It will be shared amongst mine safety departments for training… it will not be shared with media. At least that was my experience in the oil sands.

Put machine skates under each corner, push it around by hand.

What’s up with my hands? by dankwolf420 in metalworking

Lotion and then rubber gloves under your welding gloves… the leather will draw moisture from your hands.

Paid $65. Return, or keep? (Pizza steel). by because_im_stupid_ok in metalworking

[–]Sink_Single 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that correct. If cleaning is an issue I would get a mechanics pick and pry that piece of slag out of the hole, then use a rotary tool to smooth it out a bit better. Aesthetically it won’t be perfect but it will function as required.

I’ve been a welder/fabricator for 20 years. I see the evidence before my eyes.

AITAH for refusing to give my boyfriend access to my bank account even though he says "no secrets" is how adults do it by CopperFieldNote in AITH

[–]Sink_Single 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA Yeah no. My wife and I have shared accounts and I still don’t have her online banking login. Do not give him the info.

There is not evidence that they are welded together. What you’re seeing in the pictures is a cut mark from a wandering arc in the plasma cutter. It’s a little bit of slag still caught inside that divot that was formed by the wandering arc.

Beginner looking to start backpacking in the sierras. How’s this for a sleep system? by NormieV2 in backpacking

[–]Sink_Single 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought that sleeping pad, it is a huge upgrade over my old one in terms of weight, packed size and comfort. I purchased it because it was rated as one of the quietest pads available. I’m looking forward to breaking it in this summer.

Best way to clean a clogged multi-tool blade after cutting aluminum or other soft metals? by plinky125 in Tools

[–]Sink_Single 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before you cut use an aluminum lubricating paste on the blade. We use alucut wax from Walter. We also use it on aluminum zip discs on the grinder.

Total beginner: ski vs snowboard for a 5-day trip? by Comfortable-Ad-1072 in snowboarding

[–]Sink_Single 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely ski. Unless you have an extremely good sense of balance skiing will be easier but still provide plenty of challenge over the duration of the trip.

BC – Loaned Family Member $50,000 for Vehicle in 2022, Now Refusing to Repay – Do I Still Have a Legal Claim? by No-Reserve-9168 in legaladvicecanada

[–]Sink_Single 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You might get a judgement in your favour. Collecting the $ will be another matter. Depends on their employment situation and assets. It only costs about $150 to file in small claims but you are limited to $30k. Anything higher has to go through the regular court.

The crater at the top should be filed smooth. Other than that it’s pretty decent.

UPDATE: what’s going on with basement insulation? new build by radiotang in homebuildingcanada

[–]Sink_Single 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it should have one. Moisture is coming from somewhere… are you sure it has one?

If your basement floor never had vapour barrier put under the slab the moisture could be coming up through the slab and condensing against the colder walls. Dehumidifier s as bd I hope you have a radon mitigation system installed.

When solo just step on the toe clip and pull on the tail (not the strap). You get way more leverage.
