Use a hair dryer and plastic scrapper to try heating and peeling it off.

Woah wtf I didnt even know they made 99%. . . highest test stuff ive seen is 93% and I heard you have to speak to someone behind the counter at a pharmacy to get 96%

The reason I cared to look into it is because of the Beer Can Stove, portable survival stove made out of a cut aluminum can (it can be googled or youtubed).

You need really high test rubbing alcohol to use it - they recommend 96%.

But 99% would be even better. So there you go, you can use it as free fuel for cooking.

Three or more of these beer can stoves and you can cook a whole dinner all at once and its probably not going to use much of it.

The trick is the flame has to be snuffed out to turn it off, not an issue but you might burn yourself if you didnt know.

(also dont knock it over or spill it, because you'll get an explosion, if you're not an autist this shouldnt be a prob though).

Use it on your car like its seafoam.

It'll wash away soot and deposits, right?

It's the convenience that sells. Lots of people don't want to or can't take the time to make them themselves

>>1114954
Its at a Fiat dealer

>>1114954
probably something to do with the Dodge sign

The flow from the bottom socket looks a little low.

coca cola
wire brush
angle grinder

>>1112786
Put a wire wheel on an angle grinder
Youll have the whole job done in 10 minutes

>>1112788
I started with a wire wheel, didn't get far.

Also, I'm sorry that I will not reply for now, I'm going to sleep now...

>>1124112
This is completely fucking retarded. Why are you making a thread when you know the answer already?

Yep, #1 or #0 Phillips is what you want. You want a standard screwdriver, not one with a bit holder that won't fit in the holes. With Phillips you'll usually be fine with one that's a size smaller than the screws, but you *should* always use the correct size.

either you're not hitting it hard enough
or
it wasn't formed right and the thin areas are too thick

try hitting it harder near the edge at the connection points or between them

>>1123919
I'll try harder in a bit. I was striking it so hard with the chisel that the entire top would bend. Even holding it in a vice it would still give-in quite a bit. I imagine the fact that this is cheap hardware is having some play here.

>>1123923
put LID on BOX
put CLOSED BOX in VICE
take SCREWDRIVER, put on one of three points where it is held, sharp tap with HAMMER.
repeat with other two points (if needed)

Trick is probably keeping the box closed/lid on, oitherwise, it just deforms/absorbs your mighty blows. ahem.

>an aluminum flashlight insert I bought to go into a maglite head

take out the LEDs and mount the largest bolt (less than 3/8") you can with lock washers in part A. chuck in drill or better a drill press, use a sharp chisel to cut away the aluminum

since I had the foresight years ago to buy a tap for the dremel threads, I'm going to make a dremel table so I can just spin the insert against a bit at the right height

>>1123705
if you mean to hack off the bottom and make a new post, that won't solve the issue of it being too wide

>>1123794
I meant use the bolt as a mandrel and a drill as a makeshift lathe

Yes. You have cancer, sorry anon.

>>1123399
The asbestos ducts i dealt with look like fiberglass if that helps. Just get a breathing mask and spray it with water if you dont want cancer and wont be doing this shit daily.

It does cause cancer but not without a lot of exposure.

Pretty similar.

This is how it would look like if it were in a marching position, it would rest on your left shoulder,
The pipe sticking out is where the extender would go

Another converted marching picture where you see the mouthpiece (the grey thing )

>>1123346
Terrible idea.
If you just extend the piping it would throw off the tuning and you could never play in tune.

My buddy who repairs instruments had to rebuild a tuba from a marching to a regular one and he had to rework all the valves and lead pipe. You'd have to rebuild the thing

pull em out of dead appliances

If you want brushless motors look at racerstar on banggood. If you want brushed try kids toys

Thanks

Stop playing watch dogs.
Also, check out Kali Linux, I guess? It's known for being a penetration testing/hacking distro.
For the camera thing, electrical tape can fix it on a laptop... Maybe stay away from phones, or just remove the mic/speaker (yes you can use your speaker as a mic) and camera modules from the board

>>1123187
Turn off your television set and go outside.

>inb4 all hell breaks loose

Sparky here. I have to drill a lot of holes running wires, placing cans, hanging boxes, etc. I drill through all kinds of materials. Wood, concrete, metal, stucco, plaster & lath.

I've burnt up everything from Milwaukee, Makita, Hitachi, Dewalt, Bosch, and all the store brands Ryobi, Kobalt, ToolShop. I've settled on Porter Cable's hammer drill for general drilling. I can get about a year out of one before they catch fire and they go on sale for under 60 bucks regularly.

I still keep my Milwaukee triple gear reduction right angle drill in the truck for the intense work and an SDS for driving ground rods.

I'd recommend the PC for you. It's a good little hammer drill.

>>1123130
I forget, where is Stanley positioning Porter-Cable between DeWalt and Black & Decker these days?

Study what you can find on basic carpentry and modern home construction.
Understanding the differences between lumber grades should help.
Make a list of the main types of products your lumber yard stocks and sells.
Organize this list in order of what material you deal with the most, then go down from there.
Starting at the top of the list, do whatever it takes to learn what the materials are typically used for and how.
All of these items will be somehow related to other items on the list, as in, orders for roofing shingles will often times be ordered along with roof sheathing and specific types of fasteners.
Make freinds with the cintractors and carpenters you deliver to, and chat them up to glean what knowledge you can. Most guys are happy to talk about their work if they have the time. Kust listen and learn.
If you get the opportunity, sit down and have a beer with them at your local pub. You can learn alt from their stories

>>1123014
The NRLA and the APA have education resources. All the manufacturers of any engineered product have training materials for free , just ask their rep or look them up online and request info.

Call your local planning office and ask them what structural code they use. Then buy the book and read it.

Simson has education materials , so does quikete .

If you sell hard woods then there are other groups that have info.

But you can also learn a lot of the guys around you. If tou dont know about something dont bull shit. Say you dont know. Find some one who does. Then learn from them and retain that knowledge.


Build a good report with your customers. Eventually with enough knowledge and customer service you will be a sales rep.
