|  Yellow Bugzilla, Sorta
I went down to the store the other day to get one of those nickel want ad papers - sounds like a simple enough task, right? I parked out of the way of the busy gas station customers. They had recently repaved the area and there were posts with the yellow plastic warning barriers around. A sudden gust of wind knocked over 2 of these things and the yellow stuff was flapping all over. BAD NEWS. It landed on the hot pipes and melted. I had about 5 inches of gooey yellow crap on the pipes. No choice but to let it cook merrily away and go back home. This stuff was a %%%%% to get off. Whatever would take it off was also flamable, so you had to let the pipes cool down, then it didn't work so well. I ended up using a spatula, WD40, acetone, and finally polish to get the crap off - it took about an hour. Moral: watch out for those yellow banners, they stick worse than any bug! |
