Hi Guys, don't know if you've noticed, but my local HD doesn't have any of those red caps on the caulk tubes that seal the tube shut after it's been opened. Not sure if it's something local, or if it's a bigger thing where the store wants it to be more difficult to store half used caulk, making...

Might be able to find something that'd work here: https://www.mcmaster.com/#drive-rollers/=1dya8q9

You might be able to get pavement tailings for free from places that grind streets. Evidently, they can only recycle a certain percentage into new pavement, the rest needs to be disposed of somehow. My brother got a couple of trucks worth and had it spread on his gravel driveway. Over the...

Glyphosate takes time; it may look like it's not working- but if mixed correctly it will. I've drilled and added a bath of ingredients directly into bamboo, and it's taken over 6 months. For a driveway (as previously mentioned) a Pramitol and Glyphosate mix is good. Glyphosate kills the weed...

I'm in, and thanks to SK tools!

I looked it up, "Ground Clear" by Ortho is Glyphosate with a pervasive root-oriented broad spectrum plant killer; Imazapyr. It would probably be similar to the Glyphosate/Pramitol thing I've been using. Imazapyr also has a long list of where it can't be used. One article I read said that they...

Pramitol is a commercial soil sterilizer, and has limitations on use in some areas. It can't be used near fisheries, where Glyphosate (like Pramitol; a broad-spectrum plant killer) is approved. I researched that for lily pads on a pond. Differences are Pramitol is persistent, and stays active...

Tractor supply also has the 41% for good prices, I've never found Pramitol anyplace other than online. One thing I've read about Glyphosate is that it kills plants at the same rate, independent of concentration. The reason to use higher concentrations is for really tough weeds. So there's a...

As far as Pramitol goes, it's absorbed through the roots also. Not sure of how it propagates, or if it does (I would think it would.) I've used it on driveway cracks for years, and it hasn't killed anything near the pavement. One thing they write on it, which might work in your favor- is it...

Pramitol and Glyphosate. -snip- Pramitol 25E is a non-selective post-emergent bare-ground herbicide concentrate popular for industrial and commercial applications. Bare Ground means exactly that -- wherever Pramitol is applied, nothing will grow for one year or more.

I made a countertop out of 14ga SS, bent without a brake. On the underside I scribed a line where the bend would be and used an abrasive blade to score it. The metal bent perfectly along that line. Then I blew through it trying to TIG weld it. If I was to do it again, (considering my meager...

Hey climb.on, the model I recommend from GW security is their GW4571MIP; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071RBTZ8M/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Fixed camera with remote zoom and night vision LED's. $159.00 All the other GW cameras have issues that shake off my BI software, and were returned...

For some this will be somewhat pedantic, but realize the purpose of this response. OP will be using CAT wire and POE cameras. First, stay away from coax/analog cameras; CAT 6+ is what you should be looking at. Determine a central location for all your stuff. Run CAT 6 everywhere you even...

Not all this applies to your situation; poly crack sealer. To directly address the crack, I've used 2 part expanding polyurethane crack sealer to close up a crack in my basement. (Poured concrete) In my case, I exposed the whole crack, and hammer drilled several inches into the crack, making...

Eastwood sells a powder coating kit and a heat lamp. For large things, powder coat them, and point the heat lamp at the thing, spot by spot, and it cures the plastic. I've done a bell housing with mine and it turned out OK. It's sat outside for about 10 years after...
