Or my favourite sign. Wet Paint! This is not an insruction.

Cut & paste is rarely used unless you are in the advertising industry. The norm is copy & paste.

It's over 20 years since I had a Major. I don't think you can concentrate the heat well enough to get where it needs to be most effective ie the bottom of the threads.
