This also works when using bumps or even dymo tape.

Your roast sounds really good. For that other half a can of cream of

Take a small appliance to a vocational technical high school to the

who does it will get a grade for that repair. The teacher likely will
inspect the repair before you get the item returned too. That's a
teaching opportunity
