    Why do cartoon characters have four fingers?

    Yes, I am including the thumb . . . I don't know the answer, but my son said that he had a teacher (not clear if this was in college or high-school) who once was discussing cartoon drawing and he said "always" use four fingers. No explanation why and I am now curious. If necessary, yes, I...

    Aluminum Boat - paint prep process

    Gluvit - Aluminum Boat

    I am doing a quick cleanup and turn of a 14' 1972 Sea Nymph. It leaks slightly and I planned to use Gluvit to seal that before painting. Three questions: 1) Do you apply the Gluvit on the inside? Floor? 2) It is only leaking near the transom, again only slightly, almost a weep. With that...
