We are all tired of spending half our modeling time looking for parts we have launched into the great unknown, especially when using metal-tipped tweezers. So why not get a grip? Buy a bottle of liquid electrical tape. Dip the tips of your tweezers into the goo, let them sit for a few minutes and — Voila! — your own rubber-tipped tool. A bottle of the stuff costs about as much as a pair of regular old tweezers, and you’ll have enough liquid to coat several. Use it on your pliers, too.
