When using a double square for laying out dimensions on a project it is good practice to cover the dumb end of the blade with masking tape. Otherwise one gets practice plugging miscut mortises.
That is all.

Darn, that's one mistake I haven't discovered (yet).
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

No sticky tape residue to clean off.

I’ve done that. That’s why my now favorite small square is a 4” combo.
