Player's diary #2 - My thoughts on insert making

Insert making is so boring. So this time I decided to spice things up a bit and make it as fast as possible (without cutting myself). This made me thinking about some things that you may not hear in insert making tutorial online.

Do not use glue

All tutorials tells you to use glue. Use 3mm wide double side tape, believe me.

- No mess,

- No smell or toxic fumes,

- No spills or leaking,

- No pins necessary,

- It holds tight from the first second,

- Easy to apply,

Use proper knife

Now let's watch my attempt on first world (AFAIK) insert making speed running.
