Reddit mentions: The best craft supplies

Ok. Did some reading.

I'm not going to sugar coat this because well, I don't believe in that.

Welcome to the dark side. We have goldfish crackers. (BTW my roommate was an aide for 20 years and said that they are convenient because if they are attacking you, you can throw them at them and it will distract them for a while.) Invest in goldfish crackers and fruit loops. They make good rewards.

Buy this book. I really wish someone had recommended me that book before I stepped into an autism classroom. I reread it now every once in a while and still learn new things.

Start here. Go through the rest of her blog. Subscribe to it. She runs an excellent easy to understand blog.

Visuals are insanely important. Subscribe to LessonPix. Your school may have Board Maker, but I find it very difficult to use. Plus, LessonPix is online based so you can create something at home and then access it at school or vice versa. It is like $36 a year, which is insanely cheap. For my visuals, I usually put a picture with the word on the bottom.

You will need velcro. Do not buy it from a store. This is a wholesale place online. They have the cheapest velcro out there. I buy coins so I don't have to cut it, it makes it a lot easier. If you are going to cut velcro, get titanium scissors. They will not gum up when cutting velcro. Have a system with your velcro so you don't have random patterns of velcro. I usually do soft on a surface and rough on anything that travels.

You are going to need a personal laminator. My binding has the cheapest 5 mil laminating sheets out there. Use 5 mil for anything that travels and if its going to stay on a wall, use 3 mil. 3 mil or 1 mil (what the school laminating machine uses) tears easily and doesn't last. Once you create something, you don't want to lose it. Most any laminator will do. I like the Fellowes brand. This is a very good one. That my binding website has some awesome deals on laminators. Whatever you get, just make sure it doesn't need a carrier sleeve to laminate because those are annoying. Just make sure that if you from 5 mil to 3 mil you switch the laminator over to 3 mil and let it cool or there will be a burning smell. To save time I bought one of these. Just makes cutting faster.

Don't overspend on stuff for the classroom. Look at oriental trading post. You can find a lot of stuff there. Sign up for the newsletter and wait from a free shipping coupon, don't pay for shipping.

Get yourself a couple pairs of these. I like the 18 inch ones. Make sure your tetnus shot is up to date.

You probably need to brush up on your evidence based practices for autism too.

I know this is a lot of information. But these are all things I wish people would have told me before I started teaching this level of autism kiddos. I went into it blind. I've had to put all this together through reading, training, and observation. Its easier just to be front loaded with the information.

My first year teaching, I was put in a K-1 mod/severe autism class (your setting 3). It was the first autism specific class at the school. Nobody gave me any support. I had no idea what I was doing. I had very little formal training on autism specific teaching. It was like being sucked into a vortex in deep water with nobody around to help me. I didn't even know where to go for information. That's why I try to help people and be completely honest. I'm not trying to overwhelm you.

If you need help and support, let me know. My MA.Ed is in Special Ed with a specialty in Autism Spectrum Disorder. I am teaching a class similar to yours at an elementary school level next year. I'm really good at dealing with behaviors and data too.

When I got home and looked at your link more closely, I realized that it is a T430-focused guide that I had already found with Google. It's a good guide, but it is lacking the T430s specific answers I was looking for. Thank you for quoting that post from the user who swapped palm-rests + keyboards between T430s and T420s, good to get confirmation on that route working well.

I found a guide auf Deutsch covering the FHD screen mod on T430s specifically. It is excellent, and readable enough through Google translate, but we should have a guide in English as well. I took a ton of pictures as I did the FHD upgrade and T420 keyboard fitment, so I will be posting up a detailed guide / comparison for both.

 

When I had my laptop apart again yesterday while installing the FHD screen (I'm over the moon about that upgrade), I decided to try again with just jamming the unmodified T420 keyboard into the T430s palm rest. While the T420 keyboard doesn't quite fit right with its much thicker tabs, I was barely able to secure it in place after fighting to get one of the misaligned screw holes to bite, and somehow without cross-threading it!

I think a lot of folks would be unhappy with this solution however, as the bottom right-hand corner of the T420 keyboard ends up pretty bouncy due to its tab(s) not being secured into the palm rest. But for me, so far this issue isn't bothering me enough to do anything about it. I'd rather not risk metal shavings going into the T420 keyboard from taking a Dremel to its tabs. Actually, as I'm typing this, the noise from the loosely mounted keyboard bouncing from using the cursor keys is starting to bother me a bit. I may end up getting out the Dremel in the end.

 

Side note: from my comparison the T420 keyboard actually appears far superior to the T430 keyboard as far as chassis water resistance. The water drain holes line up perfectly, and the T420 keyboard forms a shallow tub with "walls" around its periphery. The T430 keyboard is just completely flat, and makes no effort to channel water directly into the drain holes, and has holes in it to boot, where the T420 keyboard has a contiguous sticker covering its entire bottom. Folks with T430/s: get the T420 keyboard, it is worth it in every way!

 

There's so much more that I want to say about the T420 keyboard upgrade, and about the upgraded T430s being such a great option for a "new" laptop even in 2018. I will make a separate post about my T430s upgrades. But so far I am unsurprisingly in love with the T420 keyboard, and its superior TrackPoint nipple and buttons.

I also put some patches of peel-and-stick real, black suede onto the palm rest, which feels beyond amazing. When typing at maximum speed, I'm not resting my palms at all. But when typing casually, which is most of the time for me, I definitely am enjoying the suede immensely!

 

Thanks again for your help!

Scavenger hunts are too much fun! I should be working! RAWR! Thanks for the fun break =]


1.) Something that is grey. My name is makeup and I am grey! WL

2.) Something reminiscent of rain. This color is called "Naughty Nautical". Nautical = water, water = rain. =D?? WL

3.) Something food related that is unusual. Pretty sure most people don't have teeney shaped veggie cutters. WL

4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!) This is for my two parrots! My quaker especially loves dried papaya. I'm teaching her how to fly right now and have been using food as a reward, but we ran out of papaya a couple of weeks ago, and our local bird store has been out of stock for a long time. Turns out that Whole Foods doesn't carry dried papaya either. Rawr! WL


5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it! The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I had heard about this when the movie came out in English. I liked the movie and then moved on with my life. Come this spring, I found myself facing a LOT LOT LOT of driving by myself, so I started borrowing audiobooks from the library. I borrowed all three of these books and REALLY enjoyed them. It wasn't at all what I expected. They're murder mysteries with a lot of themes about violence against women. When I learned about the author, it became that much more interesting. The author wrote these books with the intention of making 10, but died after the third one. They found them after he died. The themes about sexual violence stem from a gang rape he witnessed as a teenager. He never forgave himself for not being able to help her, so he channeled all those emotions into his writing later in life. Anyway.....interesting stuff. Good books. I recommend them :)


6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related! Pfft.


7.) Something related to cats. I love cats! (keep this SFW, you know who you are...) If I was a cat, this would be my JAM!


