#1 either remove rock and drill it, orbreak down, the plug, or remove (clip or cut) from plug
#2 not sure why
#3 if using the 2 part "log" putty, nead it really well. I add super glue to it.
#4 I onlu use BSI gel, it works really well, but you do have to get use to using it. Keep moving the frag piece around on the stop you want it to stay, if is on coraline, it's harger to stick from the slime.
#5 I'm surpirsed the Hermits arn't working on it.
#6 Nope. A Kent metal blade scraper works really well and fast. ON GLASS ONLY!!!!
Another trick you can do with the float is to rap it with wedding vail, or just take a hunk of it like a dish pad sice of it in your hand and use it straight. It will work on acrilic to.
Vail is really cheep, fabric store, or from someone getting divorsed, just kidding
