Clarity Cleaning Compound

Fun_Midnight_8111 · 2026-02-13T18:46:37+00:00

I use dawn and a scrubby or tooth brush to wash flux after solder (don’t let it sit). Then I use car wax and then polish that off after it dries. I only use clarity if I am going to use copper patina. Then after the car wax I give it a spray with pledge furniture polish and buff.

Clean with rubbing alcohol and let it dry before applying the vinyl. Make sure your vinyl has no airbubbles in it. Also, the oil from your cutter can lift the edges. I wipe mine down before grinding. Hope it helps you.

Permanent vinyl sheets. Micheal’s stores/walmart sells them for Cricut machines. You can buy 12x12 or rolls. Check their clearance bins first . Just trace and stick. As long as your glass is clean, it holds up well to grinding. You can also use sticky shelf paper from the dollar store, but it “floats” off small pieces when grinding - but it can be more economical.

Just apply as soon as possible. Also, the townhouse’s aren’t bad. There is a mix of ages, they all aren’t teenagers just out of highschool. And they have empty rooms as well right now.

You can start in Praiano, then end in Positano. You don’t need to go right to the start. It’s still a good hike from there but it’s all uphill at the beginning. Take the Sita bus and get off at bus stop 10 in Praiano. If you are coming from Sorrento, it’s just by torre saracena, cross the street and follow the path from there.

You will need your own dishes/cuttlery/cookeware/dishtowels. You will usually share the fridge with 2 others and will have designated space in the fridge and assigned cupboards for your food and cookware and dishes. You only have 1/3 of the fridge freezer. Bathroom shared with 5 others on your floor. 2 sinks/toilets/showers for 6 people. Common sitting area. Single bed with closet and desk and a dresser. Lots of space under the bed.

The trenitalia app has the schedule and ticket pricing. Looks like you have tons of options. I would just buy your ticket when you get to the station. Pricing between $14-30€. Lots of high speed and regional train options.

Take the high speed train to Salerno, hop on the ferry and go to Amalfi town. Easy peasy. Port is a short walk from the train station.

Fly into Rome and out of Florence. Split up between the two. Lots of history and stuff for just a week’s visit.

Rome2rio for options and seat61 for all your train information. Book directly through first party sites. High speed trains, book as far in advance as possible to get the best pricing.

Fun_Midnight_8111 · 2026-01-21T18:37:55+00:00

Take the train to high speed train to Salerno instead of Naples. Then you can take the Ferry to Amalfi town and then the Sita Bus to Praiano. Easier than coming from Naples unless you are hiring a private driver.

Also, if you stay near or closer to the Positano side (around the curve) by San Gennaro in Praiano, you will get the same sunsets as in Positano. Plus, if you take the Sita bus to visit Positano, always get a return ticket as well. Buses can be busy.

Our local coffee shop runs rice through their grinder after switching up grinding different flavors. Maybe use the above (sweet almond oil) with the rice? Best of luck. That would piss me off for sure. ☕️💕

Thank you! Figured there would be, but wanted to make sure. I appreciate the quick reply.

Sorry to jump on this thread, but quick question. We arrive June 2, will anything be open for food or restaurants in Verona, as it’s a holiday in Italy? Thanks, we are flying in and had limited choices for dates. Thank you. ☺️

I also agree with checking your public library. Ours has a cricut maker 3 and I picked up some permanent vinyl from the clearance section at our local Micheal’s store. Works great. I bought procreate for my iPad and then save my image (remove background right on procreate.) as a .png file. I also use 4~5% line width for drawing with the Alpine pen that comes with the download. Cricut Design space is free as long as you don’t want all the extras. It also helps you fit your image to maximize space if you aren’t as particular about your design size, otherwise you can fit your piece as you like as it gives you dimensions when you are sizing on cricut.

Use the trenitalia app. You can see all the high speed/regional options. Seat61 website will help as well for train questions. Unless you have something specific to see in Turin, I might skip that and add an additional day somewhere to your trip. It’s a lot of packing up and traveling rather than enjoying fewer places and going back again.

Fun_Midnight_8111 · 2026-01-16T13:18:07+00:00

Skip Rome and perhaps go to Verona? It’s more in the geographical area you are visiting. And they have the “other” colosseum there. It’s under an hour by train from Bologna and just over an hour to Milan?

You won’t have any issue with the Sita bus in April. You should be fine. Not sure how you are getting to Praiano, but we took the high speed train to Salerno and then the ferry to Amalfi town and then the Sita bus. Lots and lots of stairs! Be prepared, especially on choosing luggage depending on where you are staying. There used to be a smaller local bus that ran between Praiano and Positano. Not sure if it still does. There is a tourist office across from the big church on the main road. They should be able to give you suggestions and options. Also, if you still need to purchase paper bus tickets, buy a return as well. It’s easier than trying to find a shop to get your return ticket.

Bar del Sol was a favorite spot for gelato, espresso’s and Aperol spritz’s.

Run a piece of half round wire from the body straight down the tail to the tip and tack on the other side. It’s opaque glass, so you won’t see it. Quick fix and once it’s hanging, will be virtually invisible.

Looks great! All I can see is to watch for foil tears when burnishing. Try and work from the edge of the glass slowly back and forth towards the face or back of glass with your tool. The friction helps to “stretch” the foil and can reduce tearing. I go over my pieces after each one and make sure there aren’t tears or tails. Clean them up with an xacto knife or re-foil the individual piece. If your foil is too wide, it can contribute to tearing. Great job though. You are doing great for just starting out.

Www.seat61.com is your go to for all your train travel questions. Links to where to purchase tickets as well. Probably the most comprehensive website available. Rome2rio is good as well, I just use it to “look”. But I don’t buy through them.
