    Right tool, right job?

    Another important tool...your hand. After multiple cleanings and wipe downs I was doing a final slate inspection. Ran my hand over the entire slate and found several stuck on bits and nubs I had to pop off plus one well camouflaged crater about 3/8 across I had to fill with bondo.