8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it. Dresses are admittedly useful for avoiding public indecency charges, but not really useful beyond that. BUT LOOK AT THE RAINBOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WL


9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why? Not on my wishlist (it's on American Netflix though!), but everyone should be aware of the impact of plastic on the environment and our bodies. Education is everything. Plus, there's a newborn baby at the end.


10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain. 1. Stab zombie in the skull. 2. ??? 3. Profit. The reviews rave that it's super sharp and doesn't stick so it probably wouldn't get stuck in their skull like other knives. WL


11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. I don't know if I'd use the word profound, but it would sure help me out. A big passion of mine is learning to ID birds. I'm pretty good at most birds, but finding information on juveniles is VERY difficult sometimes. I've used this book before to help identify birds in hand, but I think the information regarding juvenile plumage would help me identify young birds from afar. It's even part of my job to identify birds! WL


12.) One of those pesky Add-On items. This is an Add-On item, but it's also a hair addon =P Not on my WL, but I'm losing my hair like crazy so I might have to look into these >.>


13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why? This isn't the most expensive item on my list (that was #8), but it's the one that would help me the most! When I do field work, I tend to have a lot of gear on me at once, and the extra strain of binoculars around my neck tends to give me some really freaking sore muscles. A harness would be MUCH easier on my shoulders/neck/back. I start field work again in October, so I plan on buying it for myself by then anyway =] WL


14.) Something bigger than a bread box. EDIT A bread box is typically similar in size to a microwave. This is larger than the average bread box.

15.) Something smaller than a golf ball. I am smaller than a golf ball! WL

16.) Something that smells wonderful. This smells amazing!!! I'm infatuated with cinnamon, but had to stop using cinnamon Crest YEARS ago because I developed a bad reaction to it. This stuff is expensive, but the company is very environmentally responsible and I feel good giving my business to them. WL


17.) A (SFW) toy. This seems pretty SFW unless you're playing Cards Against Humanity. evil grin WL


18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school. I used sticky notes all the time in school! WL


19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be. I've obsessed with birds since I was 11. I've been obsessed with rainbows forever. I'm currently obsessed with sushi. THIS IS ALL THREE! WL


20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand. Hear me out! This baby can keep ice for DAYS. Sitting out in the sun for hours on end? NO PROBLEM! YOU'LL HAVE ICE AT THE END OF THE DAY!! Seriously, Thermos needs to pay me for how much I rave about their stuff. My water bottle has still had ice in it after three days AND being refilled twice. No joke.

BONUS
This beauty was made in OR.


fear cuts deeper than swords. She is my favorite character by far :)

If he is a big warhammer collector and painter then it may not be a good idea to get him a random model as he may already have it or dislike that particular model. I'd suggest that you consider putting several smaller things in a box for him.

Here are some alternatives to an individual model that he may enjoy:

-Primers and paints (you can buy the GW brand paints, but I'd recommend Vallejo). A mix of metal paints (copper, brass, gold, silver, steel) would be a nice gift. And every painter always needs black so that would be a nice thing to add on.

-Paint brushes. A few very fine brushes would be helpful. Look for sizes 0, 5/0 and 10/0.

-If you know that he airbrushes you could buy him a bottle of 70 isp alcohol to add to any grouping of things you give him.

-Warhammer books are always a nice gift. If you can tell us if he collects Warhammer 40K (scifi) or Warhammer (medieval aesthetic) we can recommend books.

-Something like this would be a nice gift for him if he puts together a lot of models: http://www.amazon.com/Xacto-X5282-Basic-Knife-Set/dp/B00004Z2UB/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1415106833&sr=8-2&keywords=xacto

-A warhammer themed t shirt (you can find them on etsy and ebay).

• Helix Circle Maker (~$8, use this a lot).
  
• This set of 48 skinny washi tape (be aware that the image DOES represent the products. I liked all but 3 of the tapes, and only one-third had gold foil patterns).
  
• Sakura Pigma Micron pens (I use 01 and 08 the most).
  
• Tombow Fudenosuke brushpens (I like the soft tip, but I bought the two pack. It came with a mini ruler that I cut to fit into my A6-ish's pocket and that's the ruler I use, if I use one). ~$3/pen
  
• If I need an eraser, my favorite is Pentel Clic Eraser ZE-22. I've had this for decades. Has never failed me. Also, no stub problems.
  
• I use Tombow brush pens, but eh. I should have bought the monochrome set rather than the ones I have. I do not regret buying #451, #243, and #062, but YMMV (~$3/pen).
  
• The Pentel Aquash Brush pens are the best way to get into water brush pens, water coloring ($3 per).
  
• Along with a Prima watercolors palette (I favor Tropicals, but will go for Odessey next time, ~$15-25). It made me realize that actually, yes, I do enjoy water colors.
  
  Best of luck!

Apologies for the text wall!

Often times the white acrylic pearled stems are very difficult to get back to perfect when the airway has been poorly maintained (not sure on your color). Best approach I have found with these is to completely submerge it and soak the stem in a mixture of white distilled vinegar and baking soda. You want the solution to bubble and fizz during the majority of the soak (so use a good amount of baking soda in the bottom of your container and a lot of patience filling it). I will usually place the stem tennon side down. Make sure you have cleared the airway as much as you can. You will want to see bubbles coming out through the lip as it soaks. You can soak for 1hr to overnight (this soak won't hurt anything)

Follow up the soak with passes of a bristle nylon brush (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0115SLLLM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_aVXdzb72RVG6S) and hard bristle pipe cleaners if still being stubborn (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W5R6UA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DWXdzbXF8T8WV) Pass multiple soft pipe cleaners dipped in the flat sodium bicarbonate solution, followed by dry ones. Aaaand REPEAT as many time as needed haha. It usually works pretty well for me.

You can also use the flat sodium bicarbonate mixture to clean the outside of the bowl and inside the shank to remove some smell! Vinegar and water is often recommended for cleaning hard wood floors that have been freshly stained as it won't remove stain and sanitizes. The extra dissolved baking soda can help with smell as well :)

When I started doing bondage, I got a bunch of thick (1/4 inch) cotton clothesline from the hardware store, cut it into 15ft and 30ft lengths, and tied a tight overhand knot at the ends. Rope is always easy to explain away, particularly when it's "normal" rope and not the nice bondage-specific stuff. If you find that you really like tying, you can always buy better rope, and then you have convenient lengths of clothesline for other things.

15ft is enough for tying wrists together in a two-column tie, and you can use that same simple tie to tie together anything that has two 'columns', like two ankles, an arm to a waist, two sides of a bent leg, and so on.

If you want to, say, tie wrists and ankles to the bedposts, what you want is a one-column tie, which is just a secure and comfortable way to secure one 'column' of the body to something else.

If you want to get more into bondage, 30ft is enough to tie a basic chest harness, which you can use to tie other things to, as a convenient 'handle' for your partner, or just to give them more of a feeling of confining rope. A common chest harness is a box tie, or a takate kote, which is basically a chest harness that binds the hands and arms instead of letting them stay loose.

