How easy does that stuff cut or sand? Never worked with foam before
Or mixing up 3 parts resin to 1 part resin and wondering why it hadn't cured yet?
Grabbing the spray can to put the last coat on that oh-so perfect paint job and then pulling the trigger only to see the WRONG color come out!!!!!!!!
Don't do epoxy work at 2330. Doesn't work well.No? All the epoxies I have used are two colors...
I have mixed up 5:1 epoxy as 4:1 but that was not a disaster.
Like not taking the time to measure how much foam is needed to foam a nose cone....
... getting over-tacked with couplers and wood glue

I fully expect this to happen to me when I try foam for the first time...
Does forgetting to change into work clothes and ruining your nice shirts with epoxy count? I've done that twice recently.
Show of hands...
How many here have super glued various body parts to their fins, etc to the point of bleeding/burns? I've lost skin from my fingers, and some blood one more than one occasion. Got burned (2nd degree) when a big fat drop fell on my bare belly and began to set before I noticed it. Nowadays I mark my thin CA with a red sharpie before I open it.

Lets see...
forgetting launch lugs, then glueing them on with CA at the launch site, only to have them rip off while putting it on the pad
gluing the motor mount in backwards with TTW fins
after hours of sanding, finally starting to prime, only to grab the gloss white instead of primer... that was fun
how about igniter misfires? been there done that. 7 in one day is my record
getting over-tacked with couplers and wood glue
