It might be worth mentioning that, in some cases, you might be able to substitute acrylic or polycarbonate for glass, which is much easier & safer to work with, especially for the beginner. I've done numerous custom framing projects and gotten materials from Home Depot. Personally, I've been a little afraid to work…

One important thing about the air filter masks - all kinds - is fit. This is more of an issue with the paper type ones though, as they don't necessarily conform as well to your face. The cartridge style respirators usually have a rubber seal that is more form fitting. It doesn't help much to wear a mask if the…

As someone who's had issues with my eyes, and heard some horror stories from others, I would highly recommend using safety goggles, not just glasses, especially when there are small particles flying around, like sawdust, but even including solvents. When I had some serious eye issues, my eye doctor actually suggested…

I got this exact Personna knife to pull up some carpeting, since then I've found tons of great uses for it. Unlike a regular razor blade, this actually has 4 corners you can rotate to use (vs. 2), and the slightly rounded edge to the blade can help reduce punctures and errant cuts when doing things like opening…

They might make a lot of sales on the dress, but half those people are going to return it claiming its the wrong color.

I always thought 'cheese paper' was what was left over after a fast food cheeseburger, with all the melted cheese on it. I believe I was led astray by a commercial from Carl's Jr., which is where I get most of my cheese- and burger-related knowledge.

I have the Milwaukee cutters, they are very good but they all do have primarily red handles since that's the company's color. There are green accents on the right cutting one, but I never knew why. They also sell a 3 piece set if you want the straight cutter too. Thanks for the tip, for me this is the most useful…

I'd recommend most of Air-o-Swiss line, but if you want just one, this is my favorite. Most of their units have a hygrometer, so you're not just pumping water into the air, but maintaining a specific level of humidity. It's got a good sized reservoir, timer, and pre-warming. Their filters are good, and they are…

Is American cheese really just a watered ( or milked & gelatinned) down version of another cheese?

I would note that, for those with allergies where using a bagless is a problem, the Miele is the only one that uses a bag. I did some research recently before buying a new vacuum, and, at the time at least, Miele did not make a bagless vacuum. Many of their vacuum's are very highly regarded - the Allergy Buyer's…

This seems more like an excellent example of how physical attractiveness can be trumped by other factors, like extreme annoyance. Bang her? I'd have to stop vomiting first. But that's just an opinion, as are most comments.

I delayed getting one of these for a while, not sure I would use or need it, but now I don't know what I'd do without it. I have a Milwaukee 12v cordless, and I've never had any issues where I thought I needed more power. I don't know if this is common or not, but the Milwaukee comes with an adapter that fits just…

Shaving Gel from The Real Shaving Co.

All Kinja posts would be greatly improved if they could work in a Larry David reference. Now we need an article about getting ring stains out of wood using mayonnaise or whatever other options there are. With a video, of course, where Larry goes off about mayonnaise.

That's probably more so the fault of the boiled linseed oil, that stuff is known for a high incidence of spontaneous combustion (relatively speaking). if kept in a sealed container to limit exposure to oxygen, the risk of just about anything combusting can be mitigated almost entirely. Unfortunately, like a lot of…

For the second portion (the 'clean-up everything part'), you might first want to try something like Click & Clean that can do a lot of that stuff (clear the cache, clean-up databases, clear cookies, etc.), and can do it individually so you can try one thing, see if it fixes the problem, and hopefully resolve your…

How exactly does changing your wallpaper "upgrade your screen size"?

I've read some articles about what cheap ketchups are good & which ones aren't - some are actually quite good, others total crap, but it can be a crap shoot if you don't know what you're looking for. Here are just a few taste tests:

Sounds strange - using primer wouldn't have been a bad idea, but I believe Super paint is supposed to be paint & primer in one. I've used it without primer and never had any problems. It might be that the paint underneath was dirty, that can definitely cause problems.

I agree COMPLETELY. I've used numerous brands of paint, I will tell you that anything from Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore (with the possible exception of SW's cheap HGTV line, I haven't used it) is going to be better than anything from Home Depot or Lowe's. I particularly like Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint as a…
