I wonder how toxic it is to use a souldering iron on plastic.

Das Bus · Post by **Das Bus** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 7:31 am

It's not that bad, 'cause the soldering iron goes right through the plastic like butter. Just try not to breathe it in.

I've never tried but I reckon the fumes could be evil. I used to work in a plastics factory on the dies adjusting the chrome rollers and the fumes were terrible.

I used my soldering iron to poke holes through plastic sign board and it worked great. Just had to take a break every once in awhile.

We bought one of those from a roadside sale years ago. We brought it home, hung it outside, and had it ripped off a few days later !!
Pretty though............

self burning is part of a vast right wing erotic conspiracy....

we used to stake road kill out on the ant beds and then stain the bones with tea and coffee and make beaded crystal hangings with them...very pretty, if you like that sort of thing...and who knew an armadillo had so very many parts!

when I was a kid, my cousin and I used to collect Japanese beetles and put them in a coffee can loaded with gasoline and then sacrifice them to this big rubber toy Saracen warrior guy we set up as the god of dead beetles. The smoke was awful.

I donâ€™t know, Iâ€™ve heard you encourage your youngest daughter to play with fire, you buy her white gas, she soaks stuff in it lights it on fire and swirls it around over her head. Not as direct as putting a sock over a little kitty's head , but I think most people would look at you strangely if they knew what you did to amuse yourself,....... course I think sheâ€™s the coolest cat too

Wow
Really cool fish.

you turned your cat into a sock puppet? Hmmmmmm...

Okay, we've got this little ant problem at work, and it's in the window at the slap table. This also happens to be where we keep the screens we cook the pizzas on. When I come on first thing in the morning, sometimes there'll be a lot of them. I call this "movement in the treeline" and immediately grab a stack of screens and put them on the conveyor into the oven. As the screens slowly slide into the oven you see them moving faster trying to get away from the heat. Okay so it's mostly coz I need to clean the screens, and they can't be washed (ruins the season and makes the pies stick). But watching the little buggers run around so frantically is bizzarely fascinating.

You could probably post videos of that on utube. PETA would be all over it.

oneeyeddick · Post by **oneeyeddick** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 12:45 am

Dissecting roadkill as a youngster for crafts and purposly torturing insects for entertainment are things thet most serial killers did in thier youth also.
You people may need some therapy by the sounds of it. Personally, I played frog basesball as a big pastime, 10 years before Beavis and butthead even existed. Also,several times, I got fingered as the guy who started the fire that "got out of hand" and burned something down before I even turned 9.

cowboyangel · Post by **cowboyangel** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 11:09 am

what makes us different from the serial killers is that we did it because it was cool. They did it to get back at grandpa or dad or Father Mulligan or something.

Yes PETA would really like it... You do mean People Eating Tasty Animals don't you??

dude, the other day somebody practically offered to call child protective services for me when i told them i had let my kid hold fire in her hand when doing a contact fire show for a kid party at a friend's house...what if she got burned, blah blah blah, child abuse, blah. whatever. the kid loved it, nobody put an eye out, and it freaked her dad out immensely, all good things on my radar ;) go ahead, play with fire. let's face it, sooner or later you're going to get burned either way...might as well have some fun.

Post by **mdmf007** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 4:07 pm

What kid hasnt played with fire? I am sure you stressed the importance of safety and that your a professional. NO SOLO ACTS YOUGSTERS, oher than that - I say burn on.

later

regynalonglank · Post by **regynalonglank** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 5:24 pm

yeah, no chance she'd even think about doing it on her own, she has a healthy respect for the flame. but i do get super cool five year old mom points for spinning fire :) and no, i'm not into taking risks with my kid just for kicks, i felt it was safe. ok, a little nutty, i'll give em that. but safe enough for this parent to make a choice about her own kid. and if her father had seriously objected i would not have done it, for reals. dang, how's this for thread drift :) good thing fishy's otherwise occupied!

So, children don't count as craft projects, huh?

I think I got my son interested in Thermite....

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 9:07 pm

I was just teasing pinemom, if that wasnâ€™t apparent, I think with all the precautions, done in an almost ritualistic way complete with the understanding that a safety can spot a spinner starting themselves on fire before the spinner can instills a greater respect for fire than most kids have,... that and sitting around as people show each other their burn scares .
