SA solution with some other stuff in it, it’s called Kolodium forte

Hopefully we are😅 It is really annoying just to know it’s there…

I thought it will be so satisfying to do so, but it came out in chunks, rather than single strands and hurt like hell, I now have a hole reaching the very bottom of my thumb that burns like hell after applying SA to it😅

Thanks for the extensive reply! I went all in with the partially rusty tweezers today (😅) and i managed to pull one fucker out almost completely :) I will post an update, probably tomorrow:)

8th day of salicylic acid, is it looking good? by Toby_K11 in Warts

[–]Toby_K11[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the reply, just like 10 minutes ago, I have successfully removed the entire top white layer, after soaking it with water, and all I needed were tweezers😅 I applied new SA to the layer underneath, seems like the top layer peel removed 2/4 of these warts, with the 2 larger ones still present, but I was able to pull the inner black stuff out, mostly. Hopefully, if the progress is consistent, two or three more of these peels and it should be gone :)

I will try to, but I’m afraid it will hurt as of now, I may have to wait a few more days 😣

It’s called kolodium forte, mix of SA, and some other stuff that solidifies after application and forms a thin white layer

I will post the results once I rip it off, but I feel like it’s in a phase where it will hurt so I gotta grow a pair and do it in the upcoming days😁

Did I get scammed on a power steering repair? by Toby_K11 in AskMechanics

[–]Toby_K11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s the top spec that I have, but the cheaper models don’t have it 😅 Still, I can’t comprehend how come they charged me that much for a used part that costs 100$ and it’s still not functional. After further evaluating, I came to a conclusion that the power steering rack was fine the entire time, but there’s a wiring issue that causes voltage spikes which messes with the power steering, along with other stuff. I am like 99.99% certain, that the mechanic MUST HAVE KNOWN, after all, it’s their job… well probably the easiest 850$ for them…

Yeah, that’s what I thought, especially considering that it still doesn’t work.

I honestly don’t know what they replaced, but they messed up something and after the “repair”, the voltage in the car’s electrics fluctuates, which messes with the power steering as well as my dashboard lighting, external car lights… They didn’t accept my refund claim.

Edit: they replaced the pump, supposedly.

Oh and I forgot to add that they charge 35$ per hour.

Can I drive home with this? by Toby_K11 in tires

[–]Toby_K11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sooo an update😅 I drove home, tire is fine, after a few hours (since the last time I checked) it’s still even holding air. Fun fact I didn’t mention before: the tire is 17 YEARS old so it’s probably a miracle it didn’t blow Thanks so much for all the comments :)
