It seems no matter how hard I try to avoid it, I always drop at least one part on the floor during a build. Some of the parts are quite small and quickly bounce out of sight. I’ve wasted a lot of precious modeling time on all fours, rubbing my hand slowly across the floor hoping to feel the elusive part. Then I hit upon the idea of using a disposable lint roller – the kind with peel-off tacky sheets, used to remove fuzz from clothes or furniture. Lint rollers are available in the laundry- or cleaning-supply sections of most grocery stores. When I roll the lint remover across the floor, it quickly picks up the stray item.
