Yep, cab cleaner in a can.

Maybe a tint of stale blue grease!

Fish Dad - I know that elsewhere in the forum was a post regarding using Chapstick for waxing/sealing reel spools. Now I don't know how closely related Chapstick is to lipstick, but I can tell you in no uncertain terms from my day job, that there are certain brands of lipstick out there that I would like to paint my house with (not necessarily because of the color!). I don't know what's in that stuff, but I swear there are times that it's easier just to throw the pint glass away! I have to think it truly would be a bulletproof "lifetime coating".

I ran across this old thread tonight and I just had to reply.
The picture was taken this afternoon - and I never even got in trouble ! You see, my wife fishes as much as I do and she completely understood the practicality in the situation. I Had the gear in saltaway for a few weeks and just ran them thru a quick rinse.

But her eyebrow pencil ? I highly doubt it !

I was making a coiled rod leash the other day so proceeded to boil the coiled mono in a pan on the stove so it keeps the coils, got in to a fair amount of trouble

Wouldn't dare...I respect my wife's stuff and space to much.

(i.e. I'm a coward when faced with her justifiable anger)

Yes, metoo.....

LOL but I still occasionally need something that I don't have in my workshop and she has in the kitchen.
Kitchens are no longer Wife domains, I am also expected to work there

On another note I found that if you boil a bear skull to clean it, in the house and with a really good roasting pan (who knew they are different ones???), make sure your wife does not return from her outing early .................... I had some splaining to do.