If you want something other than rope, I'd recommend something thicker like scarves rather than strips of fabric. You can pick up scarves at basically any women's accessories section of a department store. Fabric tends to knot tightly, so thicker fabric is a bit better, and it's good to keep something around to help work the knot out (like a knitting needle to stick into the knot) or something to cut the fabric (like a pair of safety shears or a knife you're comfortable using close to skin). Actually, keeping those things around is important when you're tying with rope, too.

Ok, #1 that is the coolest idea on the planet! There is no better money you could spend on a gift for a sewer. Especially one without decent scissors. (or shears or cutters or whatever).

I use Gingher and Kai. Both are great but Kai is definitely easier on the hands. I've got 67 year old hands that are in good shape but not in 30 year old shape.

These Kai Shears are the ones I use (and love) every day. They aren't as expensive as you want to spend so might I suggest adding these embroidery scissors? They are so very handy and the larger finger holes make it much easier for old hands to get them working efficiently.

Seriously, this is just the nicest idea.

You sound like my girlfriend. More sleep is lost to crafting than anything else. She also does a lot of stuff with wine/liquor bottles. This bottle cutting tool is awesome and there's all kinds of neat things to make. She primarily makes the self watering planters and luminaries (cuts the bottom off and sits it on top of a votive candle). Although some of the stuff she makes requires more expensive power tools. She has an ETSY store called Mino'aka Studios. You may be able to get a couple of ideas from there.

We love the idea of craft trading as well. If you're interested you should reach out to her on ETSY. She knows about my redditing "problem" so just mention we talked on here. I'm more into woodworking, but she's the crafting genius. I'm sure she'd love to talk to you about that.

That's funny, we have a lot of Nov/Dec birthdays as well...including mine. I can sympathize. The crafting really ramps up once the weather cools off and with the holidays approaching.

I bet now you don't feel so bad about rambling, huh? I tend to go on and on as well.

So I got the idea off YouTube from a guy called MTB Alan. Super awesome video of him showing you step by step. Check it out.

$10:
Sugru Mouldable Glue - Black (3-Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BFE0KNQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5azoDb9ANG90W

$7:
Suptig Tripod Mount Adapter for Gopro https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071XVZKP1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0czoDbBPVN334

That’s it. IMO looks way better than zip ties, holds much better than zip ties. The Sugru is tested for 4lbs (roughly 2kg) and it feels solid as a rock. Took about 5 minutes to knead, 2 minutes to mold, and then let it sit for 48 hours. The pack says 24 will be plenty but since I used all 3 packs I decided to let it sit a little longer.

Hope it helps somebody! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

The most mundane thing I could think of

product review: I was a little nervous with two 8 inchers to fill my hands but I was pleasantly surprised by how they fit right in. They did their job and they did it well. I was very pleased and will share them with my friends and neighbors when they need to get the job done!

Sure,

well theres three types of labels, printed cans( cant do anything with )

Wraps ( plastic that has a seam) you can cut these but you have to cut the seam and then snip the top and bottom ring area then it will flatten.

Adhesive labels. ( these work best)

I try to use the edge of an xacto knife or even a fingernail on a part of the label that i know ill maybe trim a hair off of anyway , so that it hides any crinkling.

there are a few companies that its just impossible to get the labels off of, some bottles like Founders, or cans like aslin, dont work well , usually bigger bottles work good though. Prairie works great. I recommend these magnet sheets,

https://www.amazon.com/Craftopia-Magnetic-Adhesive-Anything-Flexible/dp/B071L97W57/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1525196048&sr=8-3&keywords=magnet+sheets

and i use xacto knives and a craft mat like this one, https://www.amazon.com/Alvin-Professional-Self-Healing-Cutting-GBM1218/dp/B0015AOIYI/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1525196109&sr=1-4&keywords=craft%2Bcutting%2Bmat&dpID=51gR%252BOrM3WL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1

so you dont cut through it to the table youre on etc, the key to making your cuts nice and clean is putting a good amount of pressure during your cut and cutting fairly slowly.

use a straight edge, use metal rulers, plan out the size of the label, peel it off the can or bottle and affix it adhesive side down on the adhesive side of the magnetic backing. then just square off your edges with cuts and bingo instant fridge magnet.


You can also do it with brewery stickers as well.

A very cool invention! Bet this person has made some bank. :)

That, combined with a hair dryer, makes it so much easier to remove labels.

ETA: I found one of these, Used, on eBay and it's perfect. It's the small travel version with a folding handle and has Tourmaline crystals in it which help reduce static electricity. It's great for my hair, as well! :)

https://smile.amazon.com/BaBylissPRO-Tourmaline-Titanium-Travel-Dryer/dp/B003QKL5YQ/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1484157360&sr=8-3&keywords=babyliss+pro+tt

I block the mouth end with an old cut-up q-tip after removing the mouthpiece. Sometimes I'll scrape a bit of goo right away on the top with a dry q-tip but I do the finishing steps near the end by spraying a tiny amount of 99% iso on a qtip and rub away.

I dab the inside of the oven with 70% iso and I start scraping with a knife.

I finish off the oven with a green scouring pad that I cut to 1 cm/2 and dip it in iso and I use a precision screwdriver and I rub it in the oven.

Then I remove the old q tip and use those plastic lined pipe cleaners and dip it in iso and go to town on the vapor chamber.

I also wipe off the flat mouthpiece first with a towel to remove most of the goo and then I use cold water, an old toothbrush and dawn dish soap to clean it since you should avoid using iso on rubber if possible.

To clean the screen I just burn off the stuff with my torch lighter and it's like new.

Sometime I'll scrape some crap off my half pack oven lid with a knife if it gets too bad, then I clean it with iso and a qtip.

At the end I make sure to thoroughly wipe everything with 99% iso as to not inhale small scouring pad particulates that might have been left behind.

I have a tip to help with maintenance, if you're using the original screens, use a pair of pliers and bend the sides a little bit so it's easier to remove. On that note I remove the screen after each use and wipe the pax oven/screen with a dry q-tip, I use a bamboo skewer to help pry it off (by pushing on the side of the screen) and I can use it as a tool to scrape some abv that's stuck in the oven.

I have a Pax 3, a Mighty and a Dynavap M 2017 and yet my go-to is the pax3. If you treat it right, it's amazing.

No problem. You'll probably be cleaning lint etc mostly from it if you plan to carry it around. I tend to go a little overboard when I clean my guns, but I typically don't clean my rifles/shotguns all that frequently and will go between multiple thousands of rounds before I do.

When I clean my guns I use a mat like this to absorb oils etc and this to get all of the black carbon out of it. I use these to clean the bore/inside of the barrel. I use these and these for the hard to reach places that still have something building up on them.

When you're done cleaning everything, you'll want to make sure you put oil/grease on all the components that come in contact with other parts. Basically if it rolls oil it, if it slides grease it. I use this on the slide/rails where they contact each other and use this in most other places. Then I'll wipe down the exterior with this.

