Is there somewhere you can refill these handheld propane torches? There a infill nozzle on top. Also where do you even recycle these things?

>> No.1610848

>>1610846
They aren't supposed to be refilled. It's their business model to get you to buy more metal, and they justify that by making it illegal to refill it, so no company in their right mind will refill that.

You can probably build your own adapters from machined brass and refill that from a larger 20 lb bottle though. I'm not sure if the refill hole is closed shut (like a rivet) or if it is still usable…

I think the little nub on the right might just be a pressure relief
valve, so that the excess pressure escapes instead of having
the whole bottle rupture in a fiery disaster.

So really, what you're looking for is an adapter that will fit the
tank like the torch adapter will, then you connect it to your
20 lb bottle using a regulator and a valve, then you slowly
open the valve until pressure is equalized.

Make sure your torch and your bottle are for propane, as many
Bernzomatic torches run on a butane mix.

>>1610850
Meh, people would rather not fuck around with old bottles and
manufacture dates and pay a little extra for a new canister
every time. I am not aware of a store that will refund you when
you bring your old canister, but any store that sells that should
at least take it back free of charge.

>>1610852
They are certainly refillable, but I don't think you can fit a torch
on these canisters… Different thread/size? Plus the format is
not the same, the Bernz are easier to hold.

You can't overfill it under normal circumstances.
You're more likely to get it only half full.

If it is somehow over pressure (overfill, heat, etc) the tiny port with what looks like a tire valve is actually a pressure relief.
A schrader presses IN to open the valve.
The core in the bottle lifts UP against spring pressure to open.

God damn what r the chances this would come up today. You need a unef 1"-20 fitting. You can get one that's called throw away or disposable. Get one with npts or a BBQ bottle fitting. You will get 90 percent of what's in the big bottle. Pressure differential. Cascaded to equalized. Now I don't know what's in the little bottles, or the big ones so that may be an issue. You could get a hose and run directly off a big bottle.

To dispose of the blue bottles and camp bottles, scrap yards will take them if they have holes cut in them. What I do is save them up, take them up to my back forty, line them up, light a campfire behind them and shoot them with my .223 with 175 grain from 100 yards.

Sometimes, they launch a dozen feet or so, other times, nothing.

You can refill them with the adapters from Amazon, but you have to have tubs of ice water to control the heat, turn the 20 pounder upside down (to send LP into the blue bottle, not gassified propane) and should have the adapter connected to a 5 psi BBQ regulator.

It's a PITA and disposables are cheap. Plus it makes for good target practice so I'm ready when the Gub'ment tries to Molon Labe me cache.

I'd seen the 20lb to 1lb refill adapter at my local Walmart for $16. I've even, in a pinch, refilled my propane cylinder with butane. Chose the appropriately sized tip to snugly fit the butane tip directly into the outlet of the propane and it went in without fail. The butane through the propane torch tip has similar heat to the propane, I thought, and got the job done.

i took an old torchhead for the disposable bottles drilled and tapped the outlet to 1/8 NPT. then i took a standard propane to quarter inch NPT male fitting and used a 1/4 female to 1/8 male adapter into the torch head

screw together, open both bottles, flip the whole thing upside down. then pull open the relief to let gas out of the small bottle, this allows the liquid to draw in. you'll hear a gurgling. do so until about 70% full. this is the fastest way, but you can definitely fill them to 100% with liquid and thats a not good. 70% at most as once the bottles back up to room temp the liquid will turn to gas, and at 100% liquid theres no room so itll vent. dont be stupid and itll be safe

That's the problem. Those are remarkably shitty these days. Failing to run a half-inch spade bit (in wood, I would assume) is bad even for that level of quality, but it's not too surprising. If you want a decent drill press new, it will cost a few hundred dollars minimum, so it's probably worth looking for a used one on Craigslist or such. An old industrial drill is about the best to be had, but it's probably more than you need. If you can't find something good used, mid level chinesium can be perfectly usable. Just check reviews and be prepared to pay a lot more than for the bottom tier stuff. For perspective, I have never seen a drill press that's not bottom tier at a big box store.

