    Good lessons. However, you can still spray in cold weather, you just have to keep the object being sprayed warm. Was doing this today. Open the window, spray outside close the window. Came out pretty good.

    My first lesson was "Always cut away from your body".

    Wash the figure. Paint sticks better.

    This was also my first lesson. I had to teach myself that though.

    Measure twice, cut once. And remember, you can always take material away, it's much harder to put it back!

    Always wear gloves. Although the other ones, like patience, cold weather aand washing apply for me aswell...
