46: Don't drill a board with it laying on Christmas lights on your front porch after dark with 10,000 multicolored lights being the only light because the porch light is off for the lights... (My lights are still safe and intact, but...)

47. The insulation on the power cord for your soldering iron will melt if you rest the soldering iron on it.
48. Soldering irons are metal. Metal conducts electricity. (See 47).

Cmon, safety doesn't only apply to builds ppl!
49. P P E for whatever reason whatsoever
50. Try your best not to spill the 2M HCl or 2M NaOH on yourself in 4n6. No personal experience with this tho.
51. Don't reach over a bunsen burner or hot plate with your sleeves rolled up to any length. Do have personal experience with this one and the mark to prove it. It originally blistered too due to the lack of availability of medical attention on the tournament day...
52. Tasting powders is an inappropriate and potentially dangerous method of identification attempting.

53. Along the same vein, don't hot glue styrofoam. It will melt. Seems obvious, but alas, I did it anyway.sciolyperson1 wrote:35. Don't put super glue on styrofoam, it starts smoking under the right conditions.

54. It is possible to glue Styrofoam without it melting, but it's hard. It involves putting the glue on your finger until it cools enough for the foam...venules wrote:53.

could a dowel not suffice? I find it hard to believe you did not have a pencil or a dead pen somewhere nearby.Things2do wrote:54. It is possible to glue Styrofoam without it melting, but it's hard.

As you can tell from one of my earlier tips, hot glue + hand =bad.
55. Less for safety than for sanity, but make you sure you spend the extra 10-15 minutes it takes to pack everything back up for the night. Otherwise, you'll end up with two rooms + a garage full of PLA splinters, wood scraps, carbon fiber dowels, test tubes, wires, etc. I actually found a pack of servos under a closet, back from when I did robot arm. That would have been really helpful when all my other servos burned out, and I needed some ASAP.

The finger was easier... Besides, I never let it heat up much. It's a old gun. I use it as soon as anything'll come outta the nozzle...PM2017 wrote:could a dowel not suffice?

56. The metal tip of a hot glue gun is, well, HOT!
(Stupid, obvious tip, but I apparently thought that it was a good idea to pick up a warmed up hot glue gun by its metal tip... )
