together just fine, and she is a busy little waitress. It is holding her fave playa boots together also, many years and still... Goop is crap, go with E6000(avail at Walmart...

Plenty to see, lots of scenic overlooks. Eastbound time lapse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m4Xhd0qGVk WHHHEEEEEeeeeee! extra fun if you watch with your arms over your head! I laughed to also see a clip called "I-80 through Nebraska- Please Kill Me". I feel their pain, and even plan my trip so t...

Last year I took "The Loneliest Road", I-50, through Nevada and over to Reno to visit Twin City Surplus and load up on supplies instead of my traditional straight shot on '80...("go 2000 miles, turn right") I really liked the change of scenery and plan to take a bigger detour THIS year that swaps Wy...

A freind wanted a temp shade for her horse and insisted on using blue tarp. Lasted about 20 minutes before the grommets ripped out and the noise scarred the hell out of the horse. Good! If it had lasted much longer, she'd have needed to start digging a BIG hole. Blue tarp can kill grass in 20 minut...

That many years in Michigan.....maybe. Playa adds years to materials in a week's time! My 2x4's open up, my aluminum cyclops mask is too hot to handle.... Beers go from US to UK temp in about 30 seconds. (Babble Filter On) I'd suspect "vintage materials" out there, especially as a BurnPup. Start you...

Stuffed animals, tennis balls, beer cans etc will be of little comfort to the poor sap that falls on a stick of rebar and froths and gurgles through a sucking chest wound. It's a matter of time I suppose. Well the drunken sap should not have been messing around my tent like that. Wasn't something l...

If you're as fortunate as I am to have a surplus-tarp-Chinese tool-flea market type place nearby, look for precut rebar stakes with washer-loops welded on. Nice! Still need to be capped, and I also spraypaint all of my rebar stakes with a durable, high-visibility paint to help combat rust and make '...

One more thing about EL wire and other blinky rigs....Be certain that your battery packs are tightly secured. Playa dust likes to eat batteries, and morning condensation compounds the problem. Also, you do NOT want to MOOP batteries and battery-compartment covers onto the playa. Tape 'em up if you c...

I won't buy anything but the heavy silver tarps. Still have some that I brought to playa in '03 and they've held up perfectly, except for @#!! mice eating 'em back home over the winter. Of the regularly available tarps, I recommend these (the tarps, not the mice) over all. And use several small ones...

You can probably pick up a "utility belt" from Twin Cities Surplus in Reno. Gawd, I love that place.

My favorite is the Sea Fit Knot.....throw a few loops around it an' "sea 'fit holds".
