03-17-2009 08:45 PMIn the middle of shooting the 1st coat of gel I had a little mishap. The disposable water seperator I was using decided to blow up. So I had to try and hold my pain gun and wrestle the flopping air line to keep it from hitting the wet gel. Man did that ever suck!
Then shortly after that I learned a valuable lesson about how long it takes gel to kick in a pain gun!
