Yeah, the one holding your side mirror on for six months. What finally gave out, the tape or the plastic?

Break it into smaller chunks, like two-hour sessions with a timer. Put on a podcast or some music you don't have to think about. The trick is to stop before you get frustrated, even if you're in the middle of something.

Man, that reminds me of my dad's old cast iron pan. He'd spend an hour just cleaning and oiling it after breakfast, and I never got why until I tried it myself. The routine of it, the feel of the rag in your hand, that's what makes it his pan and not just a thing from a store.

Oh man, that sounds so frustrating. I can just picture the struggle, trying to muscle those screws in. We've all had those moments where the simple tools just aren't the right ones for the job.

But @eva908, what about acid buildup from moisture over decades?
