Giving up sniffing glue thread

Of course, if one goes back to their childhood days, the really big fragrance of the day was "Spirit Duplicator Fluid." One often spent maybe 5 minutes of their "test time" sniffing the test papers! Drove the teachers cray-cray!

When I bought my house in 20 odd years ago it had galvanized pipe water lines. Correction: RUSTY galvanized pipe water lines.

Took it upon myself to re plumb all the supply lines. Spent 3 or 4 days crawling around under the house with a couple cans of Oatey... Primer and solvent cans taped side by side... Cutting, priming, and gluing.

Now, I've always thought PVC solvent had a good smell. But after a couple hours of open cans wafting out fumes a foot from your face... You get a REALLY bad headache.

Oddly enough, on the label it mentions that you should use it in a well-ventilated area.😂

I may have lost a couple grades worth of reading level from that experience.

Unfortunately, I think those "fat boy" markers went away in an effort to help reduce "Graffiti" Similar to the restrictions they have on selling "Krylon" and "Rust-o-leum" aerosol paint cans to young teens.
Pretty sure I came across one not too long ago. But, no telling how old it was either.

Sharpie makes a big one too. I keep one in my tool pouch out in the shop... But it doesn't smell like the old Sanford's.
