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?

Auto body putty or drywall mud?

I can't even see straight over that legislator.

What about plaster to fill in the areas? Especialy if you rough them up with sandpaper beforehand.
I have some. if you still want to craft on saturday i could bring it...

PDA has some modeling putty made for what you are doing. He gets it at the local hobby store. I'll get more info from him for you.

Not reading the article, the comments you made are enough, that legislator is loathesome.

I have pinged him with your problem. ;)

Feral hogs? Helicopters?

Guh? Bzah?

Grah?

I have no response to that.

Much love,
Rowan

for filling

epoxy putty.
It comes in many varieties, but it is strong, and not brittle. you knead two parts together, press the mixture into place, and if your timing is good, you can use a razor to trim the firming material smooth. epoxy can be kept from sticking to places you don't want it to by a thin layer of Vaseline.
the easiest to get hold of is from walmart/homedepot etc. it comes in tubes of about 2 oz. usually in the paint section under the name Quick steel or Aquamend or some such. JB Weld makes a variety.
You can get finer varieties from the interwebs such as MagicSculp, miliputi, or Greenstuff, these are a bit nicer to work with but you'll have to wait for shipping. Their drying time is slower as well.
bondo/ body putties are great but take a little bit more skill than epoxies, and they stink. I mean really stink. Not for indoor use, really. prolonged exposure to these is bad.
You can also use liquid epoxy. By over-filling the space on a level surface, (or propping up your gun ...) trimming off the result as it sets. liquid epoxies remain slightly squishy beyond their setting time. JB weld can be used like this.
There are other solutions too, but they get a bit more complicated

And I did the survey, but it was a teeny frustrating, there weren't applicable selections for some of the questions.
