Do not empty a can of Gunk all over the lawnmower engine (for your hovercraft project) that you're degreasing in your parents' bathtub.

I was thinking about making one from prints.
A friend of mine made one ,even made his own fan blades with desired pitch.
He used a Rotax engine .That thing hits 50 mph in the bay.
He starts it up on the trailer, drives it down the road to the bay & right down the embankment.

Never lock up someone else' cat in their bedroom because she got affectionate with your freshly lubed bikes that took up the whole livingroom.

Never lay that new frame you've been admiring down on the bed...even for a few minutes.

In my case though, it wasn't a poorly seated tire. A small rock had cut a small slit in my tire that I didn't notice. The tubes just kept wanting to squeeze through it.
