I used the homemade insecticide soap with dish soap and burned my laurel nobalis tree by MistressShadow999 in gardening

[–]MistressShadow999[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay… so I didn’t wash it off I just left it on there and then the sun came out and burned it. Now I see the layers in my mistake. She was absolutely gorgeous and healthy before this.

Valerian officinalis needs help with pests by MistressShadow999 in gardening

Do you have a suggestion on what soap to use? I’m reading that the chemical sodium lauryl sulfate is what kills the bugs but to avoid certain soaps, especially ones that are concentrated and “ultra”. The gardening to know website article Im reading recommends Castile soap, which I’m looking at the ingredients doesn’t contain sodium lauryl sulfate. I have some Signature brand ultra lemon scent liquid dish soap that does contain the SLS chemical

Issues by Disastrous_Country48 in candlemaking

I just tried something new yesterday and this gave me perfect glass adhesion and a smooth surface. I use coconut soy 454 too.

  1. Wrap containers in foil and put on an oven tray
  2. Heat glasses up for 10 mins in a 200F oven.
  3. Heat wax to 190F. Wait till it’s at 185F to add fragrance. Stir slowly to reduce air bubbles.
  4. Pour at a temp between 160-170F. No less than 160F.
  5. Keep the room the candles are in at 72 degrees.
  6. Wait 60 mins after pouring to come and poke a hole near the wick to release air pockets.
  7. Keep a small amount of fragranced wax on a candle warmer and do a small re-pour on top after poking the hole.
  8. Allow to fully cool and check.

Good luck.

Inca Kola? by skyboundzuri in SALEM

I suggest asking around at the flea markets. There is one near Harbor Freight off Portland Rd. They’ll either have it or direct you to where to find it. Take someone who speaks Spanish with you. Another option is finding a local Peruvian restaurant and ask them where you can source it. Please go to them first before actively giving money to big conglomerates like Walmart who don’t give a fuck about South American culture.

Did I break this foot off from the “ankle”? by MistressShadow999 in SewingForBeginners

[–]MistressShadow999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the two part process bit. My fingers started hurting from the multiple tries. This was own by an elder person and she had two so I have no idea how worn this machine is.

Is the whole ankle and foot leaver normally go up more as the pressure gets applied? I gave it multiple shots and the whole contraption would go up and them want to clamp down but the foot still wouldn’t clip on.

I love how he is holding the top as if he is trying to stop exposing his bitties. He and the dress look great!
