    The Bad Advice thread

    I'm sure we've all seen some particularly dodgy info slung around on the interwebs, some funny, some stupid, some downright dangerous. Here is a place to share bad repairs, bad ideas and bad advice. This could (hopefully) get interesting.


    *facepalm.


    Eww.


    Holy crap, that's dangerous.

    Haha, I winced when I saw the exacto knife, expected blood. But the end is pure idiocy. How to destroy a neck.

    I don't know about you guys but I always take the glass off my new tubes, it's more like just a wrapper they put on in the factory, work well with light bulbs too.

    Must admit this is the first time I have heard of taking the glass off tubes... But then again I dont mess with electrical stuff after getting booted by 500 volts at 60 amps when I was an apprentice