Refilling your own propane bottles is really easy to do, and it's crazy cost effective considering they're about $3 per bottle for the green ones. I use the green 1 pound bottles and refill them from a 20 pound tank with a food scale and an adapter I bought off Amazon. They weigh .13 lbs empty, so full they weigh 1.13 lbs. I connect the adapter to a 20 pound propane tank, flip it upside down, and then hook up a green 1 pound bottle to it. Open the nozzle on the 20lb propane tank and let the liquid flow in. Don't worry it takes a few minutes to get it pretty full. As it fills up it also pressurizes the 1 pound bottle which pretty much stops the flow. I take it off after a minute or so and stick a screw driver in the one pound bottle opening to bleed some of the pressure out, then I hook it back up and keep filling. Take it off every now and then to measure the weight, and when I read 1.13 lbs on the food scale I'm done. A 20 lbs tank is about $15 to $20 depending on where you get it. I usually pay about $16 at HEB for a 20lb tank refill, so I'm able to fill a one pound bottle for about $0.80 and plus I'm not throwing away empty bottles and causing more trash. It's really easy man, I highly recommend filling your own. Here's the link for the adapter -

"Wrought" means "worked" as opposed to cast. For comparison, most steel is wrought, whether with rolls, presses, drawing dies, etc. To make "wrought iron", you take iron with too little carbon to be considered a steel, and work it into something. Typically with a blacksmithing setup (forge, anvil, various hammers and other paraphernalia). But if you're going for functionality rather than historical accuracy, just use mild steel. It's pretty similar, and is a lot easier to acquire these days. Making a wrought iron lamp involves shaping the iron into suitable shapes and typically forge welding them together (though more efficient techniques are available today). Note that your pic is not wrought iron. It appears to be a cast post holding a steel sheet enclosure.

LP bottles are entirely pressurized based on temp. You'll never "overpressure" one, because the liquid is (mostly) incompressible. Under normal circumstances, the air space in the tank will accept any pressure generated by the heating of the LP, and when you remove some of the gaseous propane in use, the LP will turn to vapor to make up the loss of volume. This is called saturation state. In any reasonable range of temperatures, it will stay steady in that state. This is why Propane needs a regulator: You don't know the exact pressure you're getting out of the tank.

What you can do is you can overfill: If the whole tank is filled with incompressible LP, a temperature change will rapidly cause a rupture, since there's no room to expand into. Since LP is cold as a liquid, this can happen rather easily.

Just putting it out there, as its becoming more and more popular as people realize that "wash rinse and repeat" started as marketing to get people to use and buy more shampoo. Its not healthy, it causes problems to your hair, which you buy more products to try and fix your damaged hair, its a big cycle.

Conditioner is literally made to leave a small film in your hair similar to natural sebum to make it feel soft and "normal" again.

Properly tending your hair is not that same thing as "not washing it" like an unhygienic deadbeat.

>How does your body now how oily your hair is?

The skin on your scalp are what triggers your sebum glands. Its not like a sweat gland, its a gland making sure your scalp is protected with sebum. And your skin knows the second you use a degreaser on it, leaving your head and hair feeling like straw.

Depends on what kind of service you have in mind. Normal clay ceramics are porous and granular, which means that they won't produce a good edge. A sculpting knife for working with clay would be plausible. A chipped rock would make a better knife than pottery clay, which is why people used rocks until they figured out how to work with metals.

I have a wall that I have removed wallpaper from. It was painted previously, and the top most layer of paint peeled right off with wallpaper in some spots, while still strongly adhering in others - see picture(despite the raised edges you can't just peel off the pain flakes easily).

What would be my best option to quickly and easily refinish the wall to be presentable? It doesn't have to be perfectly smooth or even, it just has to look acceptable if you don't look at it closely, it will be a temporary solution.
>how do I remove remaining paint
>what kind of paint can I use to paint it over

The wall is already rough as it is - it's either brick or cinder block, covered with plaster(but not the smooth kind, more like mortar in texture), painted with a thin layer of white primer that is not peeling off, and then the blue paint that is peeling off.

Is paint even an option or would just wallpapering it over after removing the peeling pain be easier and faster?

by the time you get an oxygen bottle and a regulator and adapt the bernzomatic hose to the regulator, you could just buy a small used plumber/hvac oxy/acet set off craigslist and have a real set instead of the toy.

