Don'ts for Newbies
We really need a sticky for Don'ts for newbies. Like don't put water based colors or scents in hot plastic, Don't put hot pyrex cup on cold metal plate. I think it would be helpful and maybe save an eye, or a finger, or even a life.

Re: Don'ts for Newbies
Very good, I was just thinking of this same thing.
1. If your Pyrex cup has a chip or little crack in it, throw it out and buy a new one.
2. Don't set Pyrex dish on cold metal or concrete surfaces.
3. Don't use Pyrex on hot plate.
4. Don't mix water base scents with plastic.
5. Don't use floating bubbles without using a mask.
6. Use good ventilation when pouring in confined areas.
7. Be careful of plastic injectors or anything that puts 350 degree plastic under pressure.
8. Were safety glasses when pouring baits, it can save an eye.

Re: Don'ts for Newbies
great idea. I would consider myself a "Newbie" still. Learning alot from you guys but it never hurts to reinterate these safety tips.
If it wouldnt have been for this forum when I microwaved plastics to try to make a tube I would have put that cup on cold wood and I'm sure it would have broke.

Re: Don'ts for Newbies
Unless you are ready to spend almost all your free time and spend more money than you intended; don't do it. lol
Oh yeah; you have to be ready to take some heat from your significant other as well.
Other than that it's the best addiction you could have.

Re: Don'ts for Newbies
Oh yes.....the significant other. I could go on FOREVER about that! 
Here's a good "don't" that pretty much says it all for the newbies.......
Don't EVER invade her space or use ANY of her tools!

Re: Don'ts for Newbies
DON'T - leave your powder paint exposed to the elements. When not in use ALWAYS keep it in a tightly sealed container. Any moisture/humidity will ruin the stuff.
