That's because you're not old enough yet...... Just you wait! From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Mathew Howard Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2021 3:33 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: getting old and angry
I do hate silicone. I see no advantage over using mastic 99% of the time. But for some reason that I can't fathom, installers occasionally decide that mastic doesn't work and they start using silicone again. Fortunately, I don't get quite that mad about it...

I do prefer mastic under a lag bolt on the roof these days, but I do use silicone on a cable entry hole.

I came across a box of some new stuff the boss ordered for the installer (i dont know if i ever mentioned i got a "promotion" a few years ago to a "supervisor" position but got cucked everytime i turned around, I despise micromanagement). Anyhow in the box was a cool elbow fro protecting cable from varmints, that was pretty cool, i used to keep pvc and conduit to bend, I wished i had had something like that when i was installing. then I see it, i pile of tubes of silicone FUCKING SILICONE I despise silicone, it should be banned from the planet, it had its time, like manual push mowers. I banned this shit years ago. I put it in the garbage and remind techs to never use it, if you want caulk, butyl. otherwise always use mastic, it stays malleable and moves if the hole chnages for nay reason, you can pull it, reuse it in the hole, you can paint over it, etc. silicone hardens and all you can ever do is put more silicone on it, and if you ever came in after a guy who doesnt believe theres such thing as enough silicone you have a half a day jus getting through it. A whole box of this shit. I went ballistic. planned to call back the headhunter tonite to get me a new job, started plotting violence in my head. Almost walked out. over silicone. Pretty sure that level of rage is unhealthy, but so is the amount of bacon and butter I consume, so it probably evens out. get off my lawn -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ Total Control Panel Login<https://asp.reflexion.net/login?domain=litewire.net> To: ja...@litewire.net<https://asp.reflexion.net/address-properties?aID=242260993&domain=litewire.net> From: af-boun...@af.afmug.com<mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> You received this message because the domain afmug.com is on your allow list.
