Just a quick note regarding using 'subsitutes'

Although substitutes may look OK, there is no guarantee that any activity using them will run as intended. (Of course you'll never know that :) )

Some activities, and Laurie Dickerson was an expert at this, often relied on AI timings that were calculated to down the second. Using something even with the smallest difference in physics, mass and / or length will perform differently to the original.

Two rules to get you through life: If it's stuck and it's not supposed to be, WD-40 it. If it's not stuck and it's supposed to be, gorilla glue it.
