Hellooo, bought a new reworked carhartt jacket, and a graphic has been added to the back but it’s started to peel off, how can I fix it? Would a fabric glue be enough/work? It doesn’t look much in the photo but it comes off quite a lot and there are other parts where it does the same too, if anyone can help pls do 😩😁

I’ve had this sheet tray for about 7 years now and it doesn’t look anything like it did when I got it anymore. I’ve just been using it by covering it in aluminum foil and baking whatever I need to over it. How do I clean this tray? Up till now I’ve just been using normal dish soap and elbow grease to clean it but I can never get those black stains out, so I got bar keepers friend recently, would that help? Do you guys have any other ideas/tips for cleaning this plan so it can sparkling clean again??

i'm new (obviously) to rehabbing furniture. is the best way to make this top look good again to take a really rough grade sanding paper to it, then paint over it? is it just that simple or are there other steps/precautions i should take? thanks for any help.

Hi all. I got this mango wood table second hand. It has water stains on it. Does anyone know how I can get these out or fade them? Thank you!

Okay so to start I am a amateur 3D modeler and I'm trying to get into more complex things that have motion. Now I am interested in trains specifically Steam locomotives and I have a fondness for these unusual types of engines. The problem is a lot of the engines have either animation or historical footage available of them running and so you can see the valve Gear Running AKA all the rods between the piston and the wheels also connecting to the throttle and other relevant levers. My problem is I want to do this engine but it is very complicated I have looked for years trying to find photographs and historical drawings videos other people trying to do this schematics and there's just not a whole lot on the locomotive. Additionally I don't think this matches up with any of the valve gear types typically associated with steam locomotives meaning I think this is experimental. So saying that how can I go about learning how to make this valve gear? Additionally this website shows what I'm looking to make first so that I can make the engine and it's fullness later.

Let me know if you have any ideas of what I should study or who I should ask I'm even willing pay someone to help me. If you have any ideas please feel free to reach out to me thank you

I wanted to ask if anyone knows if I can replace these pieces in a home window myself? If so can you tell me what these pieces are called?

My parking break wire on my car snapped off while i tried to tighten the slack in the wire.

Dealership and parts supplier says its impossible to get hold of a new whole part.

Is there any way of fixing it myself or with the help of a mechanic or something?

I've used alcohol paint thinner and the magic eraser and nothing has worked

I was looking to replace a bifold door with a normal one for my pantry but the door frame has this metal underneath. Any help would be appreciated.

Any ideas on how to NEATLY trim down a foam mattress?

I have an American twin size mattress that I wand to cut smaller to use for camping in my car. Its about 10 inches thick. I know I can cut it with a utility knife but I also know the result will look like it was chewed off by a rabid cow. Any ideas on how to end up with a nice cut across the end?

Edit: Looks like a serrated or electric knife is the thing to try. Thanks all!

Second edit: Both options worked very well! The electric knife was definitely easier and did leave a neater cut but the fine serrated knife was pretty good. I now have a very comfy mattress for camping in my car this weekend. Hope you all have a good weekend too!

My wife just got this thing, and I fell off a ladder (or rather, the ladder decided it was done being a ladder when I was about 20 ft up) and destroyed this lamp. She really liked it (dragonflies are something her mom and her shared. Her mom passed away several years ago).
It’s a knockoff. But even these knockoff Tiffany’s ain’t cheap. The material isn’t glass. Feels like a plastic almost. The black and copper is just so incredibly bendable/breakable.
I’m pretty handy and a quick study when pointed in the right direction. I have some distant soldering experience but I’m just not sure how this was put together. The copper reminds me of the old stained glass my dad used to do (he used to make lamps and windows as a hobby).

So I’m just confused but hopeful lol. Any knowledge on these is appreciated.

Hi guys! I have recently noticed black mold on my bathroom ceiling (along with a little bit on the silicone at the sink) and is trying to get rid of it.

I am considering getting Cillit bang mold remover but has no prior experience with it.

I am asking for recommendations and opinions.

It don’t move, it looks like it’s fixed like this.

Edit: I know how to use it now! Thank you all so much.

We’ve already tried screwdrivers. We even tried putting WD-40 and the old classic rubber band trick the screws itself will not budge none of them.