Grease them with any old grease you want, even red automotive grease will do fine. You'd need one hell of a downpour to wash the grease out of the bearings. Or spring for aqualube like >>1632128 said if you're worried. WD40 excludes water okay but it's far too thin to stick around; it's mainly a penetrating oil. You want something more viscous (thick and sticky) so it stays in there and keeps water out. Just go straight for automotive grease or something similar, it's what people use to pack ball bearings in cars so it shouldn't be any problem for your barbells.

If in doubt, contact the customer service of whoever built your barbells and they'll probably have advice for you as well.

Are there any goggles/safety glasses/eye protection that are paint-friendly (ie. easy to clean)?

For the time being, I use regular plastic safety glasses (pic related), but eventually the lenses get cloudy due to airborne paint sticking onto them. I end up having to replace them periodically, because if I wipe them down with solvent, it just eats through the lenses, leaving behind spots that still hinder vision. I would like something more permanent and easy to clean (or solvent-resistant); I don't want to keep replacing glasses every time paint builds up on them.

It stormed here and a portion of the wood fence that separates my backyard from my neighbors' fell down. He said that I need to call/pay to have someone come out and fix it.

But the supports, struts, posts, etc., are on his side. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a fence is supposed to create a tall, flat surface that makes it difficult to grab and lift yourself. With the supports on his side, the fence is protecting his backyard, because he can (relatively speaking) easily climb the fence and jump into my backyard.

tl;dr Does the facing of a wood fence dictate who it belongs to, legally speaking?

Are you saying that you and your neighbor both think the fence belongs to the other guy? If so, and it's laying down in your yard right now, then that part at least belongs to you. If you want it fixed, you have to fix it, and I'd build a new fence clearly in my property if I wanted a fence.

I'm not a lawyer, but I've heard that if you build something accidentally or on purpose on someone else's property and they don't challenge it, after a certain period of time it becomes your property. Obviously that doesn't mean I can go around building shacks in the woods and claiming the land, but something like a fence or shed applies here, assuming there's any truth to it. The funny thing about the clowns being discussed in this thread is that neither knows who owns the fence, and the poster wants to know the "legal" definition based on what the fence looks like from a certain side, which is utter nonsense. You might want a fence that looks good to guests in your yard, or you might want a fence that looks nice from the road.

the ones I laugh at are where both sides have a fence, and they're about 10 inches apart.

I've never seen a wood fence built that way. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but typically when you want the inside to not have struts and posts, you build a fence like pic related where it's the same on both sides.

The tank bolts are applying pressure to the gasket which seals the flush tube to the stool.
As the gasket ages it can become less flexible and the pressure against the bolts is reduced.
At some point, bumping the tank can cause a leak from the bolt because the gasket is the only thing holding the tank UP and isn't applying enough pressure against the bolt to washer seal to keep it from leaking.

So I bought a used washer/dryer set. Minor cosmetic damage, they run fine, good price, and the guy even delivered them to my place, saving me begging a friend for a truck ride. The one catch is, the washer is filthy. The guy I bought it from got it from a repo'd house, and it had standing water in it when he got there - god knows how long it had stood. Algae and everything, all through it.

The washer itself is a somewhat modern Samsung, so it has a self clean feature. What I've been doing so far is scrubbing out any large debris from the tub and nearby area, running a self clean wash with lots of bleach, then scrubbing out again. Just repeating that. It's starting to look pretty clean, no longer smells, and not a lot of detritus is showing up after the cycles.

My question is, will this be enough to clean the washer, or should I be looking into disassembling the entire thing and scrubbing out the internals by hand? I mean, I can if I have to, but I really would like to avoid that if possible.

I have a bunch of driveway concrete and some areas that had some really shitty terace work with cinderblocks and I'm contemplating a dry stone retainer with the concrete
are there any books or resources you know if that can help?
I'm thinking a thick single stack but because of the height (about 1 foot) I'm wondering how to make it strong and what thickness it should be
the tall walls I read about seem to be double stacked and most other methods are for tall walls and I don't see good ways to adapt the methods for a wall that will be around 3 layers
mostly looking for help with making sure it won't start bowing out like the cinderblocks after 10 years

any advice is apreciated

What can i use to weatherproof a LED strip? Specifically, UV LEDs that give off light at 365nm. Here is the product in question;
https://store.waveformlighting.com/products/real-uv-led-strip-lights-16-ft-5-m-reel?variant=12339996721254

Normally, it seems, you could weatherproof such a strip using silicone gel/glue or something of that nature. However, ultraviolet LEDs might get blocked by this method. I contacted the vendor, who stated my assumption was correct, although he did not specify how much such a coating might affect ultraviolet output.

