    So I decided to rhino-line my 810 this morning. Got a good deal on a gallon of the stuff, so I put on my latex gloves and got to work. Did I mention it's cold as hell outside? I ended up doing the work in the back of my kitchen. I opened windows, turned on fans, but my whole house still reeks of fast drying, highly intoxicating bed liner.

    I typically frown on paint-huffing, I don't know how anyone could do this to themselves on purpose! I don't have a whole lot of brain cells left from my teenage years, I hope I didn't kill too many with today's exploits.

    Don't feel bad, there's idiots everywhere. My brother-in-law was picked up by the cops while passed out in his running car with a can of Krylon and a paper bag...

    Hi.

    I feel for You. Before I was fortunate enough to purchase Scott Pro-Flow mask I had terrible headaches every time I painted anything. I have had a beard almost all my adult life so ordinary masks just don't cut it :(.

    I never got the buzz people seems to refer to, I seemed to skip that part and jump straight into the hang-over. And A BAD one at that.

    Sorry to hear about Your brother in-law, it's never easy to understand the ways people behave.

    Regards
    Sam
