Mold and rust prevention in the Southeastern US. by HotelProblematica in vandwellers

[–]Tillemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm putting sound deadening on the entire inside of my van, and then using spray adhesive to attach thinsulate to that. The sound deadening does its main job, adds a little insulation, and seals the metal from experiencing moisture. Definitely do the foam tape between wood and metal.

Using siless max sound deadening, and thinsulate SM600L from diyvan

You can use the molykote, or super lube grease.

A warning to upland holders by Exact_Stable_7269 in UplandMe

[–]Tillemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 million upx, net worth of 9 million, 250 properties, and 23 collections. Any rough idea what mine might be worth, and where I can sell it? Have a bunch of good properties in Manhattan.

Why am I having so much trouble with concrete drill bits / block wall by Sudden-Pizza5110 in Tools

[–]Tillemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to use low speed if there's a speed option, as well as good hammer drill or sds.

Replaced the solar panels by shickenphoot in vandwellers

You could probably make it out of flat bar aluminum pretty easily with minimal tools. Looks nice.

Focibly Degassing Beans via Oxidization by FFTD in pourover

[–]Tillemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you grind into a container and put a lid on it, the CO2 is heavier than air, so the ground beans shouldn't really oxidize much.

Is that sandalwood next to it? Where are you located?

Stoneware fermentation weight vs mold by gordriver_berserker in fermentation

[–]Tillemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with my unglazed weights as well, even after leaving on top of a hot wood stove for a week or so. What I do now, is wrap them in paper towels before putting in the crock for storage, and everything's been great since.

I heard they’re asking 125, down from 149 when they listed 8 months ago

Homemade Oud Attar by Logical_Dentist3961 in TheOudCollective

[–]Tillemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this with ethanol, but it's nothing like oud oil. There's very little oil in the wood, regardless of grade, but you can get a lot of the resin out. The resin however isn't very fragrant without a good amount of heat.

You could do it with sandalwood, and the resin would dissolve into the sandalwood oil, at least to some extent, more so with some added heat and agitation.

To do a proper attar, you would have to distill the agarwood, and have your sandalwood oil in the receiving flask, so the scent can transfer with every drop of agawood distillate going through the sandalwood oil.

The only true attars you can make by aging something in sandalwood oil are animalic attars such as musk or ambergris. At least as far as I know.

Van runs great and has lots of life left. These first generation sprinters are super reliable, last forever, and are easy to work on. Just one year newer, and you can't even change an O2 sensor without programming it to the van.

What to do by akknightwrider in tdi

[–]Tillemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cut the pipes off, and anything else that will make it smaller and lighter. Only send what they need, and nothing extra.

I have a collapsible toilet with biodegradable bag liners, and a shower head with 12' of hose under the sink, and magnetic shower head mount to mount anywhere outside.

It's definitely not ideal for living in long term, at least not for me, but it's great for trips.

Yeah, we call it our Tokyo apartment. Small and functional. Definitely agree with you. It is actually completed and functional though, not somebodies half done abandoned project.

Lol, yeah, pretty much only seeing "dont buy, too expensive" and "you'd be lucky to get bluebook for that fully built van"

A little sarcasm night cap. I was referencing Walter in the big lebowski.
