Soap.
Some years ago, I was walking through the parking lot and noticed that a co-worker's car was leaking gasoline. He told me that there was a pin-hole leak in the tank but he hadn't had time to take it to the shop yet. Asked him if he had a bar of soap that I could borrow. He retrieved one from his gym-bag, then stood there and watched in amazement as I rubbed it over the pinhole and stopped the leak. "That should hold until you can get it fixed properly" I said.
Saw him a couple of weeks later and he said that he hadn't taken the car to the shop yet; he just rubbed that bar of soap on there every few days. I guess it probably held up until the next big rainstorm.

Not what these products were "designed" for: Skunk Smell Remover Recipe 1 quart hydrogen peroxide 1/4 cup baking soda 1 tsp. dish detergent Sponge on and let dry. Safe for use on cats and dogs. If you need to double or triple this recipe you can easily do it. Do not use on clothes. Genome PS, you have dogs? You have skunks in the neighborhood? I'd suggest having these handy then.  O I got to Alaska works to prevent skunk smell altogether. 😋
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

BRAND NEW, UNUSED toilet brush. ![[Linked Image]](http://p.globalsources.com/IMAGES/PDT/B1059801050/Toilet-brushes.jpg) Scissors. Use scissors to trim off the bristles on the toilet brush until small enough to fit into your thermos or insulated coffee mug. I have a few trimmed to different sizes for my various thermoses and insulated mugs.

Paraffin wax as release agent for bedding. Soften it with a torch or blow dryer then use like car wax except it polishes up extremely clean and harder than car wax. When cold it is hard enough for filling voids instead of putty or clay when preparing an action for bedding. When finished a common blow drier turns it to water so it can be wiped right off. On stainless or blued guns we leave the wax as a rust preventative.
We use our 20 ton shop press to customize HiPoint pistols when they come in. Our dehorn and slenderize carry package makes them much easier to fit more of them in the garbage where they belong.

For women. Anafranil is the winner hands down.
Marketed for. Depression. But a side effect of it is that it can induce a spontaneous orgasm when a woman yawns while taking it.

Baling wire, you can use it for almost anything. I think some of my dad's old ranch trucks may have been about half wire, a quarter duct tape, and ten percent JB Weld.

Fellow I knew in Alabama used baling wire to hold a short piece of oak tree as a tire rod for his '50 Chevy when the original broke! Drove it 3 years that way!

If you have ever had the paper filters for drip coffee makers fall down when you're brewing coffee and wind up with pot of coffee full of grounds and/or hot coffee overflowing all over the counter top you know what I'm talking about.
This is what put a stop to it for me -- a cheap plastic and mesh reusable coffee filter ($2.00 +/-).
They aren't worth a dang as filters used alone but placed inside the one time use paper filters they keep the sides of the paper filter from falling/folding over while brewing and making a big mess and ruining a pot of coffee.
Wet the filters first, then add the grounds. The paper filter won't fall over. P
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Deep Woods Off is supposed to be a pretty good headlight restorer. It sure ain't good on gunstocks! Was dove hunting and getting eaten alive by mosquitos. Took a can out of my pickup and applied liberally. went back to hunting with my minty Belgium Browning A-5. Soon my hands started feeling sticky... from the finish being removed by the Deep Woods off.  Sprinted back to the truck and sprayed it and my hands down with WD40 to neutralize the Off. It worked, but not before I had fingerprints all over that unmarred stock. I fixed it though with some liquid buffing wax. Got my attention though. Off and nice wood stocks don't mix. Mosquitoes be damned. Same thing happened to me squirrel hunting with my Brno Mod 1 .22, I ended up having to refinish the stock. WD-40 is also good for removing grease from your hands. Just spray it on and rub it around then wipe off with a rag.

Spraying WD40 in the coffee filter basket before you put the filter in there will keep it up too -- just kidding  , but it does work well for cleaning mortar off of trowels, levels, shovels, mixers, etc. Clean them first with brushes and water like always, but when some old stuff you missed in the past starts to accumulate, soak 'em down with WD overnight, or even better, over the weekend, and they'll be much easier to clean Monday morning. You can also spray WD on windows and metal or plastic door and window trim before you lay brick, stone, or stucco, and your mess will wipe off -- you'll need to go back later with Windex.

Bar soap makes wood screws( especially those long deck screws ) a lot easier to screw Just rake the screw on the bar and screw it in . Works slick.
Seven dust works great on ground hornets. Wait till dark , sprinkle it around the whole. The workers bring it down . Kills the whole colony overnight.
Dawn dishwashing soaps kills wasp . Mix it in a cup with lots of suds. Dump it , sling it or whatever . Dead before they hit the ground .
WD-40 also works !!!!!
