We have a ‘metal’ chimeny flue with a wood stack built around it. A squirrel had gnawed through the sheathing of the wood wall where a couple of the wood siding boards got blown off during Herricane Katrina.
I try to recycle everything but sometimes the labels on cans you buy at the store don’t tell what type of metal it’s made out of. How do I tell what metal these cans are made from? I don’t just want to throw them all in the “steel” bin. Can someone help me with this?
I bought a copper colored metal twirley thing at a swap meet – it had a pug cut out in the middle (there are stars, hearts, all shapes and kinds availalable). They also had a black one there – I now want the black one also and tried to find one at the Puyallup Fair but they didn’t have any. Does anyone know where you can buy these online? Or what they are called and/or made of – tin maybe. The are pretty flexible and beautiful when twirling.
I was given a pool with the metal poles that hold up the liner and the bottom ripped, and now I can not find the right liner for it. I am not even sure what type of liner it is. It is not beaded or overlap, it is the kind that you slide the top poles through the loops in the top of the liner and the pool is held up by the poles. The outside of the pool is also the liner.
By claymation, I mean stop-motion animation using children’s modeling clay. Me and my friend Andrew are trying to make a movie like that, and from what I understand, stop-motion artists make a skeleton or something for the clay models using some kind of metal wire. What kind of wire do they use, and where can I get it?
I got an old metal cabinet, sanded it smooth, primed it, then spray painted it. Is there something like a clear coat I should put on it to protect it or make it look better?
I’m going to a show on Tuesday there and I’m taking my camera but hiding it in my bra until I get inside but do they have metal detectors so it doesn’t go off.
I have a camp that I am restoring but I need dark green metal roof paint to complete the transformation as the metal roof is not in dissary to compliment the cedar siding..All replies thank you very much.
I was having trouble adjusting a photo inside a hinged mat since it was cut with very little room for error, so my teacher handed me two metal clips. They are placed on either side of the photo, you close the mat and adjust the photo, then when you open it to place photo corners the picture doesn’t move. I asked my teacher what they were called or where they were sold and he had no idea, he’d bought them when he was in college from some catalog.
The paint is flaking and peeling off the metal pipe. The pipe is rusty. It is the source for heat so convering it up is not a solution. This will be the first time I am trying to DIY. So please be specific and detailed on how it should be done right. Thanks.
