Once you have patched the concrete, can it be stained?

My house was built about 1972. My front porch has (what I think) are "half brick" floor tiles that appeal to be regular bricks (with mortar in between the bricks). The bricks appear to have becomes porous and now accumulate dirt/crude and mold. I can pressure wash them with Simple Green &...

My wife has a wooden doll crib that she inherited from her grandmother. I would guess the crib is 90+ years old. My wife remembers playing with it as a child and thinks it is her late mother’s. I’ve attached a photo of one of the wheels of the crib. The wheels are steel. The “rubber” on the...

My Lexus’s headlights have clouded up. What product did you use to clear yours before you treated them with this product?

In high school, 50+ years ago, I worked with a Master Plumber for two summers. The guy really seemed old at the time. I’m now 70. He was probably, mid 30’s at the time. He taught me how to thread pipe, sweat copper, etc. Skills that I never thought I’d need. This gentleman had more patience...

My two cents worth - I think the patch works on gas tanks that you're using "all the time" but what I'm afraid of is gas tanks that you use "some of the time" - you know, the ones that you use and then shove off into the garage and you do not notice the slow drip or leak until you see the...

Thanks for all the comments.

I’ve read all the older threads about these products but I’m going to start a new one. I live in the Deep South. Having a wood burning fireplace was fun at one point in my life but it isn’t fun anymore for many reasons. I’m currently staying up at a home in the Pacific NW that has a...

Roert, where did you buy these? Thanks

Aggie, why do I need 20 gauge electrical wire?

Anyone have an Amazon link for screws that will hold in OSB?

Aggie - I like the look of that.

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. Please keep them coming. A couple of my own comments: I’ve not had much luck with battery powered lights & since I’ve got 110v, I’m going to skip the batteries. My door is “old style” my safe is Fort Knox brand but I’m going to seriously...

I have a large (about the size of a coat closet) gun safe that needs new lights. The safe has 110v wired into it The current lights are smaller fluorescent circular lights that I installed about 15 years ago (before LEDs were around). When I installed them I knew they were inadequate. I’d...

My house has natural gas. Built probably in the mid 1970's. Pretty well sealed or at least I think it is until my utility bill comes. I have sheet metal chimney. I live in the South where we run the fireplace a couple of times a year. Buying firewood has become a pain and storing a cord...
