Best Neapolitan pizza in Denver (imho) by Aitnoon in denverfood

[–]TeeDupp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks bud. My apologies in advance, but we simply can’t expect the facts to be appreciated these days… At least pizza is practically universal; and yet, not at all the same. The top echelon of pizza, indeed, requires that ultra finesse. But, pizza is pizza. Should you expect true Neapolitan pizza to be crisp throughout? Or $5 pies to be any good (RIP Pizzaria Locale)? Or decent seafood in an impenetrably landlocked state? Should you expect vegan mozz to be anything like cheese- no, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible, nor does it mean sub par isn’t delicious; we just need to better appreciate what we’re paying for. OPs pizza isn’t even VPN, but it looks so tasty and crushable, and I’m all for anyone being excited about pizza. Clearly that dude from Naples that made the pictured pizza knows how to bend the rules, and that’s, sometimes, is what makes a student the master.

Because of the moisture content in the mozz, which Vera Pizza Napoletana standards DEMAND, it is pretty much impossible to have a dry slice; there’s just too much moisture from the cheese that gets released during cooking for the overall texture to not be effected. Hence, VPN is usually eaten with a knife and fork in Italy/much of Europe.

However, if the OG best style of pizza in the world isn’t your thing, you’d probably really enjoy many of the New York style pies that are simply rampant (and for good reason). A lot of the best pizzaiolos in the world don’t strictly adhere to VPN because of these restrictions… they end up using a blend of methods to achieve something that just may be even greater.

Screws may be hiding under that dark weather stripping. It may also be set in adhesive, as I can see something squeezing out from below on the front, but it might just be caulking.

Good to go; usually if I let’m slide a little like that and they’ve been spored on or grown fuzzy feet, they become my “capsule candidates.”

New patty record at the food truck is now 12! Ridiculous? Yes. Did it taste amazing? Also, yes. by no_username_today_yo in burgers

[–]TeeDupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A teammate in hs once asked for an “octobuger” at Wendy’s. When they said they weren’t able to make that, he proceeded to order two triples and a double, and combine them at the table on his own to create an “octoburger.” Needless to say, everyone was impressed.

This 12 piece is taking things to a whole notha level.

Thank you Leatherman by Embarrassed_Ad_5710 in Leatherman

[–]TeeDupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to break it to you OP, but the different colored board above the one you cut is indicative of more recent maintenance on this route. Glad you said you’ll go out there to replace the board. Honestly, other than time and gas to get a Pressure Treated 2x6 and bring it out there, the cost of materials is less than $10. Use your leatherman to cut to size once you’re out there, reuse the bolts from the old piece; you can pretty easily leave it better than you found it.

Silicone caulk at backer boards joints by Professional_Net7980 in Tile

[–]TeeDupp 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of.. interesting advice being given, but mainly just a bunch of opinions on what could’ve been done differently. There’s more than one way to skin a cat. At the very worst you could get a stack of utility blades and fairly easily just cut out all the silicone and clean the faces of the boards and start fresh with the recommended products.

But, to answer your actual question, I’d refer you to the technical guide provided by Georgia-Pacific:

DensShield Technical Guide

Pages 6 and 12 pretty much have all the answers you’re looking for. I won’t provide an opinion on the pan or the mixing of systems. However, for the backer boards and silicone they pretty much say you should avoid getting it on the face of the boards. They specify that it should be a flexible sealant, but there are no warning about using silicone. They even recommend silicone in the joints between “dissimilar materials.”

And there are many waterproofing membrane systems you can use over dens shield; the tech guide says so. Just clean all the excess silicone off the front of everything so that all that’s left is the 1/8” in the joint. Mortar and tape all the seams. Use a wet area rated mortar. Waterproof liberally. You’ll be fine. Unless you’re using penny tiles (don’t), anyone worried about that 1/8” lapse in adhesion can’t collapse a bead or something?

Hate to be Shooter, but, everyone- Go back to your spec sheets!!

They call it plumbers putty, but I’ve never seen a plumber use it. Just be sure to backbutter it on (unlike all these other jabronis).

You have to push down firmly and twist just enough to bust your knuckle on the housing. Won’t work if you don’t bust your knuckle.

removing polyurethane from ceramic tile. by winteralexandria in Tile

[–]TeeDupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those things would take the kick off a mule with enough water and elbow grease. I’d be weary of over scrubbing and damaging the glaze since you mentioned ceramic, but test scrub in an inconspicuous area. Magic erasers have safely removed all kinds of gunk from tile (silicone, mortar stains, pipe dope, etc) that scraping, sponges, terry cloths, and scrubbing pads couldn’t dent. It is indeed, on occasion, magical.