Really all you have to make sure you do is get most of the debris out of the gun, and make sure you have oil on surfaces that create friction or need some kind of rust preventative coating.

Your vapor path is probably clogged. Your unit is getting hot because it's either clogged and you can't remove the vapor and heat that's being produced, or, it's getting hot because you didnt pack it tight enough and the heater is being over worked.

https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Bundles-Cleaners-Bristle-Count/dp/B000W5R6UA

I use those to clean all my vapes. Remove the mouthpiece. Dip one in 90% iso and stick it through the vapor path holding the unit upside down. Any excess alcohol will drip down the pipe cleaner and get absorbed or drip to the floor. You dont want to risk alcohol getting underneath the silicone and getting into your electricals. The pipe cleaner will pop out the screen and you can scrub that down. Then run the pipe cleaner back and forth while twisting to get a good scrub in the vapor path. I usually have to use two pipe cleaners to get the vapor path clean. A clean pax is a happy pax.

I always put everything away as soon as I've finished, that way I know I'm not going to bump into it, knock it to the floor, etc.

Cleaning on a weekly basis is a good habit to get into, the alcohol and salt is pretty cheap compared to the chemical solutions that are sold that do exactly the same thing and get it no cleaner in the end. Don't forget to clean the bowl and stem. Purchase bottle brushes for the purpose and clean those off after use every week. It will keep your bong looking like new and make sure every different strain smoked tastes as it should.
Also stop by the tobacconist to purchase pipe cleaners, the ones with metal filaments in them, they do an excellent job of keeping those stems clean.

This is what the pipe cleaners I'm talking about look like. I usually cut them in half 'cause they're too long as is.

>Headbands and bandanas are amazing if you want to look like a basketball player or Axl Rose.

Cool? That's your opinion, just like my opinion is that a top-knot makes you look silly. I'll take both of those over the latter.

>Also, you said dozens of different ways. I only see 7 things linked here with a few duplicates.

Lmao. That's what you want to nitpick about? The goal is keeping hair out of your eyes, not fancy hairstyles:

Why not just save yourself time and energy and change the design. That's what they did to make it work. I would make the legs from 4x4 (which is really 3.5 x 3.5) and the horizontals pieces from 2 x 4 (again, realy 2.5 x 3.5) Everything will match up and it will look just fine. Or just use 2x for all of it. That's the best part about seeing a design you like. Just make it work for the tools and materials you have at your disposal.
Also, another suggestion would be to add rubber tabs or felt tabs to the top of the wood for the glass to rest on. Otherwise, that glass could easily slide around. I'd go with something like this to keep the glass protected from the wood and in place: http://www.amazon.com/Self-adhesive-Clear-Rubber-Feet-Bumpons/dp/B001JASGH4

Great idea. Will really help those riding behind you understand why your not moving over. Thank you for being considerate to others!!!

As an idea to help you see behind you. You might be able to get a small flexible plastic mirror that you can attach to the brim of your helmet. If oriented the correct way, you should be able to make out if someone is behind you. In a catch, it is very unlikely to cause a secondary issue. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Flexible-Mirror-Sheets-Cuttable-Plastic/dp/B01BU99K6E

Do you mean something like these? Because that seems like an awesome idea! https://www.amazon.com/Self-adhesive-Clear-Rubber-Feet-Bumpons/dp/B001JASGH4

You have some great tips too, thanks.

They sell precut mini mirrors if you have a square shape, but I couldn't find any in the size I needed.

I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BU99K6E/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They work pretty well as long as you apply it perfectly flat. Otherwise you get sort of a fun house mirror effect.

It was actually quite simple. I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BU99K6E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

And then I made a triangle and taped it inside the machine bottom to allow for it to stay off the drip tray. I then cut another piece and laid it on top of the triangle. I will take some pictures and another video today. I was able to clean it up a bit and make it more clean by taking off an additional layer of the protective plastic. :)

​

Overall, very pleased with the results. Now if I could just hit the cup :)

Amazon has full 2’x4’ sheets of Kaizen foam for $32.50, you’d just have to cut them to fit your PACKOUT. The link is for the 57mm (2-1/4”) foam, so may have to browse for the thinner ones if that’s what you need. Fastcap does sell their own adhesive to hold multiple layers together, but you could probably use something like 3M’s Super 77, which can be found at most craft/home improvement stores. Fastcap Kaizen Foam 57mm (2-1/4”) Black

Otherwise you can buy them pre-cut fromKaizeninserts.com for your particular box. Comes in different height/color options, just cost a bit more.

Well, you could just mouth hit it with a lighter and not inhale it. You know, until you stop tasting burnt cotton. Then just blow out all the burnt stuff.

Also, if you REALLY wanna clean it out...

Your best bet for wood is probably going to be pipe cleaners. They were originally created for cleaning wooden and clay pipes. This with a light alcohol/water mix (probably 30alcohol/70water) and a nice drying overnight should have you in ship shape.


Hope this helps.

I would not recommend the citadel tools. They are quite expensive compared to other brands. I would recommend something like this. The mold line remover I think is unnecessary. You can just as easily remove mold lines using the back edge of a hobby knife blade. the file set might be nice to have, but again, there are cheaper options.

Unless you're really committed to spending your money at that one store or whatever, I recommend checking hobby lobby (or whatever your local equivalent is) for tools and equipment. Don't buy cheap, but don't buy expensive, either. haha.

35 feet is honestly long for rope stuff, even for people who do a lot of rope stuff.

Most ropes come in 30 feet pieces and are doubled over to create more surface are, for a total of 15 feet of working length.

Many people prefer even shorter lengths, in the 23 foot range, again doubled over for more like 11 feet of working length.

Some rope packages come with 5 lengths of 30 and 2 lengths of 15. The lengths of 30 are used for complex ties, while the 15 are used for smaller ties or finishing longer ones where you need just a little more rope.

The 15 foot lengths are again doubled over for a very manageable length of 7.5 feet.

You could cut it into 3 pieces. Two 10 foot lengths and one length of 15. Knot the ends off, or use tape if you do not intend on washing it. This would give you enough for say-

• hands together, feet together
  
• hands together, feet at each corner of foot board
  
• wrists to thighs
  
• wrists to crotch
  
  Very helpful video for learning rope.
  
  Another helpful rope tutorial.
  
  Have you got safety shears?

This needs to be higher up. While no doubt anyone can get good cut with a hobby knife or box cutter after some practice, getting the right tool is the best way to ensure even a novice gets nice clean cuts. FoamWerks tools are the Rolls Royce of foam cutting, but even a simple tool like this $8 xacto board cutter will greatly improve your cuts and will allow you to make easy tongue and groove joints. Here's a video tutorial on how to use the board cutter.

Good for you.

Please learn to play safe. Do not hesitate to say that something bothers you (mentally or physically)

I did my wife's hands up too tight (oops!) and she immediately mentioned the tingling in her fingers. Do not wait to say something is too tight, too rough, etc.

