It gets into everything. Always have to sweep it up, but today I loved it.
I decided it was time to pound that dent out of the cover on that motor. I
wasn't looking for pretty. Just functional. I picked up a 16 oz ball peen
hammer and walked outside looking for something to put the cover on before
covering that big dent with a punch of smaller dents in the opposite
direction. I didn't want to distort the shape of the cover too much in the
process. I threw it on the ground in the sand and worked it over with a
hammer for only a couple minutes, and the dent came right out with no real
distortion of the cover. The sand gave under the blow of the hammer, but
supported the cover firmly where the hammer wasn't falling.
I wish I had taken a before picture now. I could probably get it smoother
even. This cover is made out of decent sheet steel and it works nicely. I
stopped when it looked good enough to clear anything I need to put under it.
Some days small success are all it takes to make me happy.
