    Life tips

    Monster energy drink is better than many purpose formulated products at removing carpet adhesives. (A technique my sister-in-law found out by accident, but now uses on a regular basis in their rentals.)

    303 "Aerospace Protectant" is an excellent plastics protection and restoration product for paintball plastics. I use it all all my flex's to keep the plastics in good shape, and in time it will restore some life to the plastic. Also works on hopper plastics.

      Haha, yeah. That's actually why I have a bottle of it, for auto detailing, but then I realized it's also good for paintball plastics.

    My grandma used to use Coca Cola to clean metal stuff, she said that cleaning something with Coke would make it polish up better. She also had dementia so take that with a grain of salt.

      A guy i used to play with was pretty anal about keeping his car clean & he used Coke to get the bugs off the front bumper.

    50/50 mix of kerosene and ATF fluid will be the best penetrating oil you ever use.

    white vinegar is very effective at removing rust.

    pour baking soda down a stuck drain and pour in some white vinegar. better than liquid plumbr.

      Orange peel oil removes pine tar.

      I would presume citric acid based cleaners would do the same.

        If you get tar, or soft rubber tac because you work in a rubber factory, on your carpet, hand sanitizer gets it right out.

            13mm=1/2".

            12mm is for when you round that sucker and need to drop down a size. 🙂

            Do the stuff you know needs doing before the PIC tells you to do it.

              remember that work isn't forever.

              have a life outside of it.

              have more than just "Friends from work" because when work isnt forever, neither are they

                Dude, we had guys recently retire with 45+ years service in the factory. Screw that. I need 30 and I'm out.

                Just don't count on "work friends" in general. When you leave so do they. I learned this the hard way.
