Gosh after hearing your stories I feel better. I guess we all have our moment.

I was EXTREMELY surprised when the ab worked. I expected it to be locked up.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
There's been several for me, but the one that sticks out most in my mind was when I went to open a bottle of paint, I unscrewed the lid slightly then got distracted by something for a few seconds, picked up the paint again, and shook it to mix up the paint. The paint went just about everywhere. Most of it landed up on me. All over my hand, and somehow on my neck. I spent the next hour in the bathroom scrubbing it off.
Painting an entire model Panzer yellow, only to come inside, turn on the light, and notice I had grabbed Afrika Korps brown. That was the last time I painted in the garage. The light was feeble, the glare from the street was too much, so I didn't notice the color until too late.
Another incident is more of a "too weird to be true" thing. I tried blowing some excess decal solvent off a model, and somehow the decal lifted, went airborne, and applied itself to my overhead light fixture. I searched high and low for the missing decal, but could not find it. A friend who came over some hours later found the decal in seconds. But it had already dried and conformed to my light fixture. Just-like-paint. I still cannot figure out how that happened.

PJ, paint in the AB from the day prior and no problems????? That's the luck of the Irish.
My big dummy moment was a slight mask overspray leak, at the top of a 32nd F-14 canopy. Went to clean it with some 71%, didn't look closely enough and used lacquer thinner. Thanks to Revell customer service the replacement came through quickly. Big thanks to them.
Bish I think my biggest Bone head mistake was taking up the damn hobby in the first place. Beyond that, i'll have to think on it, just so many.

I glued up the fuselage on an SBD, only to find when I put it back in the box at the end of the work session that the assembled cockpit was still in the box, not the fuselage......ended up using the fuselage as AB practice piece.

Well I was having an excellent time yesterday shooting some gray paint in my air brush. After doing a ton of house chores today I decided this afternoon to fire up the compressor and shoot some Aqua Gloss on a Raptor I'm doing to prep it for decals.
When I went to pick up my air brush to pour some AG what did I see!!
The freaking paint was still in the AB cup from yesterday morning!
Over 24 hours had passed but the air brush was not clogged and actually sprayed as usual. My luck was that it was enamel and not acrylic paint which dries super fast and would have locked up the needle in the tip. All it took to clean was some lacquer thinner to shoot thru and it was all good. I didn't even have to break down the AB for a heavy cleaning so I continued on with my air brushing.
