Hi,

I need to be able to print my own window and car stickers from my home printer.

Is anyone aware of any products i.e special paper that allows me to do this?

I need the sticker to be on the inside of the window and be visible from outside!

The cold water pressure is fine. The water pressure everywhere else is also fine. I figure I'm going to take the faucet apart but thought I'd ask first.

...also, the shut-off valves are fully open under the sink.

Thanks.

We have a hideously discolored wall of brick in our home which also contains a fireplace. I would like to sheetrock over it and add a wood mantle around the opening of the fireplace. Any suggestions or warnings on this????

I have a few stubborn spots of the wallpaper backing and glue that was left over when the paper was torn down. I was using DIF to remove it, but I was wondering if there is any common household solvent/cleaner/solution that might work just as well.

After the recent deluge I have discovered a few cracks in my metal guttering. I have tried a gooey mastic substance but it so thick and messy and just ends up in big blobs. Is there a sort of metal type paint (other than hammerite) that is thick enough to cover the cracks but pliable enough to brush on. Come on you proffesionals help me out I can't afford the 3 grand theyv'e quoted me to replace all mu guttering.

How do I distress cotton shirts to make them look vintage? (I'm not talking about the print, but the cloth itself.) I want to achieve that "thin, faded vintage tee" look. Do I bleach, sandpaper, etc.? I wanna start designing my own shirts. Thanks!

I bought a floor coating for my garage (Ucoat-it). As part of cleaning the floor, the instructions said to mix muriatic acid and water to clean the concrete. I cannot find this anywhere. the instructions also say not to use a concrete etch, which is what people keep telling me to use. Any ideas? Know of a good substitute?

I have had mine for a while with lots of cutting and I think it isn't healing up as well as it used to. Its messing up my cuts even with new blades. Is there a way to restore it so that it will take my cuts better again or do I have to get a new one?
