I heard that some people use putty before painting the wall in order to make it easier to paint the wall. They told me that to use putty makes the wall flat and look nicer and you are able to paint the wall easily. I would like to ask if it is common to use it? How to use? and where to buy? thanks!

I need something that I can apply to curbs and bricks, I am having trouble with weeds constantly, I pull them but befor I know it they are back. The places I am concerned with do not have any grass or plants so I can use something that will kill all vegetation, I was hoping to find a home-made remedy rather than something like "Roundup"

Something sprayable that is not so poisonous to keep ants out of and away from my cats' food bowls. Something to spray around the area where they eat outside. I worry about them stepping on concrete that has been sprayed with poisonous chemicals.

Now i have several spots of pine tree gum on my car, which melted and dried tightly on the surface of my car hood. I tried to wash it out with different cleaning supplies, but it seems stronger than glass. I thought to scrape it away with something sharp, but I'm afraid to scretch car paint. What can I use to remove it safely?
