Probably subtle differences in the bit that goes in there so you can spin it either way. Rightie tightie, leftie flies across the shop.

Sorry m8, batting is the shiz you need unless you wanna be cold.


You wanna do a cool trick? Remove it and install some of that thin R8 batting, then add some solar blanket.

Well I bought it >:C

The Erector Set.

Buy or pass? Y/N?

Price tag is $39.99

I just put Corian glue on it with some tape to mold it over the sharp spots.

I make more an hour here than I ever did or could have at Wendy's where I came from. Or the other sports bar I took up as a second part time job. I make more an hour as well as get all the overtime I can manage. I put in over 60 hours last week.

>>831801
no

>>831812

rainbow silicone to glue it down where no one can see it, clear where they can. Try to match the silicone to the color of the material.

And epoxy.

>>831826
because your post drips of peanut butter and jelly.

Did some counters today for a public pharmacy. We did a cream colored Corian. I had to handsand behind the bullnose all the sharp points off so some retarded autist kid didn't cut themselves when running their fingers under it.

I can't handle that responsibility. No pics because I'm pretty sure I work with a guy who knows what this website is. I am not prepared to have this conversation with him.

>Zep made a blue colored soap


Hey, that's the stuff that a bike shop used to clean my old dirty dirtbike up. Made it look brand new, especially new for a 25yo bike.

>It would also eat the flesh off your hands, so...


hence why we recommend getting a new piece lol

>oil was shit against the canola and hamburger oil I used so I don't know what to say.

**bleach was shit against the canola and hamburger oil I worked with so I don't know what more to say other than you've got an incredible uphill battle.

>>829737

You know, usually we'd just recommend replacing the piece ;P

I've tried using acetone to get a rubber mark out and got most of it, but it still left a surly mark. The trouble is this material is incredibly porous and stains like oil can set in are, well you already know. You can try to make a barrier like >>829773 said, but how bleach works is it breaks down proteins and it may break down the oil. However, when I was a fast food worker, oil was shit against the canola and hamburger oil I used so I don't know what to say.

An idea for a barrier is to use some clear silicone. Don't worry about pulling it off, just use a razor and shave it off.

But before you use any weird substances, test them on an area like behind the sink or behind some trim/backsplash. If it's bad for your material, you've only ruined a spot that no one will hardly look at.

It was up a 40ft staircase in a hand-built 3story house on a steep hillside, just to help accentuate how comfy it is.

I learned how to say, "left, right and straight," in Spanish today.

I also learned that my coworkers call the fat one, "Gamba," which apparently means "piggy,".

Another kitchen today. The island was ridiculously heavy like usual.

I'd post a picture of my nuts on some granite, with a time stamp if this were a different board.

Sorry, missed that.

I walked in and dropped off my resume. I was at the right place and the right time, dropping off the wrong resume. I gave them one that had all of my restaurant credentials, not automotive or maintenance.

They saw me not having any sort of installer experience and picked me to train me from the ground up.

They're starting me at $11/hour with raises for OTJ experience. Also, you can't be sketch looking. You have to be straight forward and honest, because you are going into people's homes. You can't be funny looking.

And so do other rocks.

Thanks for pointing that out. Like I said, I've only been doing this for a month.

>>827194

It's all about being... the Top... lol

>>826604
Idk bruh

>>826618
Typically it's free...

Already showed the picture...

Corian is plastic, hence engineered.

>>825363


Not like that. That shit has to be some weird laminate, I can tell you that right now.

>>825359
Or just not be a slob and keep it nice.

>>824954
>Is there a way to tell the difference between the two?

Oh, sorry. I forgot to answer your whole post.

How to tell, the natural stuff isn't as uniform in pattern. Look for any sort of pattern, be it the bits of rock inside are all the same size or color being uniform through out. With natural stone, nothing is normal. No pattern, no consistency, no... layout. Engineered is made to be pretty. I'll see about grabbing a few pics for examples tomorrow.
