I liked the recent post with the bicycle bell mod, really anything to enhance safety, especially in NYC, where jaywalkers cross roads diagonally with their heads buried in their phones and then proceed to do the "evade me" shimmy when they finally see you coming.

I use it sparingly, 120 dB is on the human pain threshold for hearing, so it's quite jarring. A quick toot toot tends to resolve most antsy situations, but a nice sustained hard whistle can even help you be heard from inside yellow cabs.

The Yi cameras are really very good for the money. The Yi Lite gets great reviews and it's cheap, and you can use all the standard GoPro mounts, so you can use some Sugru to custom implant a GoPro mount on the face of your helmet. You can also use your general 3M tape to stick the mounts on nicely as well.

If you want to do that, unscrew the screw, clean the rust off, and coat it with a light coat of resin. I would recommend something like https://www.amazon.com/Miraclekoo-Ultraviolet-Sunlight-Activated-Jewelry/dp/B07KK37R42 and a UV light. This would allow very light coats, quickly cured with a cheap UV flashlight. But it is cheaper and better to get a stainless steel M4 0.7 4mm or 5mm pan head screw at a local hardware store.

If you work with XPS a lot, a hot-wire table is a big convenience. It's certainly not a requirement though.

Really though, all you need is the 'obvious' stuff. A straight edge of some sort and a utility knife is sufficient for most cuts. The same knife will work for whatever other carving you'll be doing. Beyond that, the rocks and wire brushes others have mentioned are good for adding texture.

A couple small, cheap things I find handy:

• Pins - These are handy for holding things together while glue dries. I also use them as temporary feet to keep a piece off the ground while paint dries. Being able to paint all sides at once is a huge time saver.
  
• Sand paper - This is handy for smoothing off edges when you want a more rounded look. I use a sanding sponge. It's convenient, but not worth the trouble if you already have sand paper laying around. Also, sanding makes a huge mess. Do it outside and cover your mouth/nose.
  
• Acetone / Nail Polish Remover - This stuff melts foam quickly. You can brush on small amounts to create an acid effect or give stones a weathered, 'monument valley' look. I don't use it terribly often, but at 99 cent a bottle, it's nice to have.
  
• Clear school glue - Handy for small water/slime/etc effects. It's not as good as the 'real' fake water they sell at hobby shops, but it's dramatically cheaper, and much easier to use. It even comes in a couple colors. I wouldn't create a river with it, but it's handy for filling cauldrons and such.

Books. Seriously. Especially since you mentioned you want them to learn.


Jigsaw Puzzles are also a good choice. Just make sure the books/puzzles you get are age appropriate (ie. don't get a Harry Potter book or a 1000pc puzzle).

If you ARE getting a jigsaw puzzle find some thing interesting that they can frame and hang in their room(s) once finished. Amazon, Micheles,etc sells glue that is meant specifically for gluing down puzzles after they are done (example; note that this is an example). On the same note there are websites/services that allow you to upload your own pic and they will turn it in to a puzzle (example; again I have not used this site/service, I link to it as an example). The cost of a custom puzzle is ~$25+.

What's the board game? My choice of adhesive would be a high quality "archival" acid free/neutral ph glue. Something like this adhesive. I have not used this glue, but it gets good reviews. I would use it sparingly as a reviewer suggests. I would not use rubber cement, as that has been known to attack plastics. And many common white glues would wrinkle the paper.

I love these bottles to fill caps... https://www.amazon.com/Precision-Applicator-Projects-Quilling-Painting/dp/B0799BZKGZ/ref=pd_bap_m_rp_9/140-3853068-8695403?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0799BZKGZ&pd_rd_r=917b4095-cad4-4936-9598-f8f10a0def02&pd_rd_w=qLbNn&pd_rd_wg=05QQb&pf_rd_p=fad01225-121a-4a4a-bbb6-5a41829a616e&pf_rd_r=H1V2WAPMC9R66JJ5P6JZ&psc=1&refRID=H1V2WAPMC9R66JJ5P6JZ

Loctite Glass Glue 2-Gram Tube (233841) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PSBBM8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XmFDAbE43VH01

Would probably be able to find this at your local hardware store as well

http://reconingspeakers.com/product/jbl-335148-002-woofer/ when you need a replacement. Otherwise, you can use this or rubber cement.

Okeydoke! Here's the ones I bought. They have a bunch of different colour choices (vitally important when one is sewing/worbla-forming!)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PJ2X65P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I went to Amazon and searched for "silicone" in my order history to find that link for ya. Boy howdy, I've bought a lot of silicone crafty items over the years! If you don't already have something like these, you might dig them as well. I use these as a gluing workspace, but I would imagine they might be nice to "worbla" on as well.

Here it is!

I used rubber cement back in the day to fix a subwoofer of mine, maybe something like This

http://www.amazon.com/Loctite-Glass-Glue-2-Gram-233841/dp/B000PSBBM8
I would try this but I'm not speaking for experience. It claims to be heat and water resistant.

