Once upon a time, not very far away from where I am right now, an epic
adventure begins to unravel... I've made a sink for my darkroom! I pondered
what to use to waterproof this new sink, and then it came to me: fiberglass
resin!
My first attempt of using the resin on my new sink proved unsuccessful;
the resin, being too old, would not cure. "Alas!" I thought to myself, "The
resin is too old! I must purchase a new can!"
And so, I ventured to my neighborhood place-to-buy-stuff store. After
making my purchase of one unused can of fiberglass resin, I began
construction on another sink, the first one having been irreversibly covered
with uncurable resin.
I brought this new sink to my home, for it would be much easier and more
convenient to waterproof it there. I took the sink outside and set it on two
mighty horses. I spread and brushed the resin long into the night.
Occasionally checking on the sink to see if the resin was cured, I
noticed something odd. Flies! Fifteen flies! The next time, 47,000 flies!
All of which were stuck in the resin! They were dead, of course. What could
I do about this? Sand them? No, I would have bug guts everywhere. Nothing!
I could do nothing about this! So I went to sleep on the couch.