I got this rope (200ft) and it's very soft and doesn't tangle.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004432CHI/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also, make sure you have a set of sheers like this:

• Basswood is a great material to start with, you can get boxes of practice blanks fairly cheaply online. Poplar works pretty well too and is available at most home improvement stores. Pine is a pretty horrible wood to start with because the grain is loose, inconsistent and prone to splitting. Harder woods like oak will also be difficult to start with.
  
  
• You can start cheap with an x-axto assortment like this, or get a carving knife set like this one.
  
  
• Things like Gouges Chisels and Rasps will be necessary if you want to move on to larger pieces, but good ones are a bigger investment.
  
  
• Spend some time in /r/woodcarving to get a feel for projects you might want to explore on your own.
  
  
• Hit up youtube for "Wood carving basics" or "Whittling basics" You might also look into "Chip Carving" if you want to do surface designs.
  

I just used this stuff:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BXYWXY8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

to reassemble a Time Steel that I replaced the battery in. Worked great. It's probably not water proof anymore, but with two layers of it, it's probably at least splash resistant.

I peeled the previous double stick material off (it's actually pretty easy with just fingernails alone) and then placed one layer on the plastic gasket, and one layer on the underside of the screen. Getting the screen reconnected was a little tricky and required the use of a long thin metal tool, you might be okay with just a flathead screwdriver.

for the record, they do make self-adhesive googly eyes haha, then you don't need the double sided tape! we keep a stash at my work for general fun and merriment lol.

The local Home Despot is the best place to get started.
You want the kind or rope without a core like
twisted nylon

There are some good resources online for how to do ties. Start with twisted monk

And buy a set of EMT shears
Important in case of emergency either physical or mental.


Very important, it's ok to tap out and stop right in the middle, by either side. Set up a safe word.

After that spend a bunch of time talking about it. What you both liked, didn't like, want to try..

This is what I got, less than $6 for 500 eyes, with Amazon Prime: http://www.amazon.com/Watch-them-wiggle-Black-PIECES/dp/B0074MHV7W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376416990&sr=8-1&keywords=googly+eyes

Only downside is that they're not sticky-backed, so you'll need to buy some super glue. I got a bottle of super glue with a brush applicator, and it works great.

The Yi cameras are really very good for the money. The Yi Lite gets great reviews and it's cheap, and you can use all the standard GoPro mounts, so you can use some Sugru to custom implant a GoPro mount on the face of your helmet. You can also use your general 3M tape to stick the mounts on nicely as well.

I won't lie... Cheap Amazon Prime accessible tape.
The two names are as follows;

2mm Clear Double Sided Strong Adhesive Acrylic Tape For Phone LCD Screen Repair https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019OQ4Z10?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I know they're cheap, but how much should I spend/what should I search for when I purchase? Computers are my hobby, but I work in kitchens and bake bread full time... Soooo, I'm pretty good with my hands. Application is not the issue here.

I used and Xacto foam core knife I bought off Amazon.

It was $19.99. I'm sure any hobby knife would work but people recommended this one in a foam core thread so I bit. I'm pretty happy with it, very smooth cuts. But I've never tried cutting foam core with anything else.

This is gold leaf. It's insanely thin, about 4-5 millionths of an inch according to Google. You can get 100 sheets of it for $12. I don't think it's quite as much of a splurge as you believe. It's pointless, but it's not something only the richest of the rich can do.

Get yourself some Scotty Peelers. The plastic ones are pretty safe for surfaces.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0068QIQVA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_aHDzDb2262KP9

These work pretty well too, and your money might go farther

Instead of foam you could use bits of old sweater. Easier to felt into, and they have a nice weight to them. As for wire, I really like using actual pipe cleaners, not the craft kind. They have really hard bristles that catch the wool and make a great base. They’re not perfect for tiny details, cause they can be spiky, but they are quite strong.

100 sheets of gold leaf measuring 1.7" by 1.7", totalling 289 square inches, cost $12.55, with free two-day shipping. I'm sure actual artists can get better deals on bulk quantities. Gold leaf isn't actually all that expensive since it's only like an atom thick.

You can trust me, I have [peel and stick googly eyes] (http://www.amazon.com/Peel-Stick-Wiggle-Eye-Sheets/dp/B000F8V66O/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=8MQV9QDIDXV3&coliid=I1OT8LWIY47VG4) on my wishlist. I'll use them for sticking to everything and making the world a sillier place.

Seriously, though. I've had these on my wishlist for a long time and my plan has been to put them on a few robots we have at my work (I'm a research scientist). I promise to post video of them in action if I win!

+1 to just ISO (99% OR 91% Isopropyl alcohol) and salt. Though I learned the hard way that if you're cleaning a grinder just use ISO. The salt makes it more difficult to reclaim the goods.

This process will take a couple/few hours but just let it sit in a bag, shake it around every so often, and of course one bag per item if it's glass. You don't want to lose a piece in the cleaning. Overnight is great too if you want. I strongly recommend pipe cleaners with hard bristles too.

If you just need to patch a tear, I've used tent-repair tape on my socks with pretty good success.

These are awesome for getting in there and getting things clean. highly recommend them.

Very nice.
I am currently working on some foamcore storage for TI3 as well. Basing mine off of a post on BGG from a guy using chitboard/cardstock.

To aid in 45 degree cuts, take a peek at this: Amazon linky

Thank you for the link. I do like how you cut the box size down. Very well executed.

on a side note, you might take a look at a Hobby Lobby if you have one near you. Usually, the foamboard is beside the framing section (at least at the 4 in my city they are, I assume they use a similar floor plan at each store) Well, there are some vertical storage bins that contain thick matboard, mostly used for framing. At my locations they have large sheets of 3mm foamboard (about HALF the size of the traditional foamboard) which is REALLY nice to work with.
I'll admit, two problems are they only come in LARGE boards (which I usually cut down when I get home for storage and so it doesn't warp) and that I have only seen it in white with white core.

I am a fan of the black/black core myself, but am learning to like this thin/white FB as it allows me a little more room when it comes to designing inserts. (as sometimes that 2mm difference is HUGE)

Yeah please don't do this, it's awful enough to work retail as it is. Want to have some fun, then buy some of these and place them on things to give them ridiculous faces. It doesn't torture underpaid people working on thanksgiving and it's actually quite a bit funnier:

Amazon washi tape first thing that pops up for me! Super inexpensive and I love the designs

Get a pair of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004NG8V9E/

If you end up using neckties you absolutely positively need a pair.

They're cheaper, safer, and better than anything you may have hanging around already.

These are things I bought that work great.
First, the stands;

Then the adaptor;

And finally the finishing touch for the headpiece;
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F8V66O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That's everything you need. But yeah, get them high up, pointing down a bit, and make sure on sturdy flooring so as you're jumping around they don't carry the vibration over and judder.

Saw this awhile back. Add some foam to it and you should be good to go :) a good budget option if you ask me.

