A WELL lit work area is needed.....Quiet work area is needed (No cellphones !)...I do put on the radio on low though...(Classic Rock station )
Go over instruction thoroughly before starting....fit parts BEFORE painting or glue is used.
Apply glue sparingly !!!....use a sharpened toothpick to apply it...NEVER directly from the tube.
Don't blow off trimmings or sanding dust with your mouth !..... (your breath introduces moisture) and it scatters stuff around ! Use an old toothbrush or a CLEAN makeup brush.

Keep kitty and children off your work area...
Ask your significant other before taking her emery boards, cotton puffs, q-tips, hairspray and make-up brushes...
Never use her sewing scissors or iron... get your own...
Have a good drink at hand but don't mix it up by grabbing your decal water or thinner jar by mistake...

When you # 11 Exacto rolls off you work bench, don't try to catch it with your feet!
When working with Bare Metal Foil, take a stiff shot of whiskey to calm your nerves.

Great tips, Patrick! And some nice additional tips, guys! I'm guilty of doing some of the things you chaps said not to. (I'm not saying which ones, tho!)
