Can you believe it, the wife took my hair spray and used it on her hair. You would think that she would realize that is for my 3d printer. Hair spray does wonders when you spray the plate with it, the parts stick better for a better printed part. What's next I must ask, my finger nail polish?

Mine took one of my Emery board away...to use on her nails.

It's anarchy at every turn.

Its okay, guys- I got them all back for you. All those magnets I have removed from slot cars for over a decade were stacking up, and I talked my wife into making Christmas gifts now that we retired. Sneakily, I led her to websites with girly cutesy crap, epoxied the magnets to them, and poof! little packs of refrigerator magnets (that I hate on my fridge), were mailed off all over the world. More slot cars for me!!!

Hhahahahaha.... Every time I need the hairspray I find it in the bathroom. I don't use the stuff for anything other than scenery. I kind of enjoy the irony of it. But other things get a little more annoying. Especially when I spend ages looking for my pinion press or hex driver only to discover it on his worktable in the garage. I've taken to buying a second set of all of the tools, but it makes life a little expensive.

At last. A guy who takes his slot car wife's tools. I never thought that one would reverse itself. Good for you, Lynne. Or "good on ya", whatever is appropriate.

Of course, I assume you are getting a much better replacement when you get a second set. That is the plan.

You bet, Rob! Geographically misplaced Ninco press was replaces with a Slot.it. The generic hex keys turned into Wera ones. :)

Female I am. Silly I am not. ;)

I stole my wife's hot glue gun when I first started in this hobby 10 months ago. She laughs at me cause I'm using a hot pink glue gun. I tell her it glues the same as any other color so I don't need to waste money on a new one. We can share :).

I just counted the Q=tips on the bench and I think a few a missing! Thanks for the reminder to be vigilant. I know this sort of happens with other people, I just never thought this would happen to me.

My story is a little different. With passing of my wife last March I inherited a few nifty items, eye brow tweezers, great for decal placement, very soft blush brush, great for dusting off cars with no damage to delicate parts, all the Q-Tips I could possibly want, plenty of emery boards too, great for quick removal of plastic from chassis edges, and rounding tire edges after truing them. :)

Gameover, you can still paint the glue gun and add some racing stripes... maybe some flames, etc.

MIne always takes my 91% denatured alsohol. I cut myself so often I just dump it on all new and old wounds. I had to buy multiple bottles before she would leave me one.

:whistle:

My neighbor gave me his Elvis Lamp - his new bride made him get rid of it. My wife made me put it in the basement where my track and workshop are located. That's OK, she still hasn't found my stash of emery boards, clear nail polish and tweezers :lol:

I solved the Emery Board problem by making my own from magnum sticks.



Bit of double sided tape and some Emery cloth. The only contentious issue is who buys them and not throwing away the sticks.

She doesn't know I have hairspray for loose tires but I do get the occasional request for a Q-tip but then I pilfer cotton balls so. Sod it where's my hammer?
