Depends on the number of molly... I ended in buying one, cos it is a lot more efficient and easy ! So yes, it is worth.

If you're going to use one or two in a lifetime then no.

If they're something you might use here and there then yes. It's hard work doing it by hand and using a drill or impact driver makes it easy for the teeth on the fixing to chew up the plaster board.

I've never heard them called mollies before though.

The plastic bags you get from walmart and places like that can be braided into surprisingly strong rope

Make a gauge out of a bobby pin or something.
Like make a small hole, the straighten the bobby pin out.
Create a square bend at the end, then once you have it in you can mark the pin. Pull it back out and measure it

>>963282
This doesn't work.

Use toggles or sleeves, instead. Then it doesn't matter whether your drywall is 1/2" or 5/8".

i think you need wood finish if u want to keep it shiny

you don't. If you did it right, the film will harden, as the oil cures. If you did it wrong (ie, didn't wipe off the excess well enough)... well, you're fucked.

Look at the incredients, because I'm not familiar with that particular product, but I'd guess its probably boiled linseed oil with maybe a little solvent.

Was the wood finished before? Because if it had a film finish (poly, wax, shallac, etc) it isn't going to penetrate and will just turn into a sticky mess on the surface.

If the wood was unfinished, it will penetrate and cure into a good looking, but not very protective finish. You can top with any of the above finishes after it cures.

If you do something like this again, I'd recommend my favorite finish. 1/3 linseed/tung oil, 1/3 poly (glossiness of your choice), and 1/3 solvent. Mix in a jar and wipe on. You get the look of oil, and some of the durability of poly without the coated-in-plastic poly look.

Where in the tub is the hole?
How big is the hole?

In the outside skirt? Easy fix.
On the top deck? Easy fix.
On the upper wall surround? Easy fix.
In the bathing well? It's fucked.

And fixing tubs is neither "Cheap" nor "Easy", expect to spend at least $25USD and have an entire day spackling in new Resin and sanding and polishing the tub.

Need more info, man, I'm not psychic.

a new tub will cost less than the fibreglass repair supplies.

>>963270
horseshit.

Any marine store, or even car store, will carry a basic fiberglass repair kit for under 50 bucks.

sounds like you got crap/fake wick material, or the stuffing has gone hard and needs to be fluffed out.

I checked the stuffing and it seems usable, also you can't fluff it out from the small, 5-6 mm opening of the fuel tank. How do you fix the wick of one such lighter? It's very weird.

Euro cylinders are held in by like one screw right? They are meant to be stupid easy to change.

Are you in euroland? Then you might have one.

>>963231
>is it easy
depends on you
>how to tell
if it has the same shape and size and not inside a handle knob or anything

The screw that is holding the cylinder in is really tight and I can't loosen it. So I tried snapping the cylinder lock like it shows in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lzX5sSTbig but the cylinder isn't breaking? What am I doing wrong? Is there a technique I am supposed to do?

You need a step down transformer/DC converter. You could probably find a laptop/bombox/battery charger power box from old electronic equipmentand rig it up, but why? You can purchase LED floods with all that built(with motion sensor!) in for like $40. Also, you need a surface mounted junction box if there isn't one there, and make sure to seal the space between it and the house with some silicone or weather stripping.

Connect it to a 240V->12V transformer. And add a switch to turn it on and off.

>>963223
Dont really need one with a motion sensor on it. Already have this one just laying around thought i may as well use it.

Also currently working on a fast charge adapter for the gf.

I know it looks like shit but it's going to be covered by a perspex box and painted black so you can't see inside it.

Im all for /diy/, but my 800$ phone is worth too much to me to do this.

I havent used ANY cable or charger except for the OEM ones.

>>963204
And if the oem one dies?

Are you planning to roll your own sensor fusion? Noise is way more dependent on vibration in my experience

>>963186
Invensense 9250 is considered the best. The 6050 is their previous generation, has similar specs, but lacks a magnetometer. You'll find either in high end drones.

>>963198
Noise-sensitive applications sample the sensor data at 4kHz or 8kHz, and filter it. It's not a lot of data, an M3 or M4 micro-controller can easily handle the filtering.

the current plate is kind of shredded.
did I use to much pressure ?
am I even allowed to use pressure ?

the previous owner told me something was wrong with the part , was it just the wrong kind ?
it's from bosch and 150mm instead of 125mm

>mods
Yes, there are.
>out-of-the-box touchscreens ready to use
No, there aren't.

You've got two viable options.
Option 1. Apply a touchscreen kit to the front of your existing display.
Manufacturers exist that offer these sorts of solution. One I've seen used in the industry is called EloTouch. They apply a glass plate to a monitor and provide you with a Serial (RS-232)/USB controller that you plug into your PC. With some clever hacking you can hide this in the bezel. It's kind of a big device (4u) though.

Option 2: Get a USB Touch Monitor and replace your actual monitor with it. One (and the only) example of this is the Lenovo LT1423p. It's a 13.3" 1600x900 touch monitor, which connects over USB 3.0, running proprietary drivers written by DisplayLink.

The last option, which is unviable for basically everyone, is to replace your laptop display with an iPad display. People have designed boards to interface these things to LVDS or what-have-you. The only problem is that no one has a clue how to control the touch sensor.

some good info to start with, thanks. I will look into those items!

I've also seen things like "digitizers" and glass panels, but have never really seen those things explained.

http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=&SearchText=touchscreen

could I use these to make a workaround?

A digitizer is the 'glass' part on the front of a touchscreen. They are essentially the same technology as a laptop touchpad, just a lot thinner and transparent - If you have a broken cellphone, you can usually separate the digitizer from the lcd unless that's what's broken. Looking closely you can sometimes identify the controller chip - the Xperia z1 compact for example uses a synaptics controller, which im hoping to decipher and feed to an arduino for giggles (ordered the wrong part last time I dropped it, oops! Might as well learn something from it!). So a tablet digitizer *if* it can be made serial/ps2/usb readable would probably work for you.

god fucking damn.

dump cold water on it and rent a steam cleaner, then steam clean it. i doubt you'll get it off though. just buy new carpet for that room.

Hot water, vinegar, h2o2, heavy brush, elbow grease, and perseverance.

>>963674
Hot water fucks with the proteins in jizz and makes it harder to clean though, cold water would be better.

Its a fucking automatic. You put it in D and don't fuck with it. The only time you need higher gears if you are driving up a steep hill or towing something. If you somehow are so retarded that you can't remember what lower gear you put the vehicle in 15 seconds after you started climbing a hill you should get yourself checked out for dementia or something. If you are talking moving it into neutral, reverse and back to drive you just count the gears as you move it up and down the shifter. Its not rocket science dude.

What is the world coming to when a fucking automatic is too complex for some people. You better hope Apple comes out with that car soon so you wont have to bother with that second pedal anymore.

>>963121
Holy shit anon calm yourself. OP just wanted to do a fun car project.

>>963130
He's right though, OP must be pretty dumb if he can't work an automatic.

Perhaps he can get one of those LED strips or some fairy lights and hang himself with it
