    Today I Learned

    Today I learned, it's all too easy to make your spray lacquer finish run if you aren't extremely careful... Oops! Lesson learned the hard way. Just made myself a little bit more work than I had originally expected.

    Today I Learned

    For the most part 15 minutes is more than I normally do. Well, in terms of set aside time, but some days I'm rather active at work which helps.
