Any ink based writing ends up smudged very quickly. Laminating means a thicker surface so you get different levels if you only fix a few letters. There is a transparent lacquer and varnish you can use which aren't too thick but I don't know how long they will last.

@@RODsDIY Thanks. I'll look into that.

$16 is not cheap in my budget, and even if I were more expensive, the value of making things last so we don't drown in electronic waste is worth 10 times that. On the other hand, I reject manufacturers that promote wastefulness. We must be more responsible with the future of our kids and their kids.

Thanks for the comment and subscription FatStereo.

Instead of absorbing paper? Thanmks for your contribution MH.

Yeah, we are living in times of unrestrained consumerism and drowning in our own waste, and manufacturers are the drvers. PCs that must be renewed in less than 5 years because Microsoft diches support, should be a worldwide topic. Are all those new apps and options really necessary, or just an excuse to make us spend our money?

@@RODsDIY Just found out you can buy replaceable letter stickers for only about $ 5 to $ 10.00 -- It has all the letters and symbols. I'll do that instead.

@@grantp4022 That's not very expensive, but I've heard they don't last long. However, I have not used them so cant back that assertion.

Sorry Rick. I studied this aparent inconsistency and have come to the conclusion that that is a mistake. When diluting the sample in half - 50% sample + 50% distilled water and you get the first colour you must multiply the original result (0.1) by 2, that is, the result is 0.2 mg/l. And the same with all other results in that dilution. When diluting to 20% - 20% sample + 80% distilled water - you must multiply the original result by 5. The thing is, SERA delivers those results directly on the chart and you don't need to multiply anything.

Thanks for your comment Rashidul.

You are a very busy person I see. But you waste your time writing negative comments here. That's very innefffffffffffffffffficient.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for your comment Finn. Which music don't you like, piano or folk? What music do you prefer? This is RUclips library music, with no Copyright issues. There is not much to choose from. There is some hard metal, but I don't want to frighten my audience. Any suggestion?

@@RODsDIY I do have a great suggestion. Use only natural sound, the sound of your work, the sound of your voice. Music works to set a mood. I think that is wrong on instruction videos. Music is terribly misused on way too many videos, and licence free music is often just an insult to your ears and brain.

@finnjacobsen684 Thanks for your comment Finn. I think I'll have to have a poll in my community tab to see what others think, because it seems to me that people like to have some background music, at least in those parts where I don’t speak and when I speed up the video. When the sound of my work gets repetitive, music might help to not bore viewers. And there are other reasons one uses music: like hiding children screaming in the distance, dogs barking and neighbours music (that can cause a Copyright claim), but still, I’ll listen to what my audience prefers, and decide from there. I much appreciate your suggestion.

@@RODsDIY Having worked with video editing for more than 20 years, I think I know what I'm talking about. I never used polling to find music for my work. I understand your concern for your viewers, that's why I think you should challenge them by not using muzak, but instead concentrate on live sounds.

@@finnjacobsen684 a Poll is not to find music, a poll is used to find out what my audience prefers. The truth is, using music in some contexts, as well as not using it in others, in my view, are reasonable strategies, but I'm willing to change that if my audience prefers something different. The same with the kind of music (hand in hand with the mood): Hard, soft, romantic, relaxing, and live sounds, used appropriately can be very effective in creating a good experience.

Thanks for your comment VjGenius.

I agree about the sticky add-ons. Thanks for your comment Saintpsu.

Thanks for your comment Tob. I couldn't agree more, in some cases it's the cheapest way to make multiple casts.

Oh yes. Thanks for your comment LBurou.

Thanks for the info, you are right, but is it not possible that the alcohol might pick up some metal ions from the surface, drag them down and then cause a short circuit?

@@RODsDIY Highly improbable, alcohol is routinely used to clean electronic circuits

@@ProfessorDIY With them live? Please test it, I don't dare. It would be a great video.

@@RODsDIY i will make a video showing it

@@ProfessorDIY Great. Please check in when you have it. I'll sub your channel to see it.

Give me the money.

Here I have uploaded a resource I used for this video (I don't know if I have the original link). I have a feeling there might be some mistakes (according to some turtles comments), but it's a good starting point with common names and scientific names. I also had a pair of nurserioes but had to leave only one, because we have a risk of dangerous mosquitoes over here, so I had to put an air pump and probably a filter/pump so it doesn't get swampy. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JkVEY9vLZPm0G2uH0Wh3Cq6OfB7XYaSo/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=108626420804921655127&rtpof=true&sd=true

Oh! I think I posted the links in the description.

