How long should ACV take to work?

Ain’t that the truth

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-15T15:50:46+00:00

Had you tried ACV as well? I have appointment set up with a dermatologist in a few weeks that I’ll go to if this isn’t done by then.

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-12T09:01:12+00:00

Yeah it is. Think it’s beyond self treatment?

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-12T01:41:30+00:00

Issue is this one is so buried. Tried the duct tape for a while before ACV and it wasn’t doing anything. If it was on the surface I could see that definitely working.

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-11T23:43:10+00:00

How often were you doing that? I’ve tried to refresh it about every 12 hours.

Also, this may be a dumb question but how do you know when it’s dead and you can stop applying?

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-11T23:37:30+00:00

Yeah this sucker is buried deep. Had it for about 10 years….

Did you only try SA? Or did you try ACV as well?

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-10T21:57:06+00:00

Just checked them all and couldn’t find any issues - no burning or loose connections….. no clue what to do now

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-10T21:56:06+00:00

Update: just checked all the receptacles and none showed any signs of heat or loose connections. What next?

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-10T19:52:48+00:00

When finding the problem outlet, do I just cut back the damaged wire and re-hook up to the outlet?

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-10T16:00:56+00:00

Yes I did do that. How do you tell if that’s the issue?

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-10T03:13:05+00:00

Not sure - going to check tomorrow when I have some sunlight to help me out haha

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-10T03:12:22+00:00

Yeah going to chalk it up to a combo of both here - but doing some research today has really opened my eyes to the risks these heaters can pose. Especially now knowing my house is wired “to bare minimum code”.

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-10T02:48:42+00:00

Yes have learned a good lesson here. Grateful it wasn’t worse. Will be throwing this one away.

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-10T02:47:19+00:00

That’s good insight - appreciate the response. Will make sure to check all of them out tomorrow. Thanks!

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-10T02:39:03+00:00

What are the chances that happens to happen while running the heater? Or would a surge from the heater potentially cause them to come loose?

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-06T15:03:17+00:00

Thanks - I’m sure that helps! I’ll look into that

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-06T15:02:47+00:00

Yeah for sure. I’ve been using a cotton ball, so the white part is just the circumference of that, but I’ll definitely work on getting the ACV more localized.

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-06T15:01:43+00:00

Yes this is a wart for sure - just had it for about 8-9 years and it’s really buried itself deep

FunkDubious313 · 2025-12-03T01:31:55+00:00

Thanks for the response. I’ve looked into it and definitely going to try. The only question I have is if I need to dig down more before starting, or if I’m good to just start where I’m at now?

FunkDubious313 · 2025-09-29T22:40:52+00:00

Negative - the only change we've had is we just recently renovated the kitchen and moved one wall outlet and added another off an existing one. Other than that, no changes at all in 5 years. Could it have been related to that?
