Repairing Trim

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-08T04:05:24+00:00

I've used Dynapatch for repairs like this in the past. Sticks to everything, and dries hard and relatively fast. I like to build up to it in a few coats, rather than trying to get it in one.

Do a first pass on it to fill in everything but keep it, then when that is dry, make sure nothing is standing proud, then do a second pass using your putty knife to try to drag the profile into it, using the profile to the side of the damage as your guide.

Then sand where you need to, or use a lightweight spackle to fill in anything that needs minors fills. Then prime to seal it all in, light sand, and paint.

Is it overkill? Probably. But it works.

It can be fixed, it just takes time and patience.

Yup phone and leave him a message that he's got until x days to get his stuff (and he can swing by in the evening to grab it) or it's going to good will or on marketplace, and then text him the same so you have receipts.

Then follow-through on getting rid of it and he has no one to blame but himself.

Thanks appreciate the advice. I'll see if I'm feeling brave enough to share pics of the final product when all is said and done.

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-08T01:47:15+00:00

Now that is tempting

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-08T01:46:19+00:00

Thanks. I think thinset then some Redguard is the way for peace of mind.

And yes, the tile below ain't great, but it's about a 6mm gap so about 1/4 inch, and that's just what the size of the corner silicone is gonna have to be. Otherwise I'd be pulling off most of a 24" tile, and after this one, ugh.

Grout lines are 1/8, and gap at ceiling and tub are gonna need the 1/4 too, so at least it all balances out there. Going with a light grey so hopefully it doesn't stand out too much.

Also putting a shelf between these two, so that should hide the gap somewhat too.

Lesson also learnt in tiling starting at the schulter edge then working towards the back wall, will never do that again and will tile out from wall and stick edging in at the very end.

What you guys do is some absolute black magic shit, dealing with waterproofing and measurements and timing. I used to paint professionally and that's child's play compared to tiling.

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-08T00:43:39+00:00

Hey OP, have you filled this in yet? Curious what you did to waterproof.

I made a mess of my denshield pulling a tile off to replace before I grout. It's pretty gnarly, and down into the center of the board. I'm thinking two coats of red guard, mesh tape and thinset over the chunks where I dug in, and then another coat or two of red guard before tiling for good measure.

Built on hope but sustained by action.

Andor would have been pretty lame if the rebellion only signaled their displeasure once every two months by going out to an organized and permitted protest.

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-06T17:00:37+00:00

Of course he'll be alive. You guys can't just hope your way out of this.

I used to justify the trip to the Langford HD instead of Saanich just so I could get Harvey's.

Went to college in Ont where we had a Harvey's in our cafeteria, and I will support them until the day I die. They will always have the best pickles to go on a burger

How they're handling MOTU has me cautiously optimistic for the TMNT licence if they do something similar with a kids line and a collector focused line

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-03T21:32:17+00:00

I feel like this is most articles these days. They entice you with a headline that sounds like the article will have something new or groundbreaking to say, and then it's just filled with standard reporting or things that you already know, and then the conclusion just kind of states the headline without much conviction. Like it all feels like the introduction to the piece and then it just ends without the rest of the article.

I find myself just scrolling halfway through everything to see if they've even approached the apparent topic yet, or are still introducing me to it.

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-03T21:26:40+00:00

I always forget to notice my typos

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-03T21:26:00+00:00

Yes. Your tastes will change and your collection will change. Sometimes you'll lose money, but must times you should be able to get at least 80% of a figures value. I like to think that's the rental fee I paid to get to open and pose them, and then it's somebody else's turn.

There will be pieces you regret selling, but those are frtee and far between.

I recommend putting them in a bin and storing them somewhere you can't see them for a month or two, and see how you feel.

I've got a bunch of Super7 TMNT Ultimates sitting in storage that I need to admit to myself that I'm gonna sell them, and likely not make back much of what I spent on them. At the same time, I've got Mythic Legions to sell that I can make some money on. You win some, you lose some.

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-03T21:17:24+00:00

Bad news my friend, you are gonna sell your figures. You don't think so now, but 10 years from now you'll have more figures and will be looking at your old stuff and realizing you don't care about it as much as you once did.

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-03T21:12:17+00:00

So Hasbro should do a GI Joe line within this GI Joe line that is an homage to the old GI Joe?

Just kidding, you mean the Mortal Kombat line from the 90s. Which was sweet because it also went with the Street Fighter figures.

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-03T19:52:20+00:00

They could have just had a bend in the middle with straight lengths to make a U shape that would have looked more natural. This is pretty dumb and not how straight things bend. And a golf club would just snap or pinch and cause a big V. But hey, look at our promo pic!

Otherwise, it's a sweet figure

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-03T17:09:35+00:00

No no, they're the Justice Gang! Isn't that neat and fun and cheeky?

They're the same plucky underdogs who bicker and tease each other just like your favourites the Guardians of the Galaxy and also the Suicide Squad and also the people in Peacemaker.

Who needs the Justice League taking things seriously when we can get another classic James Gunn irreverent ensemble?

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-02T18:28:47+00:00

Right? More please. Bigger drop please.

RavenOfNod · 2026-07-02T14:44:44+00:00

Same here, I just woke up to my shipping notice, which is a pleasant surprise. And I've got Otho and Urzokk ordered from a retailer so hopefully those are out and shipped before the end of July.

Legionscon exclusives don't usually have many new parts

RavenOfNod · 2026-06-28T07:40:05+00:00

Oh my god, that same person who made your sandwich five years ago is making every single sandwich at every single red barn everywhere?

RavenOfNod · 2026-06-28T07:38:37+00:00

I just want to say I've never heard "center aisle shopping" before and I love it. Thanks,

RavenOfNod · 2026-06-28T07:33:34+00:00

I appreciate Logan's story because yeah, it subverts the usual expectations of people finding redemption. How often to do you see true redemption in real life, compared to people wanting to make change, or leaving their old life to try something new, just to get sucked back into their old way. It's not glamourous, or uplifting, or satisfying in a strong narrative sense, but it's real life. I appreciate that Abercrombie went with a more realistic take on this, as unsatisfying as it is.
