Can we talk about using a zip tie for a temporary ground on a 200 amp panel?
Had a service call in Portland where the main ground lug was stripped. Used a heavy duty zip tie to clamp the wire tight against the bus bar just to test the system. Would you ever do this or is it asking for trouble?

People act like every temporary thing needs to be perfect" really changed how I see quick fixes like that.

Honestly sounds like a solid field fix to me for a quick test. That bus bar is still making contact, just with a little extra help. People act like every temporary thing needs to be perfect, but you just needed to see if the system worked.