If you're looking for something more customized, there's these custom sleeves that are affordable. There's also Modern Coup if you have the money and want something classier.

I liked the recent post with the bicycle bell mod, really anything to enhance safety, especially in NYC, where jaywalkers cross roads diagonally with their heads buried in their phones and then proceed to do the "evade me" shimmy when they finally see you coming.

I use it sparingly, 120 dB is on the human pain threshold for hearing, so it's quite jarring. A quick toot toot tends to resolve most antsy situations, but a nice sustained hard whistle can even help you be heard from inside yellow cabs.

Is the screen or the pipe itself getting clogged. For the pipe I recommend the pipe cleaners that have metal bristles mixed in with the soft ones as well. As far as the screen I've found that if you make sure to hit the bowl and empty the ash and scrape the screen the second you are done, before the resin and ash can harden it helps keep it clean. Don't leave half smoked bowls. If it is attached and won't clean well it may be worth cutting out and leaving just enough around the edge to hold another screen in place, and just replace that one when it gets clogged.

Edit these are the pipe cleaners i'm talking about

Pic of the broken part? Used is definitely the best option, but could the broken part be put back on? Little super glue? Depending if there is a lever you can put some Sugru on it as a nice grip that won't cut your finger.

Awesome bag collection. I've been turning my bags into refrigerator magnets and covering the fridge. Looks pretty cool. Just get some of this: https://www.amazon.com/Craftopia-Magnetic-Adhesive-Anything-Flexible/dp/B071L97W57/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1520867044&sr=8-2&keywords=magnetic+sticky+sheets
and cut to whatever shape you want.

This is excessive and wasteful, but putting it on a burger and selling it for $100 or whatever is just duping gullible rich people. It's like (at most) $5 worth of gold on a $12 burger.

Gold foil sheets are actually not outrageously priced. Here's an example from Amazon 25 sheets for $43 bucks.

Gold gilded sheets are even less expensive, 100 for $13, not much more expensive than any other kind of fancy decorative supply.

Not so easy on a book but I buy and sell stuff that often has stickers. I use this sticker removal kit. The plastic scrapers are pretty handy. I actually sharpened the plastic edges with a nail file, works better. Usually I use citrus based cleaning wipes and goo gone as well but that would likely smear the ink on a book cover.

Couple of helpful accessories that people always mention on this subreddit include:

• BudKups - these are basically storage compartments for your herb that can be prepacked all at once and then simply inserted and removed, meaning you pack 6 of them at once and then you don't have to repack until all of them are out
  
  
• Pipe Cleaners - these pipe cleaners with bristles will help you greatly when it comes to cleaning your device, they're similar to the ones PAX includes in the full package; you'll also want a very high percentage (91 or 99) isopropyl alcohol to help.

You can buy thin sheets of magnet and cut it to whatever size or shape you want. Now as far as affixing the photos I would try a few things and see what works best.

Edit: found an Amazon link if you like that sort of thing. I get bored at work some one should benefit.

Good Job! Remember there are no rules in quilting except have fun. I like your fabric choices. And if that's your first block, you're a natural.

I read another comment about mistakes; no one will notice them unless you point them out. Also, in Japanese art, there is a thing called wabi-sabi which is sometimes brought about by an "intentional mistake" to demonstrate that the art was made by a human hand. Something too rigid in it's lines can be cold and unfeeling. (wabi-sabi can also be about finding the beauty in naturally aged and worn objects.) Beauty is in the worn spots and imperfect lines.

PS, if you're looking for really sharp scissors ever, KAI, they make different scissors for cutting fabric or nipping threads. These are great if you ever get into doing a hawaiian quilt where you cut through 8 layers of fabric for the design.

http://www.amazon.com/Kai-5210-8-inch-Dressmaking-Shears/dp/B004MN72VG/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1373484941&sr=1-1&keywords=kai+scissors

Yes. You can also get them pre cut, but I prefer cutting myself for a better fit.

I highly recommend you order yourself one of these. You can find some tutorials on the net as well. Check out the tutorials from Esoteric Order of Gamers here. Some good tips there.

I was thinking about using something like this (flexible mirror sheet). Super easy to work with, no sharp edges and you can roll it up into a tube if you wanted to.

These are the best. Hours of entertainment for all.

I highly recommend zen pipe cleaners They're really cheap and work great.

Not for this price, they don't :)

And my local shop doesn't, actually. At least, they never do when I've shopped there, but they're much more porn oriented, the smoking accessories are relegated to a corner and most of it is way overpriced glass pieces. I wish there was a proper smoke shop like some of the ones I've seen online around here.

I haven't tried moleskin, but I love this stick on suede. It's not $2 but it's not $30 either if you have prime.

Scotty Peelers are amazing! I bought some of them specifically for removing stickers from Gamestop cases after I bought them after I got tired of peeling them off by hand, having sticky residue left behind, then having my game cases stick together in the shelf.

Any small amount of residue left behind can easily be wiped away with Goo Gone and a washcloth.

These are the ones I use. They are PERFECT. Just barely clear the base so it dont rock. Got the link from a past reddit thread.

Thats what I was thinking. Do you think this would work? 2mm seems like its the perfect thickness, though it's double sided and I'd only use a single side.

Bring headphones (I listened to audio books). Make sure each team member has their regular department, and have a sign off so u know who did what and that it was finished without hunting them down. Plan your path through the department. With the paper tags u have to tear learn the order and tear them b4 u go out so u have a stack and dont have to tear as you go. When putting out tags do one type at a time, i.e. I started with peg hook tags - square tags - rectangle - etc. This is so u aren't switching between piles or searching. Other than all that just learn to go into zombie mode and it will fly by. You can try a tool like the "Scotty Peeler" if your having issues getting the tags off. I normally put the peg labels on lightly so they peel easy and for things that I know change every week I put a little hanging over so I can tear and go (some leaders dont like this). (back to keeping to your assigned departments) (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0068QIQVA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_jiqUBb33F55WF)

I hate that as well, for me if I rush it I end up messing it up so I go slow with good results. If you can get a perfect can and or catch lid out of a roll just use that one. There is also stuff like this https://www.amazon.com/Scotty-Peelers-Label-Sticker-Remover/dp/B0068QIQVA

Thanks! I have a bunch of large thick sheets of styrofoam and a good selection of small Xacto knives (http://www.amazon.com/Xacto-X5282-Basic-Knife-Set/dp/B00004Z2UB).

I can't give any tips other than just make sure you plan ahead. In my case I went for a very damaged and abandoned look, so any cutting mistakes would only make it better.

Near the end my dad made an electric styrofoam cutter for me (Basically a wire in between a coping saw with a current going through it). This made cutting thin bits significantly easier and faster, but most of what you see here has been done with the knifes.

I also advice to go with ISO 90 type Styrofoam, as this is much more compressed and will likely look a lot better. I used ISO 60 Styrofoam here, as I could not find 90.

Just take your time, be patient, and it will all work out!

This is so nice of you, thank you for hosting this contest.

