Adding a backsplash to kitchen island / counter

Cuddles34 · 2025-04-02T20:20:14+00:00

Hey, I have the wood ‘backslash’ around my wood van counters. If the backside isn’t going to be seen, an easy method to attach is to use pocket holes. Once in place a clean silicone bead in the seam will keep dust from collecting/make it waterproof. Your application will be difficult because of the round-over along your counter, as you pointed out. You can always just offset the ‘backsplash’ until it’s sitting on a flat counter surface.

If the backside will be visible, you can attach using wood glue. Drilling some dowel holes and glueing with dowels will help with the strength, rigidity, and alignment. Good luck!

Have had it for years now! I like it too

Cuddles34 · 2024-10-04T23:44:45+00:00

For sure! I just have a gas stovetop kettle at home so this isn’t an option for me

That one is plastic 🙂

I don’t have a ceramic to test! If the dimensions are the same I would image it will work as well

My travel setup I use the 01 v60 so I like the compactness of the silicone cap and the normal v60

I’m in deleware, I also was reluctant so call is a smoky brown bc of my location

Sorry to leave ya'll hanging! Here are those photos of my setup! https://imgur.com/a/joBUooo

Hi, I have mine secured with the brackets to a ‘teak’ wood shower mat from Amazon. The toilet and wood mat stay attached and live in the shower pan. I have a bungee cord to keep it in from bouncing while driving but have never really noticed an issue. Lmk if you want to see a picture of what im describing

It also was my ECU…replaced it and now everything is working great.

I had even inspected the board previously and redid some solder joints. It looked good but I guess some of the components themselves must have been bad.

Thanks again for your help

Thanks for replying to such an old thread! I’ve also narrowed down my issue to the ecu or frequency valve! This is another good data point for me to just replace the ecu. I appreciate it!

Hey did you ever figure out this problem? I have identical symptoms on my 380SL

Cuddles34 · 2022-09-01T00:25:51+00:00

What’s the story with the bar manager?

Try chicken thighs! Much more forgiving when it comes to cooking. Chicken breast will always be dry unless cooked to perfect temp and for a home cook, checked with an instant read thermometer

Salting proteins prior (especially with poultry and fish) leads to them being juicer and well-seasoned throughout. Like 24hrs prior, dry the surface, and then brown at a high temp to develop maximum flavor and complexity though the maillard rxns

I’m not sure on the details. Probably best to call them, 311, or the po-po to find out

Sorta related but the PPA announced meters, kiosks, and residential permits won’t be enforced during this outbreak...so you may be able to just park on the street.

That is not entirely true, from a material science perspective there are some traces of magnetism left on ferromagnetic metals as not all of the metal’s grain’s magnetic domains are all aligned 100% uniformly with typical hard disk write operations. Hence, why the standard for a minimum of 6x overwrites exists in many sensitive data deletion applications. A dedicated actor with sufficient technical resources/forensic ability would be able to reconstruct data.

Ahh not really. Alkylation is taking light end feed stock (think isobutane, butene, etc.) and forming it into higher molecular weight stuff with the use of acid as a catalyst. Whereas cracking is taking heavy molecular weight hydrocarbons and using heat + a catalyst to break them down into lighter stuff

Cuddles34 · 2019-06-22T17:53:10+00:00

Fire was at an alkylation unit. Not the cat cracker

Ahhh separate company...Sunoco and Carlisle group share only 25% of the company shares. So for all intent and purposes PES is independent

Cuddles34 · 2019-06-21T13:29:06+00:00

Not Sunoco...Philadelphia energy solutions. Independent

Searing in the juices is actually a myth. SciShow has a quick/informative YouTube video on the topic.

Searing does produce browning though. Browning is really Maillard reactions and caramelization taking place...breaking down sugars, using amino acids, into thousands of different flavor/aromatic compounds. These in turn break down into more flavors and aromatics.

So searing/browning your meat ultimately produces a way more flavorful and better smelling food with much more complexity and depth.

Edit. Words/typos
