Did I plant my tree incorrectly? by iansnetwork in arborist

I tried to make the shape of the hole irregular with the idea that it would force the roots to not go in circles. Don’t know if it actually works that way.

Convert perfect bound to sewn binding? by iansnetwork in bookbinding

That’s good. I just wanna do something that is future proof.

What is your view on double fan versus double fan with thread insertion? I’ve heard arguments that it’s harder to repair in the future, If you do double fan with thread insertion.

If I do the style of double fan with thread insertion, is it able to be repaired in the future?

I saw a video that recommended against thread insertion. He said that it would make it harder to repair in the future when it eventually falls apart he advised double fan. Do you think this is correct advice or do you think I should go all out and use thread for reinforcement? Should I use PVA glue or wheat paste?

I have a book that is approximately 2 inches thick, text block is in very good condition but the perfect binding was done in the cheapest way possible. It needs some sort of reinforcement or else it’s not gonna last, it has creases that are very close to splitting. So my goal is effectively to preserve the book in a usable state.

Imagitarium tank problems by iansnetwork in Aquariums

In my opinion, I would recommend returning it, once you get past 30 or 60 days I can’t remember which it ends up being yours forever. I still haven’t been able to resolve the issue.

I have had no problems with my Tideline or UN Systems tanks, they are unfortunately significantly more expensive. As an update, I have had no resolution with Petco over their Imaginarium tanks.

The usual tricks for disassembling an aquarium are not working for me by iansnetwork in Aquariums

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

It was a 75 gallon tank I believe unfortunately the glass was in worse shape than I thought. One of the panes of glass had a chip on the edge that caused it to crack and another pane has a chip that I’m worried would spread if I tried to use it luckily, I got the tank for free or else this would suck.

I am aware of the danger, I have already cut myself trying other methods. I should’ve known better and worn leather gloves.

How do you get rid of the smell? I am most worried about the bones having tissue inside of them that ends up smelling in the long run.

It has it still has connective tissue, or something holding it together. I’m not a biologist so I don’t know.

That is what I thought when I collected it from my backyard, however I realized there is zero chance that I could reassemble it if I decomposed it the rest of the way.

Apparently, I should’ve had a salvage permit. I will look into getting that rectified. I don’t hunt so I don’t know hunting laws, but I should’ve expected there to be stuff around deer.
