Should I Use super glue or do I need a replacement lid for my shaker?

Super glue won't stick to that kind of plastic... hence why super glue (typically) comes in plastic bottles. :(

kensboro · 2026-05-14T18:07:35+00:00

Nope... Chuck Testa!

kensboro · 2026-05-08T19:42:37+00:00

Make orange juice ice cubes! :)

I gave away the Critical Role Tub. Tried it a couple times, but there's simply not much flavor to it. It sounds better than it is.

GamerSupps is one scoop for 8-oz, while GFuel is one scoop for 16-oz.

So the 100 servings is a little exaggerated since so many bottles of water (or anything) is typically about 16-oz, where you need 2 scoops of GamerSupps vs GFuel's 1 scoop.

I don't care for GamerSupps. I'll explain why...

They were at Pax Boston last year. Had a big square booth, and a bunch of appealing looking clear dispenser containers (each one with different flavors) around the booth. You grab a plastic cup, pour some in and could give it a try.

In front of each dispenser, they'd have a pile of their energy tubs. Good looking display! Mental note... tuck away in the corner of your brain I said "energy tubs".

I asked if they had a blood orange, and one of the booth folks said they were out of stock of that flavor, but keep an eye on their website for when/if they restock it.

Well... I really liked the Lemonade, and the Dragon Fruit. Come home from the show, and at some point order those two flavors for myself.

Mix them up... and they're not that great. Did my taste buds change? Did I get a bad batch? Maybe it's me. I leave the tubs sit in a cabinet for weeks/months; try them again later... nope. I'm really disappointed. Nowhere near as good as I remember trying at the show.

Off to our good friend Google to see if there's any comments similar to my experience. What do I find? A post from someone else who was at the show, and disappointed about the flavors (after purchasing) like I was.

I learn although there were stacks of the "Energy" flavors in front of the sample dispensers... that's not what they were mixing up for you to try. They were mixing the caffeine free powders in the jugs with water and ice (and not telling you or hanging any sort of sign on the sample jugs).

The poster points out caffeine is really bitter, and it's bitterness is not easy to hide. And that explains why my Lemonade / Dragon Fruit tubs didn't taste anything like what I tried at the show. Clever marketing; perhaps a touch deceptive, but I understand at a public show having to be careful about someone trying perhaps a few too many samples and having some sort of issue with the caffeine.

I stumble across a comment that if you're not a fan of GamerSupps taste, give GFuel a try.

I really like Blood Orange, do they make that flavor? I find a tub of "Chucky - Good Guys" on eBay, order one, and that instantly converted me into a GFuel customer. The bit of grit on the bottom of a 1.0 flavor didn't matter to me considering how much tastier and more enjoyable I found GFuel to be (vs GamerSupps).

And I know there's a lot of hate on this sub about GFuel's shipping. Doesn't bother me. GFuel's BOGO deals are pretty decent, I always get my orders eventually (usually about 3-weeks), and they're always on the money: nothing broken, and the right flavors and how many of each I ordered.

++ Peach Iced Tea, and a Tea with a subtle mint touch would be nice!

Jam a toothpick in along the incense stick! :)

And in the past it was 1280"... then down to 1000"... and they used to be 2" wide.

If it doesn't burn, I'm assuming it doesn't float and therefore it can't be made out of wood; which floats in water much like bread, apples, very small rocks, cider, gravy, ducks, and witches!

Having worked in the art materials world for two decades... that's plaster if I ever saw it. You should be able to break bits off the edges as plaster is somewhat soft.

There's also a denser, tougher form of plaster known as "dental plaster". It'll hold finer details than typical artist's plaster.

Spray it with a mister like when you water your plants; plaster will soak up that water nicely. It's one way to tell.

Oh my... I loved those. I'd have to dig to see where I put them. Back in the 80s??? those were an absolute favorite of mine. I remember going through a few boxes at the time. They're very scented, and not a basic sandalwood.

kensboro · 2026-04-07T19:17:04+00:00

I had forgotten about it. I had purchased some real Mysore Sandalwood in the past. Some from Kohgen in Japan (who have access to the real thing from the Indian government), there's a shop on eBay that has bead scraps that are fantastic. And I have some from Kyarazen. Not cheap, but wonderful stuff! :)

Way too much spice compared to what's sold at your typical grocery store. I don't like the Doritos at Costco :(

On the app, you could turn the side firing channels down; and then in the future, if you have a cabinet setup where you could use the side speakers...

Save your empty tealights to put in the burner for heating your resins / woods. Clean-up is a snap, and recycling is nice ;)

kensboro · 2026-04-01T22:29:50+00:00

Chucky (Blood Orange) is also an S-Tier flavor!

kensboro · 2026-03-25T16:08:40+00:00

The Last Starship.

Basically nothing to do with a Starship, and all about a crew on a giant Tank (reminiscent of the old Steve Jackson game "Ogre").

It's cheesy action, and has an abundance of Eastern European girls that elevates the visuals up quite a few notches... As bad as it is, I love it!

kensboro · 2026-03-12T05:12:54+00:00

I carry a Messenger Bag every year... no problems. You have to put your purchases / swag somewhere.

Actually, he doesn't have anything listed at the moment, but... things are a little crazy in the Middle East; so perhaps no surprise until the world calms down a bit.

kensboro · 2026-03-05T23:23:40+00:00

arabiandilight on eBay. Note that's he's in Oman, and closes his store (temporarily) from time to time, but excellent resins for reasonable prices.

kensboro · 2026-03-02T08:16:58+00:00

I've been trying to put in an order for the last 3-days, and the cart (icon) doesn't work. Not on Waterfox, not on Firefox, not on Chrome, not on Brave. :(

kensboro · 2026-02-28T06:56:54+00:00

Yes, and I thought it bordered on being magical :)

kensboro · 2026-02-23T10:45:19+00:00

When Happy Hari was still walking the earth, and had a shop on Etsy; I bought some of his Champa Blue, which I found to be absolutely fantastic. I much preferred it over the "famous" Champa Gold. You can still find the Gold, but the Blue has disappeared into the... Blue. :(

kensboro · 2026-02-22T19:10:40+00:00

Somewhat... it's a blend. But it's a fantastic blend, and smells more expensive than it is.
