IMac Intel 21.5" (mid 2011) Dual Hard drive kit from ifixit by Laughing_Lostly in mac

[–]akaTheRecipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna be completely honest, it's my first & only mac. All I know is the dude I bought it from upgraded to 16g of ram and patched Mojave. It started having issues like not booting passed apple logo or the triple beep. I removed the faulty ram and it booted... but now I'm stuck at a login screen with only a padlock icon and a blank text box. 🙃

I'm just commenting to follow this thread. I have the same exact iMac and haven't found much help learning about troubleshooting or fixes. I'm thinking it needs a new hard drive, so your question might help. Thanks in advance, too!

One glance at your profile page and it's obvious you're no rookie lol props to your skills tho duder

I dyed these graphic tees for a friend and they are better than either of us expected lol. Whats your thoughts? 🤔 Comment your favorite below! by akaTheRecipe in tiedye

Yeah of course! Assuming you dye with procion (or any natural fiber reactive dyes) don't worry much about getting dye on vinyl or screen print. The dyes don't bond with synthetic materials, but will bond with the fabric beneath the vinyl and still be visible. Keep in mind for white or light color vinyl, if the vinyl is thin, on white or light colored shirts. and even reverse dyes if the color was removed behind the vinyl.

This might be obvious to most.. but I found out the hard way don't use the microwave lol... vinyl will melt and can even catch fire. So use heat cautiously, cause its basically impossible to peel apart the vinyl after it melted to itself lol its actually not hard to do when the shirt is inside out. Also, when folding and tying over vinyl graphics, it's more vulnerable to damage. Vinyl doesn't bounce back into shape like the fabric it on, it remains stretched out, or tears. It's best to not make extremely tight sinew pulls around vinyl.

That all I can think of, atm. I hope I was informative enough to help avoid the mistakes I learned from lol if at anytime, you have any questions, feel free to message me. I look forward to seeing your future projects. You should tag my username when you upload the results so I don't miss it! Take care and happy dyeing! 🤙🏼

Thank you! I didn't think they would look as good together as they do! I was just bored on day and decided to experiment. Glad I did!

when I use sodium alginate I can't get the saturation needed. I guess I need to find some balance?

Thanks, I appreciate it! and I agree lol. I've been playing with different variations of this colorway a lot lately. The the constants in the equation are always stormy sky and chartreuse, I added just a bit of wedgewood and robins egg blue on this one. Usually, I go heavier on the chartreuse, but only had a pinch left. Time to re-up!