I'm all about repurposing. This wine bottle cutter would be a much safer way to repurpose my wine bottles!

Town Drunk

Thanks again!

Another quick question and I'm done for now: is it okay if I get gold leaf that isn't entirely real gold but a blend will it work? (I might be wrong but I've found some listing that says it is like 999/1000 real gold which I read as meaning 99% real gold, so I might be wrong).

Better way of putting it: will these be alright?

I need them as 'surround feet' for a box.

I just got 3m double sided tape...Works fantastic. My original one and replacement both fell out. Not hard to fix.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Knotty Boys yet, they have a lot of good tutorials.

Also: If you are going to try rope bondage, please have EMT shears on hand. You can get them for $4 on Amazon. These are designed to cut material off of a person without harming their skin; it is not safe to use regular scissors or a knife to cut rope off of someone in an emergency.

Gold leaf is pretty cheap stuff. A nice sentimental gift, but no notable monetary value.

This stuff is ideal for applications like these.
SUGRU

How about this video?

Or this one?

Laugh You!

around $5 THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES

If you're after a cheap and dirty fix:

1. Camera tether stuck to top of headlamp https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sametop-Adhesive-Tethers-Compatible-Session/dp/B01BTRTFH6/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=camera+tether&qid=1571435406&sr=8-8
   
2. Sugru around the edge of the tether to reinforce the bond https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sugru-Mouldable-Glue-Original-Formula/dp/B01BFE0KNQ/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=sugru+black&qid=1571435550&sr=8-6
   
3. Strong zip tie through the tether and around the middle section of the handlebars, it's then supported above and by the original mount.
   
   Got the idea from this video (which explains it a bit better): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ2LPpbiZXc

While it is not the perfect tool, [Ephrem's Original Bottle Cutter Kit](http://www.amazon.com/Ephrems-Original-Bottle-Cutter-Kit/dp/B007PK12GY/) is one of the best way I found to do this.

I cannot open the link, either, but I'be been a pipe smoker for most of my life and I'd call these pipe cleaners.

Anyhow, you don't need those to clean a razor. A toothbrush and dish soap are all you'll ever need for that. I usually just give my razors a gentle scrub with my nail brush when changing blades. No biggie.

I didn't go overly compact, but I did buy a cheap hard shell carry on bag from amazon and some Kaizen foam. Tore out the innards of the carry on bag and cut out slots for headset, touch controllers cameras and even a slot for my 1080 for the times that I don't need to bring a computer, but the computer at the destination needs a better card.

It accompanied me on 6 flights so far.
Here's a link to an image of it before being completed. It lacks the Video card slot. I also added some command wire hooks on the top and bottom inside of the camera half and ran two bungie cords between them to hold the cameras down.

these are really great for cleaning any smoking device, I have a bunch https://www.amazon.com/Bundles-Zen-Pipe-Cleaners-Bristle/dp/B000W5R6UA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478012971&sr=8-1&keywords=zen+pipe+cleaners

I used Tenacious Tape on a down jacket and its held up great.

http://www.amazon.com/Gear-Aid-Tenacious-Fabric-Repair/dp/B005BLQTEE

I was recommended this stuff https://www.amazon.co.uk/McNett-Tenacious-Tape-Fabric-Repair/dp/B005BLQTEE/ref=pd_lpo_200_bs_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=JE4Y4RXE3TRKTR73BV46 by Mark from IR -- apparently it's pretty bomber.

Not quite, but here is something you could possibly go off of... :)

It's all about the karma.

We could use googly eyes when we're doing art! Everyone loves googly eyes.

GoPro Hero 5 is only $250. Grab some Sugru and attach to the chin of your helmet.

You could certainly patch it with nylon and some sewing skills, but I would probably use gear repair tape for something minor like that.

https://www.amazon.com/Gear-Aid-Tenacious-Fabric-Repair/dp/B005BLQTEE

Not to mention that you are providing entertainment to your whole family! Start charging admission! Don't forget the Googly Eyes! :D

Edit: added link

Doesn't look too expensive honestly. $15 for 100 2" square sheets doesn't sound that bad.

https://www.amazon.com/Watch-them-wiggle-Black-PIECES/dp/B0074MHV7W

I think we should all pitch in and send these, gift-wrapped, to the OP's command who took away precious morale.

This item would be totally rad, man. My daughter would have tons of fun putting googley eyes on all the things!

Now I usually cut with electric tile cutter and sand on DIY flat lap, but for someone looking to only do straight cuts and not make the glasses for sale I'd say go with one of the jigs available and then just do the hot-cold water routine, a candle or a jet butane torch over the score line.

Alternatively, you can also make a jig yourself, it's not that hard and will probably save around $30.

I put these rubber feet next to where the little plastic bumps on the bottom towards the back of the keyboard are: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001JASGH4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1465585240&sr=8-3&pi=SX200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=21KThbUYKEL&ref=plSrch

Fixed it immediately. You can also put them over the screw holes, but I prefer to leave those open for easy access to the innards.

I found these for $4 with free shipping.

Maybe this tape

https://www.amazon.com/Eco-Fused-Adhesive-Sticker-Phone-Repair/dp/B00BXYWXY8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1549321426&sr=8-4&keywords=Electronics+adhesive

Or maybe this adhesive?

https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Electronic-Grade-Silicone-Squeeze/dp/B07MKBBQTC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549321426&sr=8-3&keywords=Electronics+adhesive

I'm not an expert on this, just trying to help and maybe give you an idea.

Gore-Tex should work, I used one on a pair on snowboarding pants about 8 years ago and the patch is still holding strong through 5 or 6 washings. I don't see why it wouldn't work on a sleeping pad. I actually carry one in my repair kit out on the trail for a sleeping pad or rain jacket/pants haven't used it yet on those items but I know it worked damn well on my pants.

EDIT: Hmm, I think the gore-tex I linked and the Tenacious Tape are the same thing just under different names?

They look the same and both are made by gear aid, the gore-tex package says "Tenacious Tape". Now I'm curious, might have to do some tests.

Just use silicone self-fusing tape:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HWRO9MY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

or use liquid tape:
https://www.amazon.com/Gardner-Bender-LTW-400-Liquid-4-Ounce/dp/B002CC05EA/ref=pd_sim_328_21?ie=UTF8&dpID=413CdGG5uqL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR82%2C160_&refRID=FY2E02TWCMGTEJPJYZ0K

or even Sugru (probably the best but most expensive option):
https://www.amazon.com/Sugru-Moldable-Glue-SBLK3-Black/dp/B01BFE0KNQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1465690927&sr=1-1&keywords=sugru

Oh no, there goes my paycheck. I can't pass up a good deal on washi. This is a really cool set that I use for detailed work. It's really thin so you can do some unique things with it. Sticks well, too! If it's on an outer envelope, I usually hide the ends under a stamp or sticker just to be safe.

