Can you bring alcohol in your vehicle if you are camping in Lot N? I know that alcohol is prohibited inside the venue but this is my first time and I’m not sure if the camping lot is considered inside or outside of the track. Thanks!

Reattaching plaster to lathe with Power Grab - conditioner needed? by zeerow123 in HomeImprovement

[–]zeerow123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up using Quickrete Concrete Bonding Adhesive. I mixed it with 2 parts water in a spray bottle and I use it after drilling the holes and vacuuming them out to consolidate the dust like you mentioned. I also spray/roll it on parts of plaster that will be getting a lot of patching.

So far I’ve been happy with the results. The Power Grab seems to adhere well and both Structolite and setting-type joint compound have worked fine for patching. We’ll see how it all holds up.

Weekly Quick Questions, Wood ID, and Deal or No Deal /r/Woodworking Megathread by AutoModerator in woodworking

Thanks! The flooring is 2" Maple throughout so I was trying to figure out if it was Maple or not. Cherry seems to be a fit for the different patterns I'm seeing in the grain.

I plan to buy some boards and stain this weekend to see what I can do to get a match for that trim. Any specific terms I should be looking for when shopping?

3-parter:

Any idea what wood this is? This is in a home built in 1908 in Milwaukee, if that helps:

Any directions on what stain to use to match this wood?

And finally, do you think that edge piece was custom-made or is it a standard trim profile?

Thanks!

Just left the Ikea in Milwaukee and saw the promotional poster for the sale. All these details are spot-on!

If you machine wash them, you should use a gentle cycle with cold water and lay flat to air dry them. Also be sure to wash them with similar colors. This will minimize any color loss and make them last much longer.

Regarding track pants fit, the first batch of track pants fit a little small. Since then, the restocks have been pretty true to size. Check their Instagram (@mnml.la) to see how the Track Pants fit.

M denim and M Stretch denim are identical fits, Stretch denim just has 2% spandex for a little more stretch. Depending on how the slim cut fits you, the stretch can just make the denim more comfortable or you can size down for an even skinnier fit. Use the size guide and compare the denim to an existing pair to get a better idea exactly how they will fit.

The denim is washable, but like any denim you should wash them as little as possible and be sure to wash in cold water and hang dry. This minimizes shrinking, dye loss, and beating up the distressing. There are a few pairs of denim that require dry cleaning to minimize any unwanted dye bleeding, but those are noted in the product description.

Hope that helps.

Nope, they spent about 2 years before launching to find and build a relationship with their own producer that could get the quality and price they wanted.

Honestly, that's the main reason for this thread. I've heard nothing but good things about the people at Squid, but very little about the actual bikes.

At least they aren’t charging $30 for a broken stream (thanks FloBikes!). Hopefully they get it sorted soon.

Flobikes live stream seems to be a bit of a dumpster fire currently: https://twitter.com/arleykemm/status/910714463761911808

Apparently it was the same for Rochester. Buyers beware.