Pic of the broken part? Used is definitely the best option, but could the broken part be put back on? Little super glue? Depending if there is a lever you can put some Sugru on it as a nice grip that won't cut your finger.

https://www.amazon.com/Sugru-Mouldable-Glue-Original-Formula/dp/B01BFE0KNQ/

maybe a tiny bit of black sharpie and then some glass glue and call it a day?

https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-Glass-Glue-2-Gram-233841/dp/B000PSBBM8/

or, if you are feeling crazy, try and get the crack to continue around the edge of the screen so it more closely matches the known issue and get it replaced.

That is so bizarre, I’ve never had a problem with UV resin, it’s my favorite. Maybe it’s the type you’re using? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVB2QW8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jKrvCbGJ9BHR7 this is the one that I use and I never have problems with it not hardening, I just use a regular UV lamp for curing, one meant for nails but it does the job.

I recommend going to a cobbler since the shoes aren't cheap, but you can also try using this if you don't want to. There is a chance that the glue might not function with the shoes though

I'm doing this! Its still early for me so I haven't ordered everything yet, but I plan to order Minted invitations and utilize their free addressing, and then plan to print some plainer RSVP cards from Vistaprint. Then doing vellum around the set and putting a wax seal on it to make it fancier.

​

• Invitations: Minted (80 @ $3.35; $268)
  
• RSVP Cards: Vistaprint ( $44.75)
  
• Stamps: ($46)
  
• Custom Cut Vellum: Etsy (4 packs @ 10; $40)
  
• Wax Stamp Kit: Etsy ($12.88)
  
• Extra Wax: Amazon (2 @ $9.99); $19.98)
  
• Glue Dots Adhesive: Amazon ($8.65)
  
  Total will end up being around $450.

Huh, I never knew about that. Yep, you're right.

https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-Glass-Glue-2-Gram-233841/dp/B000PSBBM8

Not sure if this is the good kind or not. Just did a quick google search

Sugru that shit back together! Cheaper than getting a new bong.

https://www.amazon.com/Sugru-Moldable-Glue-SBLK3-Black/dp/B01BFE0KNQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473193684&sr=8-3&keywords=sugru

Shit is fucking magic, I had a similar thing happen to an ash catcher.

Works great.

You can polish the blade with mothers mag polish or somthing simular, and you can patch the handle with sugru

Yeah this kind of stuff: https://www.amazon.com/Second-Repair-Liquid-Plastic-Welding/dp/B01CWPXK0M

During the summer I started papercraft as a hobby as well, and what I've noticed is that there isn't really one website that explains getting into the craft very well.

Here are some links I came across.

Essential items (also has links to models)

Zip Dry can be more useful than Elmer's for some projects

A Bone Folder is useful to have but not essential, can make scoring without leaving marks easier

More info on what to use for paper and some video guides


When I started I made a bunch of Cubees as they were quick and easy to build. As for tips on moving into models, I say once you feel comfortable and you don't mind wasting some ink, just go for it, grab a few models and just build.

When building a model it's important to understand how it's supposed to look in three dimensions as you're building it, download Pepakura Viewer, most if not all models come with a .PDO file, this way you can plan and build your model without having to guess what pieces go where and how.

I will post some links to websites with models, but if you just google papercraft models you should find tons. I'd say don't start out too difficult if you want to not get frustrated, find models that are between 1-3 pages.

Ultimate Papercraft posts a new model every Saturday, but also has a good backlog that is categorized by difficulty

Pokemon Papercraft is a good place to start as well, the creators also usually leave tips for the models that might not be obvious

That's all I can remember off the top of my head, I know there's some good stuff I'm forgetting, I'll post it if comes back to me.

Good luck!

Are you looking for those small bottles to squeeze oil out of?

If so, this is what I use and they work great.

It's just to contain the bleed through of the glue. Once the front is dry, I'll glue the backside eventually and probably use wax paper to contain the bleed.

Here's the glue I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/SunsOut-PG8201-Sunsout-Puzzle-Preserver/dp/B0006O8IFY. It comes with a brush on the top. It was on the puzzle warehouse website. Since I might make a hobby out of this, when this glue runs out, I might buy the modpodge as that appears the most popular.

I've used Aleene's with some success in the past. Glue in a patch first so there is structural support for the small pieces you want to glue back in.

When mounting to curvy helmets, just get some of this and do this.

I understand your frustration with their customer service, but don’t worry because this is a very minor defect. I have several shoes from more expensive brands with the insoles peeling back at the edge (it’s kind of inevitable with time and wear) and I always just glue them back down myself. This is what I use:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00178RING/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CWPXK0M/

What about Sugru?

GoPro Hero 5 is only $250. Grab some Sugru and attach to the chin of your helmet.

This stuff is ideal for applications like these.
SUGRU

I use a combination of techniques. 3D printed dungeon tiles, dry erase flip mat and tiles. If there is a nice pre-existing gridded map I want to use then I will print it at home.

