Build Tip: Glue, Pens, and Making part templates

When tracing factory parts onto paper, to make templates for replacement parts, don't use a Sharpie...When the CA adhesive touches it, it darkens and sometimes even runs a bit...making your foam a little messy looking.

And...wax paper doesn't seem to like pencil or ballpoint pen -- that's why I used the Sharpie. So, you might want to pick a different paper...like velum or white butcher paper.
