Survey says?

R U Paleo? If so, and you have a few minutes to spare, please consider filling out the 2010 Paleo Community Survey.

Need some rage today? Try this on for size! Kansas legislator suggests using hunters in helicopters to control illegal immigration, likens immigrants to feral hogs. Representative Peck's final thoughts on the matter?

He said he didn't expect any further controversy over his comment. "I think it's over," he said.

Like your political career (I hope), you fucking cretin. I never thought I'd live to see the day that I wished was back in southeastern Kansas, but goddamn, I'd love to vote against this guy.

I painted a statuette of St. Barbara last night. I think I did a pretty good job, considering I haven't painted anything like that in years (and years and years). I need some more small brushes.

Advice request! Before I start painting the water guns, I need to fill in some areas (like where the manufacturer cut the word s-p-l-a-s-h across a little oval area on the side). Does anyone have a suggestion for something to fill these spaces? I tried pouring some glue in there, but I don't think that's a great solution, and I'm unsure it'll dry evenly. I like the idea of some sort of putty that I could press in, that would take paint and wouldn't fall out. Dunno if that's realistic or not, though. What say you?

Wow! Helpful comment is chock-full of helpfulness. Thank you, Tom!

I used to glue plastic plates (made from recycled yogurt containers) over offending logos. This plus a couple of fake rivets, and you've got a lunar landing!

I thought about gluing something over the top, but was worried about the cover item eventually popping off.

It's always a good idea to rough things up where glue is concerned, especially if it's bonding to smooth surfaces like plastic. 80 grit sandpaper is good for this or just scraping with an xacto blade..
liquid epoxy + rough on all surfaces = a relatively permanent bond. Tho I should note most epoxy doesn't bond well to vinyls, (i.e. pvc) and is only passable on ethylene plastics (i.e. 2 liters.) I'm confident that a squirt gun would be made of styrene.

Ooo. Thanks about the roughing up. I wouldn't have thought to do that.
