sirgoldalot Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Lets start a thread on random tips that really work WELL... to kick the ball off... Masking tape that has gone dry or just rips as you try to peel it out.... 20-30 seconds in the microwave it works perfectly every time even on old rolls....even works on sellotape (might come in handy as xmas is around the corner...)

aris Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Removing limescale from glass shower doors - spray on some WD40, leave it on for a minute, and wipe off. You might want to then use a bit of regular bathroom cleaner afterwards, but the WD40 gets rid of the limescale splash on glass very well indeed.

Masking tape that has gone dry or just rips as you try to peel it out.... 20-30 seconds in the microwave it works perfectly every time even on old rolls....even works on sellotape (might come in handy as xmas is around the corner...) If the masking tape has gone hard would the rolls not be a bit stale boom boom I had problems with masking tape I started to paint my porch I taped all around the upvc door but then I forgot about it getting on with other things all of the time thinking I must finish that porch off but when I got around to doing it Could I get that tape off it took me hours in the end with a chisel scraping away at it trying not to scratch the plastic I wish that I had known your microwave trick sorry.

955i Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Always carry cable ties in your car, they can be used to fix a multitude of things long enough to get you home. Also, in an emergency I have successfully used a patch from a cycle repair kit and duck tape to fix a split radiator hose long enough to get me 70 miles back home.

hedd-wyn Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Instead of buying specialised cleaning products for the glass wood burning stove, just use the white/grey ash left behind from the previous fire. Wet a bit od kitchen paper and rub the ash onto the glass and it should come up as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Never try to do up your shoe laces in a revolving door. Carry 1 or 2 of those 18inch bungee cords with hooks on for decoying - use it to hook up one end of your net on bushes but best of all use it to go around a tree when you want to fix 2 poles against a tree trunk - one each end of the net.

Stupid tip and you are wrong. If someone is choking on an ice cube you need to pour 500g of table salt down there to melt it. Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Tilt a bottle of champagne at a 45 degree angle when you open it to avoid eruption. Contact lenses stop you crying when chopping onions. A drinking straw is the perfect corer for strawberries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
