Village Idiot Award for the Week goes to KIPPER!!!!!

Well heres a costly lesson to anybody. Don't put your pecpads and eclipse in a bag together and dump it in your room upside down. Well if you do, make sure the lid is securely on.

Just opened hte bag and I'm like "Hmm lots of condensation in this bag. Wonder what that's from"

Then I went "Hmmm that condensation is making my head spin. Oh it's not condensation, it's eclipse fluid.....DOH!"

The eclipse fluid should be stored separately in an upright position with the lid firmly screwed on.

I remember reading somewhere that it had leaked out of the bottle on a plane probably due to the lowered air pressure. I gather it is prone to escaping.

Yeah, well I couldn't see any harm having it with the pecpads in a ziptight freezer bag. But I guess I can see why now :)

Actually, Eclipse Pads are an excellent idea... sort of like those Clearasil pimple pads with liquid already in them...

I've also has an Eclipse leak. The bloody bottles are defective and you are not the villiage idiot. The designer of the bottle is the idiot. Hold your head up high...and dare to venture out. Oh...and wait for me.

That's the nice thing about this place. Whatever the question whatever the circumstance, whatever the blunder some one has gone and done it before you!
