👍 [Beginner Tips] Tip for not losing screws

For the spaceshuttle in this case there are 4 different size screws in the kit. Most look very similair. To not lose them and keep them apart i put them is bags that can be sealed and also put in the original bag with the size sticker on it so i can grap the right size quickly.

This is a great idea! I am ending up with a collection of those little bags! Good way to make use of a few!

I also put the small pieces in zip bags so I don’t lose them, especially when the kit comes with screws. After building so many, I’ve ended up with tons of extra bags :joy:

Yeah me to. But some screws look a lot alike so thats why i also keep the sticker with the size on it to prevent from using the wrong screws

True! It’s really helpful. I also keep the sticker (unless I tear it when opening the bag, which happens sometimes :woman_facepalming:t2::joy:). And when I finish the kit, I store the leftover pieces in those bags too—I’ve gotten used to writing on them with a permanent marker to note what they’re from :smiling_face:
