A rubber piece fell off the bottom of my laptop. What kind of glue would be good for gluing it back? Super glue doesn't seem to work very good.

I have two cast iron skillets and I can not seem to get them clean. No matter how hard I scrub there is always a black residue when I dry them off. I am also not sure about how often I need to season them, wether it is every time I use them or once a week or what. I have looked online but some of the suggestions seem a little scary! I've read that I should use oven cleaner, lye and ammonia just to name a few. I started using cast iron to get away from the chemicals found in Teflon, so naturally I don't want to use these chemical containing cleaners on my cast iron pans. I don't even use oven cleaner or ammonia when I clean my house, too many toxic fumes. The woman who said to use lye even warned not to breath the fumes because they are lethal. That's not something I want on a pan that I use to prepare my children's food!!!!! I would appreciate any suggestions.

What products and tools are used, where do I get them? And of course they must be compatable: water-based, oil-based, etc. And then what product works best as a top coat to protect it all?

Does anyone have any experience with this? I just moved into a house with that on a few walls and was wondering how to patch nail holes in it. I was going to buy some in the same color to patch them, but it's only sold by the gallon and is like $34! I don't really want to buy so much and waste it. Any advise? Thanks in advance.

Birds try and fly into our house all of the time they keep scratching at the window and flying into them it is really weird and creepy. I didn't know if there was something to make them stop.
