Probably DEET will melt them too, it melts every thing else it seems.

This for those doing the deed outdoors,

in summer


in boggy areas.

PS, WD-40 will kill paper wasps, I know.

PS, you have dogs? You have skunks in the neighborhood? I'd suggest having these handy then. wink




O I got to Alaska works to prevent skunk smell altogether. 😋


Watch it buddy,

I see what you did there! cool

And your solution to the skunk problem probably holds true for venomous snakes too?

Geno

PS, my neighbor already had a garden gnome statue she named Genome. You've been beaten to it!

Ketchup will clean up tarnished brass, copper, and silver. And do a real good job of it.

We did it last week. Just eyeballed it though.


I was driving a 1974 IH 1600 Loadstar down a gravel road when it decided to die. Had been acting funny for the last 5 miles.

Thought it was a fuel issue. Had good spark...

2-3 hours later and a trip to town for a condenser and coil it fired right up. Not sure which one went out.

Worst part was when I temporarily lost the tiny screw that holds the condenser clamp.

Lucked out and found it with a flashlight.

Haven't done this one myself, but watched it on Youtube and found it very interesting. Channel by the name of AVE, used alum with a small bulb for a heat source to dissolve a broken steel stud in an aluminum head. Took a couple days but ate that stud right up and left a nice clean hole and threads.

Mustard takes the sting out of burns. Put it on a burn ASAP and let it dry. Your still burnt but the pain isn't as bad.

Rub a bar of soap on a serpintine belt to stop it from squealing. Canola oil when tapping aluminum. WD 40 on the door knob and a hand full of dimes thrown in the yard, keeps the little ones busy and they can't turn the door knob, while you knock off a piece!

Various sized wrench sockets as bushing/bearing drivers.
Propane flow to find air leaks around carbs.

Long cord into the cab to engage a non-op choke.
Big "O" ring from a 4wd hub to seal the lid of my coffee mug.
Slices from rubber inner tubes for insulators/spacers/seals/gaskets.
Brass cartridge case flattened and used to clean a file.
Wife's bobby pin as a small cotter key.

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.


325,

I guess if you need to "redesign" something to make a tool that already exists, that would do the trick,

Or one could just buy a bottle brush? wink

PS, I'll remember your hack if I can't find a bottle brush next time I need one though. cool
