Showerthought: My solid anvil base idea cracked under pressure.

I was sure a poured concrete block would handle the shock from shoeing. After finding splits from the hits, I'm trying a thick rubber pad instead. What do you use to soak up the beat from your hammer swings?

Rant: Staple guns beat wire clips any day

Ngl, I've been using a staple gun for low voltage wires for ages. It's quicker and holds better in my experience, but the other techs call me reckless. Do you guys ever use staples or am I alone here?

Moisture under sealant is costing me hours of rework

I sealed up a quarter panel without checking for dampness. A week later, bubbles showed up in the paint. Had to strip it all back and start over. Double-check your surfaces are completely dry before any sealant goes on.