I use a relatively cheap Ink Jet printer and I added a "continuous ink supply" system (CISS) purchased off eBay. It has paid for itself many times over.

I print the maps full size on many letter sized sheets. Trim the edges as necessary using a ruler and utility knife or something like This.

Next I will use small pieces of Post-It tape to hold the pieces together from the front side.

Finally, I flip the whole thing over and use packing tape along the seams on the back of the map. Then the Post-it tape can be easily removed without tearing up the map or messing with the images at all. You can follow-up by running a glue pen inside the overlap from the top of the map if you wish.

It sounds like a lot of work, but I can generally do a map that spans 8 pages in about 30 min from PC to finished paper map. It's much cheaper then printing at a print shop. After 2 or 3 maps the CISS and supplies pay for themselves. I try to reserve this for larger areas or maps that might be reusable.

Many map makers on Patreon also make modular systems, like forests, cities, etc. I print these out and glue them to 8" x 8" pieces of chipboard or cereal box. They can go together any way you want.

If you're after a cheap and dirty fix:

1. Camera tether stuck to top of headlamp https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sametop-Adhesive-Tethers-Compatible-Session/dp/B01BTRTFH6/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=camera+tether&qid=1571435406&sr=8-8
   
2. Sugru around the edge of the tether to reinforce the bond https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sugru-Mouldable-Glue-Original-Formula/dp/B01BFE0KNQ/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=sugru+black&qid=1571435550&sr=8-6
   
3. Strong zip tie through the tether and around the middle section of the handlebars, it's then supported above and by the original mount.
   
   Got the idea from this video (which explains it a bit better): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ2LPpbiZXc

A blob of Sugru might do the job https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sugru-Mouldable-Glue-Original-Formula/dp/B01BFE0KNQ

Not really, about $10 for a 3 pack or $20 for an 8 pack

https://www.amazon.com/Sugru-Mouldable-Glue-Original-Formula/dp/B01BFE0KNQ/

https://www.amazon.com/Sugru-Moldable-Glue-Original-Formula/dp/B00EU7DBNM/

The frayed wire is one of the standard use cases for this stuff.

The surround?

You'll want to claim it under warranty if it's relatively new, otherwise you'll want to use contact cement that is meant for speakers. Normal speaker glue doesn't really like kevlar cones or rubber surrounds.

If you still have the other section, I would get some Loctite Glass Glue and use that.

this stuff :)

So I got the idea off YouTube from a guy called MTB Alan. Super awesome video of him showing you step by step. Check it out.

https://youtu.be/SUtwXFQMA6w

$10:
Sugru Mouldable Glue - Black (3-Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BFE0KNQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5azoDb9ANG90W

$7:
Suptig Tripod Mount Adapter for Gopro https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071XVZKP1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0czoDbBPVN334

That’s it. IMO looks way better than zip ties, holds much better than zip ties. The Sugru is tested for 4lbs (roughly 2kg) and it feels solid as a rock. Took about 5 minutes to knead, 2 minutes to mold, and then let it sit for 48 hours. The pack says 24 will be plenty but since I used all 3 packs I decided to let it sit a little longer.

Hope it helps somebody! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

I can recommend using these: https://www.amazon.com/STAMPENDOUS-DT201-Dauber-Applicator-2oz-/dp/B0056PYJ9M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1467816578&sr=8-2&keywords=dauber+bottle

I was in a big pinch the other day and I used some Gorilla Super Glue and it worked pretty well until I ran hot water over the bowl. It re-broke (the stem was broken cleanly off a bong's bowl) and I re-glued it. It lasted a little over a month and then it managed to re-break again after 10 different cleanings. Not bad for some random super glue that didn't even have glass listed.

To be honest, I think the best bet is just to Google something like 'glass glue'... just found this super glue which seems to have OK reviews. http://www.amazon.com/Loctite-233841-2-Gram-Super-Glass/dp/B000PSBBM8

Like one of these styles:

https://www.amazon.com/Forgun-Silicone-Protector-Stitching-Needlework/dp/B07G5CLDN2

https://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Protectors-HotGlue-Adhesives-Scrapbooking/dp/B07L63FY98

I use the more full ones. HTH!

When I papercraft, including foamcore, I always use acid-free PVA glue. These glues are designed with archival use in mind. They are water soluble and super easy to clean up while also protecting the paper over time. I do not paint my foamcore - I am satisfied with black.

Just use silicone self-fusing tape:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HWRO9MY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

or use liquid tape:
https://www.amazon.com/Gardner-Bender-LTW-400-Liquid-4-Ounce/dp/B002CC05EA/ref=pd_sim_328_21?ie=UTF8&dpID=413CdGG5uqL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR82%2C160_&refRID=FY2E02TWCMGTEJPJYZ0K

or even Sugru (probably the best but most expensive option):
https://www.amazon.com/Sugru-Moldable-Glue-SBLK3-Black/dp/B01BFE0KNQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1465690927&sr=1-1&keywords=sugru

Right? My only reservation would be the durability of the tip since these are designed for paper. There are others though:
