I know it can be done somehow, but I am electriclally challenged. From what I have seen you use little jumper cable-type clamps and split some wires, and then can power even a halogen light. I need specifics (what type of marine battery works best, etc). Help!

I went out the other night and came back with some kind of liquid stain and some dark marks on my trainers and want to make sure I don't ruin them when I clean them. I also have a pair of timberland boots which just seem a magnet for black scuffs, any good ideas appreciated.

I painted the bathroom radiator which has the towel rail above it. When I put the back after 2 days they marked the paint. I've repainted it, how long should I leave it this time?
