Tuesday #1. Today I'm using an ego twist with a Boge carto. The button keeps sticking though, so I'm mailing it back this afternoon. Back to the regular ego for a few days.

So unfortunately I dropped my Lavatube a few days ago and I've been on a mission to find vinyl to wrap around it. At first I was going to order a sheet of adhesive vinyl online, but, since I don't have a credit card of my own, I try to limit my online transactions. I was going to buy a life-size sticker of Justin Beiber, and use his black jeans to wrap my Lavatube, but it was $10 and I figured I could find something better. I went to my local craft store and asked for adhesive vinyl. No cigar. They referred me to the adhesive felt isle and I ended up buying 2 sheets of that. Unfortunately it didn't work out... It was too stiff to stay curved around my LT. Next, I went to the hardware store. I managed to pick up a saddle valve to punch cartos but they didn't have adhesive vinyl. I couldn't believe it! They referred me to "plasti-dip" so I purchased it. $6.99 for a vat of quick dry plastic dip. So, I got it home and tonight I taped up the screen and buttons and dipped my Lavatube into the bottle. Unfortunately, it was a messy disaster. In cutting out the spaces for the screen and buttons, I managed to scratch the device further... So I decided to take some sand paper to it and to make this long story a bit shorter, I'm left with a black Lavatube full of messy patches of brushed aluminum. Great. I plan on finishing the "Scratch Job" until the entire device is brushed aluminum. Yes... This is a perfect example of... DO NOT DROP YOUR PV!!!