Gold foil isn’t really that expensive, it’s so thin there’s really not that much gold weight wise

https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Leaf-Sheets-1000-Real/dp/B00VALQQ60

Yeah I tried that at first but wasnt very happy with the results, the pluck and pull type was really hard to just cut a form fitting shape, too soft, and I ended up ripping it even with a brand new exacto blade. This stuff cost a good bit, but it was totally worth it in regards to end quality of the entire case. It's still discounted a bit, though I did grab it when it was half off. If you go with this case, 2-¼" is exactly what you want.

It is better to use this stuff, http://www.amazon.com/Eco-Fused-Adhesive-Sticker-Phone-Repair/dp/B00BXYWXY8

That is what was used in the first place. Remove the tape, place new, and compress.

I know you already have it off, but wanted to share for anyone else removing stickers. Scotty peeler was a life changer for me and boat stickers, and now any stickers.

Well, I guess that's my Amazon impulse purchase for the day ...

You might want to replace that pluck foam with some - https://www.amazon.com/Fastcap-Kaizen-Foam-57mm-Black/dp/B007J2JJYK

Got rid of mine as fast as i could, since it's open cell and will attract moisture and also tends to react with oils

This is easier - http://www.amazon.com/Ephrems-Original-Bottle-Cutter-Kit/dp/B007PK12GY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1376621587&sr=8-3&keywords=ephrem%27s+deluxe+bottle+cutter

super 77 for foam to foam and double sided tape to hold foam to the box. That way the foam can be replaced when you fuck it up.


whats it for, both of the foams you linked are open cell. Im a big fan of kaizen foam if the foam is going to contact anything metal or electronic.

https://www.amazon.com/Fastcap-Kaizen-Foam-57mm-Black/dp/B007J2JJYK/

Not much. There's barely any gold there. Small sheets like that are about $12 for 100

As with many such luxury items, it's all for show, and there's no real value in there.

an option if you can't find anything and are a little handy is buying something similar to this packing foam and cutting a rough seat shape and attaching it to both sides and putting in a box and it will keep anything fairly safe

[Kaizen foam] (https://www.amazon.com/Fastcap-Kaizen-Foam-57mm-Black/dp/B007J2JJYK) would work. You could use a hole saw or a razor to cut the diameter you need and you just peel off layers until you get the exact thickness you want. It's really easy to work with.

This reminds me, I need to go figure out what scissors they gave me at work because as a lefty it's one that works fantastic, and that's probably one of the worst things you have to deal with as a lefty. More than half the scissors on the planet are totally useless for left-handed people. Especially the ones in grade school that would just crease paper if you used them in your left hand.

edit: Someone actually linked them lower in the comments. These are beautiful.

Here's an easy fix I've used on my HHKB that solved all my problems with it slipping around:

apply these rubber feet on the bottoms of your HHKB. You might be able to find cheaper ones at a hardware store.

Anything with gold leaf on it is just capitalizing on the perceived worth of gold to massively inflate the price they charge. And yes, gold is very expensive, but gold leaf isn't. Gold leaf is so incredibly thin that you could coat a whole burger with it for less than $5.

Saffron is expensive but the amount you'd actually use is a few bucks at most.

Same with the rest of the ingredients. The Kobe beef (why would you even use Kobe just to grind it up when you can use regular beef and throw in some extra fat, but whatever).

That burger costs maybe $200 to make at most, most of which is just the wasteful use of Kobe beef. That burger could probably be replicated for under $100 with Wagyu subbed for the Kobe.

Tenacious Tape may work well for this repair.

Also, do you find that your heels are slipping when you run? There has to be a reason for the premature material failure...

Tenacious Tape is the industry standard for repairs in breathable fabric. Has worked well for me in the past, and unlike duct tape it is specifically made for use with technical fabrics.

I'd try these, they work well for this type of thing.

I would go with a phone adhesive tape https://www.amazon.com/Eco-Fused-Adhesive-Sticker-Phone-Repair/dp/B00BXYWXY8 It's a quick fix until you get a replacement, or you could apply a wet glue (specific for phone) if you want to use it more. In my experience, the tape will be fine for a while.

Take the glass out and use the sticker mirrors. You could also apply right over top if you want it done faster:

https://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Mirror-Sheets-Cuttable-Plastic/dp/B01BU99K6E/

I bought sheets of Kaizan foam to line my cases. I found a specialty woodshop that sells it near me. You can also buy cases that have pluck foam inside. Pelican brand cases are the most popular but are expensive.

I'd recommend you buy the case you like and buy some Kaizen foam. Don't look for a case that comes with foam as it'll severely limit your options.

I do a very similar set up for backpacking. Peakclip with body on front or on the top of my bag in a foam insert (when I know the conditions are just going to suck, like when I'm snow camping) I built using this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007J2JJYK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and extra lenses get wrapped in a fleece or with my quilt.

​

For biking, can you strap it to your bike? Then I could see using a pelican case or something similar.

How are you cutting them? I've cut thousands of wine, champagne, and liquor bottles. I use this cutter and diamond sanding pads, and I get beautiful smooth edges with minimal effort. I don't use the candle provided with the cutting kit. I use a hot water from a kettle and cold tap water to stress the score.

Not saying you have to do it this way, just letting you know that there is a way to get the edges cleaner.

Not enough gold in that room to be worth your time, it's all gold leaf This is actually very common in Japanese temples.

I used this stuff. I'm not sure what thickness/size you need, but do a search for 'kaizen foam' on Amazon and it'll cough up the sizes/thicknesses available.

Titanium scissors like these aren't actually titanium but steel with a thin surface coating of a titanium compound (probably titanium nitride).

Titanium metal scissors would go blunt very fast compared to a steel pair.

I use this stuff for many things. Not strong magnetism though. Depends on what you're after. For me weak magnetism is perfect.

While you'll never get it all off, you can get most of it. I use 91% ISO, as I find it a bit more aggressive than the ~70% variant. Take the screen out and hold it Mouthpiece up, and then scrub the inside with an ISO dampened Q-tip. Then, use the pipe cleaners that have the little hard bristles stemming out from them. Fold it in half, and dip the folded end in the ISO. Use that as a makeshift "wire brush" to get the remaining browning off. While those pipe cleaners come with the Pax, you can find them here as well.

I would suggest going to a cigar shop and picking up some. I have found a pack of 30 for $1. I have heard some people use a paperclip, but you might scratch the oven or vapor path.

https://www.amazon.com/Bundles-Zen-Pipe-Cleaners-Bristle/dp/B000W5R6UA

I use these and haven't had to buy any in months.

Usually wherever you buy your glass should have some. I use Zen Bristle Pipe Cleaners, my local shop has them for $1.50 for the 44 pack, which lasts a while (you can reuse them a couple times).

http://www.amazon.com/Bundles-Pipe-Cleaners-Hard-Bristle/dp/B000W5R6UA i use these a lot for my warez too

I think you are likely right. I've never seen this happen before myself though. Try different pipe cleaners maybe? I use these: https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Bundles-Cleaners-Bristle-Count/dp/B000W5R6UA/