Does anyone know how i could weatherproof a strip circuit of ultraviolet LEDs without affecting the throw of UV light? Or, how i could test whether or not a silicone resin will block UV? Alternatively, can i just seal everything but the actual LED itself, and just be super anal about applying the resin to the sides of the LEDs but not the faces?

>> No.1636409

>>1636403
Silicone would definitely block UV, making a glass fronted case for it would probably be the cheapest way, otherwise you'd need something specially designed for it like Masterbond EP30-1NV

>Alternatively, can i just seal everything but the actual LED itself, and just be super anal about applying the resin to the sides of the LEDs but not the faces?
You could probably do that. Maybe paint the tips of the LEDs with wax or something that you can easily remove, then you can get in there with a caulk gun and goop the fuck out of it.

The project in question requires the ultraviolet LED strips to be mounted to a pvc or otherwise lightweight tubing that is no more than 1” in diameter. The whole setup must be mobile (ie; batter powered) and be able to operate in direct exposure to the elements. Unfortunately glass is absolutely not an option as a construction material, which sucks because that seems to be the one thing that would make this work easily. That masterbond stuff seems promising though. Googlefu is not helping me here - how can i look up its ability to transmit UV light? It claims to allow near-infared to visible light to pass through, but how can i find out how much UV it will allow to pass? I am looking for maximum ultraviolet output to effectively “light up” roughly a 20x20 foot area.

The stip you linked claims it's in the 365-395nm range and Masterbond claim the EV30 will allow 95% or greater of light in the 350-400nm range to pass through it here:

Nope. As long as there's nowhere for water to ingress to wiring/circuitry, you're good. You could probably just use modelling clay to make a mold and "cap" your diodes, might make silicone infill easier. Heat dissipation could become an issue if you're working with lots of wattage; maybe just dip the strip in epoxy and let the excess run off? I'm just spitballing here.

So it seems this is the holy grail of weather sealant for my little project. Naturally, Masterbond company apparently does not sell their product for personal use - meaning i cant buy it. Either i will somehow need to find a manufacturing/engineering company to buy it for me and sell it to me, or i will have to make my own company somehow and do a whole load of bullshit just to convince these dicks to take my money. Any suggestions on how to proceed? It seems they only do direct sales, and only to companies. Not something i can just buy on ebay or some shit.

Really appreciate the help so far dude. At least i know my project is totally possible and such a sealant exists - i just dont know how tf im supposed to acquire the sealant lol

Useless, and it just might kull it. Definitely harder on the motor/pump. If you have a tool that underperforms when the tank gets low but the pump has not kicked on yet, now it will take 3 times longer for the pump to kick on. Total waste of time and money.

It depends on who's land the fence belongs to. Also you don't have to fix shit depending on where you live. But generally speaking if the fence is yours the nice flat side would face away from your property. Rails would face inward.

Honestly sounds like your neighbour is trying to jew you into playing for his fence. But legally speaking it depends on who's property the fence is on, and there's plenty of places where not having a fence is ok.

It will take longer to bring up to pressure, but also take longer to kick on. I added another tank because some of my air tools draw more air than what my ac can output. The extra tank allowed me to operate the tool long enough to get the job done. Also, it's nice to just use compressed air to blow something off without the air compressor turning on and making my ears bleed.

All I did was change the oil.

My water radiator (cooling) for heavy machinery is broken and it is not produced or traded anymore, what's the best way do deal with this problem?

1) Try to buy radiator core parts from factory and try to make my own radiator?

2) Buy any radiator, disassemble it and make the required one?

3) Search for websites with ratiators that have specified dimensions and other technical characteristics? What are the most valuable specifications of heavy machinery radiators?

On the picture it's not a heavy machinery radiator, but still looks pretty much alike from the outer side.