I didn't help, I designed it.

@@RODsDIY​​⁠ I want to make shelves for my coworkers’ lockers at work. The lockers are cleaned out once a month so I want too give them something light but sturdy so they can transport the shelves fairly easily at the end of the month. I think acrylic would be the ideal material. What is your opinion?

@@PirateFunk Of course. You can drop something on to acrylic and it won't break, like glass. It's thin so gives more space than wood. It's strong like steel, but it's transparent, so it helps with lighting a locker and finding things. Yeah, I agree, it seems to be your best option.

@@RODsDIY Thank you very much for your opinion.

@@PirateFunk Ur welcome

Thanks for your comment Shiron.

Thanks for your comment Jim. After flaring the tube, the copper gets harder or less flexible, and when you tighten the nut the flare needs to be as soft as can be so it adapts perfectly to the cone shape of the valve, to ensure a perfect seal. Maybe I exagerated about it cracking, but repeated releasing and tightening of the nut might end up producing cracks and loosing the seal (in the long run).

Thanks for your comment Jamoliddin.

You are right. If you are a newbie, don't do that. As I have years in this I know there is very low risk of breakage in such a soft cut but still, a 1% probability is still a risk, and ending up in the hospital is not fun.

How about some celtic dancers? I'm sure they'd remove everything from my floor. 🤣🤣🤣

@@RODsDIY caustic soda is used on tiles all the time, caustic soda is in hand soap you know the soap that you wash your hands with, it is in laundry detergent, I used to clean off tiles like the wall in your video first I would scrape then wash all the heavy and loose fat off the wall what's turpentine then I would mix a solution acoustic soda wet all the tiles and white 10 to 15 minutes give it a wipe with a damp rag went down any parts that are still dirty with the caustic solution keep repeating the steps above and you won't have to scrub

@@Sam-black Thanks, that's a great step by step option, and as you say, with no scrubbing.

The effect you see in 10:39 on, is the acid attacking the dirt on the grout, not attacking the grout. I made a test on another surface and it cleans the grout very well, apparently with no secondary effects, although I can't guarantee it hasn't weakend the sealing ability of the grout - we'll see. I'll upload a sort of short with that test and another test I did to see if 10 mins of acid had any effect on the enamel, for your interest. Thanks for the Sodium Hydroxide (or peroxide) tip, I'm sure those are a good alternative to Hydrochloric acid.

Many thanks for your comment Miniqwake.

Many thanks for your comment Jenny. I love it.

Ur welcome and thanks for leaving a comment.

No, this is a DIY promoting channel. I suggest you google it.

When the bolt has a flat head, flush with the surface, there are a few options before buying a bolt extractor. Using the hacksaw blade is one, but it requires much more patience. Also, there are different sizes of phillips screw drivers. One size might not grasp it well, but another size will, just enough to loosen it. Some flat screwdrivers are small enough to get them into the X head, and as they are flat they might not slip. You might be able to stick another bolt to the head using liquid steel adhesive. If it's tough enough it just might loosen it or get it out completely.

@@RODsDIY thanks for that sage knowledge.

Thanks for your comment Geoff.

For brass or copper I believe the best we can do is use green sand (cheaper). A steel mold is not easy to make unless it's a simple form: cone, cube, half a sphere, etc. Maybe if you are a good sculptor making negative forms with a Dremel, you might get some nice molds out of a block of mild steel. People who make prints from engraved wood have knowhow that might be usefull for that.

If you have a model, maybe you can scan it to create a 3 dimension map of the form and turn that into a negative map of the same form, and with that map create a negative mold using the proper software and an egraving machine on mild steel. Of course this must be quite expensive, but should be quite precise.

Thanks for your comment Carlos.

Thanks for your comment Factstar.

Pothos is known to contain oxalates that will obstruct the absorption of minerals. Most plants in an aquarium will be chomped by big turtles. If they chomp too much they might suffer from it's toxicity. I wouldn't take the risk. If you need the nitrate consuming advantage of potox, put it in a refugium or sump separated from the turtles.

@@RODsDIY thank you for you opinion. I’m been seeing a lot of people using spider plants

In my experience I have found no noticeable difference in slow or fast cooling of copper. However, I must say that in my years as a gas fitter I didn't do much bending, I never owned a bending machine (I used my knee and sand), and in this context I never had any issue either with slow or fast cooling.
