...or what I've learned so far...

BEFORE you even open the container of paste:


1. Decide where you're going to put the item to dry
2. Tie your hair back
3. Scratch your nose well
4. Put the phone on "Do not disturb"
5. Put the paste between you and your coffee cup
6. Tear twice as many strips as you think you need before you get messy
7. Put the cat out/walk the dog
8. Baby wipes won't help if they aren't nearby

Once you have started:

 

1. Paste sticks things together, including brushes to tabletops
2. Paste sticks things together, especially when you spill it in your box o' strips
3. Paste sticks things together, like when you brush your hair out of your eyes
4. Paste sticks things together, including all the scraps left on the table.
5. Water removes paste more easily of you catch it while still wet
6. Paste glues eyelashes together nicely

When you THINK you've cleaned up:

1. Foam brushes with paste left in them can be used to stun small animals
2. Foam brushes with paste in them and left on top of containers make awkward handles
2. Paste containers need to be cleaned on the bottom, too
3. Dried paste makes a lousy depilatory
4. Containers of paste that are not closed well will invariably be spilled by your roommate (child, spouse) into the ground beef that is thawing below it
5. Clothing with dried paste in them will stand by themselves
6. Phones with paste-y fingerprints are not appreciated

In general:

1. Don't do all sides of a project at once unless they can levitate while drying
2. A bowl of paste looks remarkably like a bowl of milk but doesn't taste nearly as good with cereal in it
