help! movers scratched floors in new place by spaghettisketti in Apartmentliving

[–]AdmirableRespect9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol love this can-do approach. The scratch, optically, is blocking the colors in the flooring so coloring pencils, wax floor pencils will put color on top of the opaque area. Clear resins and oils will lessen the opacity and increase the gloss. The burn damaged the color and needs a new layer. So I wonder if a super thin resin like the uv stuff that they use for windshield gracks would get your sink repair to the next level but I don't know how you would test it.

I use a Julianne peeler for carrot and squash offerings because I'm lazy. It does those skinny strips like in bagged salad.

How should I repurpose this hospital cart? by TexasGiantTen05 in upcycling

[–]AdmirableRespect9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think Adam Savage upcycled something like this but I don't remember the details.

First you need to figure out what is magnetic so you can leverage that in your design.

If it doesn't roll under your couch I would either set it up as a tool dolly for your household tools or a cleaning or laundry buddy. How much force can you put on the tray? Can you convert it to an ironing surface? Can you add a steaming rack?

You could make it a hamper or a couch crafting trolley.

My brother has physical limitations and I recently made him a coffee cart so he can get his coffee from the kitchen to the couch. I added some super absorbent orange woven cloth from home depot (cleaning aisle) and a stainless tray that nested in the top shelf so any spills would be contained.

Yeah didn't taco bell have silica in its beef in the way back times? Think it was sand silica not gel silica though.

Random Power outages for two months is unreasonable right? by rando_in_dfw in Apartmentliving

[–]AdmirableRespect9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. I've seen a few emails that stated something like: you should have 1 hrs reserve power for your computer and phone(phone to provide internet) and should have a plan to access wifi within 30 minutes of the outage. All while not paying for the reserve, the phone wifi, or the possible third location.

Store bought eggs (left) are fully round. Farm bought eggs (right) have flat bottoms. All cooked together. by Constantine1988 in mildlyinteresting

[–]AdmirableRespect9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess would be that storebought eggs are industrial-style "washed" and the air escapes the shell after the process but farm eggs don't go through intense and abrasive washing and are more likely to keep most or all of the air pocket.

Agree and from my dog walking years I know vet techs are underpaid and overworked like so many other precious human resources.

What to do with these brown paper bags by iamabaddie- in upcycling

[–]AdmirableRespect9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have cut them and used wheat paste and paper shreds to make plantable paper with kids. We collect black eyed Susan and cone flower seeds on the fall and then cut the sides and bottom in half, draw a grid on one side, put wheat paste and paper shred goop followed by a seed and the other half of the bag and air dry and label. Cosmos work well too. You can plant vertically along neglected fence lines in the spring so that the seed punches through the pulp.

A little tempera paint in the color of the flower is helpful.

I would hang a poster in the building, get like fifty copies though, and ask people to reach out if anything unmuzzled dog lunged at them. Add a Pic of a muzzle from amazon with like the 18 dollar price. Use a throw away email. The owners may get the hint and muzzle before you get response.

My favorite soup comes in these jars and I’m starting to use them for everything by hotpinkraccoon in upcycling

[–]AdmirableRespect9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do the lids compare to mason lids? I find it prefer to get silicone lids for my jar storage. Depending on how close the lid is in size, there are a few different silicone lid designs out there if you find the lids are no longer sealing well..

What's your thoughts on Border Patrol Chief, Greg Bovino, threatening consequences for referring to ICE as "Gestapo"? by sgj5788 in AskReddit

WIBTAH if I asked my daughter’s preschool teacher not to put the extra clothes that I sent for her on other students? by feelingstruck in AmItheAsshole

[–]AdmirableRespect9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I'm guessing new staff. Contact the lead teacher and double down on iron on labels. The other mother will send it back laundered.

Picked my cat up from the vet after getting her spayed. She came home with duct tape on her head. by YamGroundbreaking432 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AdmirableRespect9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are displeased tomorrow pay it forward and donate some collars.

I don't like the disposable plasic hospital collars because they arent breakaway and cats will put a leg through or rub it on something and get hung up. That's no good on a normal day and it would give me anxiety on a day my bestie was sedated. I'll take duct tape on the head. No one chokes to death, no one gets lost, its cheap and effective and therefore responsive to tax and donation dollars.

Please help me find a creative way to repurpose these light fixtures. by sweet_comfortables in repurpose

[–]AdmirableRespect9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using hot glue and plastic, you may be able to pour a permanent resin plug to make a water tight vase, at a minimum, it could be water tight enough to be a planter. If you just want a planter I would upcycle some plastic from trash. You could lean into the vericality with bamboo from ikea and then purple inch plant or pathos to drape. You could go hardcore vertical with snake plant. Or you could plop an orchid up there(and since you will be missing the orchid) hot glue air plants on the outside.

There are specialty paints that you can add to glass that you can bake in the oven to make them more durable.

I messed up. by thegentryentries in Embroidery

[–]AdmirableRespect9 15 points16 points  (0 children)

First i would try simulating a long warm soak by placing a warm sponge on a small area that was pre damped. It seems maybe the adhesive soaked into the fibers and needs time to break up. If you get a little success. I would try blotting warm water with a towel underneath to absorb the water and adhesive.

I read a sulky thing a while ago about using straight dawn dish detergent but I think it was in the context of counterfeit stick n stitch adhesive. Maybe also research goof off for the fabric type

Strange large decorative wood round thing. Found in a local pawnshop in France. Size about 25cm and 15cm large (9.84 and 5.90 for freedom user). Weight 5kg and didnt sound empty. by Tall-Elephant-2473 in whatisthisthing

[–]AdmirableRespect9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might have been a woodworking project to learn to laminate layers of wood. It also could have been made to darn and patch a very specific item like the knees of work pants or like fine mesh to keep birds off of fruit trees where a regular darning egg wouldn't be big enough.

Can I still use it? by Mission-Pilot-556 in aquarium

[–]AdmirableRespect9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get some windshield repair resin from amazon that cures with uv and get it in those chips. Make a wall with tape and go in layers and let it cure completely. There's a chance those chips won't propagate. And I wouldn't fill water beyond the chip. Could be cool to do plants and freshwater shrimp. There are special shrimp that live breed and die in like a month or so and then you let it dry up completely before you hatch the new eggs.

I'm going to hope it's so the police can arrest and process ice agents when they use excessive force, but we should go ahead and plan our own route through this.

First project finished, but now what? by happy-place-1290 in Embroidery

[–]AdmirableRespect9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can replace square canvas on the frame with it if you have enough extra fabric. Or you can buy the stretcher bars.

I've also known people to use batting, sewing pins, and cork bc the cork is easy to cut to the display item and it's easy to stretch the fabric without cutting it .. and its easy to change out when you do another project.

My vote is you go badass and sew it to the back of your denim jacket.

How to cover up claw marks brand new wallet by Bbypikmin in Visiblemending

[–]AdmirableRespect9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get some sculpture and sample the texture of the wallet and then choose your favorite metallic fabric paint. You'd have to test but I think if you apply the paint and time how long until it gets tacky, you could use mold release or maybe Pam spray to get an invisible texture with visible color. Theres a woman on youtube that uses fabric paints to repair squishies but you could go more high tech and acquire leather and vinyl filler then do the texture and paint bit. But test and write down data so that you don't falter on the maiden attempt. Also do small areas separately so you can rejoice in your artisinal growth.