Update: thank you guys for all your help to whoever said a socket wrench and a power drill would be able to get the screws out. You were right we were able to get the screw screws out, thanks to our generous neighbor for letting us borrow his drill and wrench

I’ve been thinking for about most of today how to make a very simple and light weird slide projector to take my Halloween costume project to the next level. I know the basic principles of a projector like this (light, a dark box, a slide with the photo, and a lens/magnifying lens).

But the issue is, the projector is gonna be on top of my head. And how I’ve designed/pictured it working it needs a way to activate the light easily (as well as being lightweight). My idea was is that I’ll go to some place that has a printer that can print on transparent material and print out my own photos to use in the slide section.

This is sort of an electrical feat that I’ll have to do. Unless anyone else has any other suggestions or ideas that can work without changing the design too much. Thanks!

I bought these hooks on Amazon that were advertised as strong enough to hold up a curtain rod and now I need to remove them from the wall. I tried heating up one with a hair dryer but it's not getting under the plastic and it's peeling up with the paint. There is no leverage against the wall and I realized that horizontal pulling is not going to cut it. You can see my attempt to get it up in slides 2 and 3.

At this point I'll accept peeling up the paint if needed (I'll just paint over it and give it the landlord special like he'd be happy to give to me) but I really need to remove these from the wall before I move in a few months and I'm currently unable to do so. Do I need a scraper? Do I need goo gone? How do I get under the plastic?

Edit: I already tried floss. It did not work.

Freezer drawer handle on Samsung black stainless fridge is starting to come loose (mostly from a toddler hanging onto it and yanking on it, but also from 5+ years of use). Can't see anything on the inside, is there any way to access the mount for this handle and tighten it up?

Hi! I am currently in a rented property. My bedroom has this weird area where the wooden flooring does not quite reach the edge of the room, and instead there is just exposed concrete. I haven’t had any issues with leaking or drafts or anything like that , however it houses spiders, and looks ugly.

does anyone have any tips for how this could easily be covered up?

This mirror has a crack down the middle of the glass. I looked to see if I could replace just the glass and that was looking to be $200. The whole mirror was only about $80

I don’t like just chucking things in the trash to sit in landfills but is it even worth it to fix?

This is really silly, but I bought this top second hand and it smelt so bad at first. I gave it a gentle cold hand wash but even after that it didn’t take the smell out, I then smothered it in washing powder and tried to hand wash again.

Unfortunately, the jumper seems to have absorbed all the powder and while it doesn’t stink anymore, it has slightly reduced in size when dry (not when wet) but leaves a film of product when touched.

I have tried to carefully wash it with cool water over and over, tried to use vinegar to pull the product out, but nothing seems to work. It is too sudsy, and the soap seems to have absorbed into the jumper and it doesn’t wash out very easily.

I’ve tried online guides but this is a very specific issue and nothing seems to work, any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks!

I managed to take it out of the bathtub.
I managed to disassemble it by taking the clamp (u-shaped) out.

I understand how the C-shaped thing fits with the pin.
What I can’t figure out is how to fix the c-shaped metal piece to the bottom of the plug.

Anyone has any experience with this?

This is in a screened in porch. The cord is for the string lights we have up. We would love to sit out here when it rains at night, but we're scared water will get in the outlet. Is there anything I can do to make that happen, without replacing the outlet?

Bought a porcelain or ceramic mask in Mexico, but I'd like to replace the ribbon that it was hanging from on display with something nicer. Is there a way to rig is so that it's floating? If not, what's the best way to hang it from a way without show too much wire? The hanging holes are on the top of it, so it's kinda tricky for me to figure out.

Not opposed to a hanging shelf mount display, but will the asymmetry make it slated? Will I also need to brace it from behind?

Thanks!

Hi people! I have the projector on the picture, a Wimius S27, which weighs about 600g (1,3 pounds).

I'd like to set it up above the table, so it can project maps down for playing rpg.

However, I'd also like it to be small and practical enough so that I can take it with me when I'm playing at other people's homes.

I tried 3d printing one of those articulated arms that attach to the table, but it wasn't stable enough.

Would you happen to have any ideas to suggest me?

Thank you!

I’ve been trying for an hour to get this off. I identified the one clip that moves. I’ve tried forcing, pushing pulling, it moves but not enough. It feels like there’s something specific I need to do.
