Tip: Check the Bottom of your Cylinder Sleeves

Post by CDBPDX »

Be sure to check that the bottom of your cylinder sleeve is actually connected to the sleeve before you pick it up. Just lost a gold moulded cylinder because I picked it up and it slid out the bottom onto the floor and shattered into such tiny pieces I can't even read the label info to see what I lost. :(

The bright side is that at least I'm not too old to learn something new....

I lost a brown wax that way. I think we've all done that at least once.
