This tape doesn't use adhesive, but sticks to itself without constricting your cards any more than it needs to keep them grouped together. It can be repeatedly unstuck and restuck together.

Regarding sleeving, totally do it for every game. Most of the time it's <$7 overhead and almost no overhead over MSRP if you buy from somewhere like CSI.

There's this adhesive called Joe's Sticky Stuff that would work great for attaching your DACamp to your phone with or without a case. It's like the Russian Olympian version of the adhesive they use to stick credit cards to paper. You only really need an inch of it or so and it comes off cleanly when you want to remove it. It's reusable as long as you keep it clean when both sides are not stuck together.

Yes! I got some Van Gogh washi tape from amazon a while back

I've started playing around with wax seals using a variety of different methods, and here are some results from today. I used this wax kit (600 wax beads, a melting/mixing spoon, and 3 tea lights for $15 on Amazon) and this sealing kit (6 seals and a handle for $19 on Amazon).

The spoon that comes with the kit is garbage in that you are likely to break it during cleaning after your first session. I don't appear to be the only one who experienced this, judging from reviews. The wax is decent: it was somewhat rubbery after cooling, which makes it well-suited for mailing. (Some waxes harden too stiffly to survive the sorting machines used by the postal service. That said, it can be peeled off paper without too much trouble. Thus, it's nice for looks and will likely make it through the mail, but don't depend on it for security and make sure it's protected if you mail it.

The sealing kit is very nice. It's cheaper on Ali Express if you don't mind the wild west of overseas ordering, but I wanted something quickly and will order more seal tips ($1-$6 each) in a while. One thing I noticed about these seals (compared to the ones you might find in the wedding section of Michael's) is that the seal patterns were cut much deeper. I was concerned that they would be too coarse, but it really brought out the detail and now I think the seals from Michael's are too fine. One way this manifested itself was when I was testing different wax bead counts. The "sweet spot" is 3-4 beads, depending on the seal. You can get away with only 2, but rather than looking like a mistake, the seal's design ended up getting filled out with the wax, yielding kind of a cool effect: the pattern extended a little beyond the circle of wax, which now appeared almost like a popout backdrop. This was repeatable. Fun stuff!

After the wax cooled, I went over the surface details with a paint pen. I had good luck with Sakura Pen-touch paint markers in 1.0 mm, but you can use whatever your local stores stock. At Walmart, for example, that's either Painters or Sharpie. I do NOT recommend Sharpie. The quality of their paint is poor, leaving you with results that are oily and transparent unless you use a lot. Painters pens are decent but are much more susceptible to leaking and making a mess than Sakura, and aren't really much cheaper if you buy a set or have a local art supply store that carries Sakura.

Sakura Pentouch paint markers are available in fine (1.0mm) and medium (1.8mm but often sold as 2.0mm), in a wide range of colors: copper, black, white, red, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and kits are available for gold/silver/copper and black/white/red/yellow/green/blue/purple. I don't know if both kits are available in 2.0mm as I only bought them in 1.0mm.

Note that the rubbery wax's surface didn't like to pick up the paint at first. I ended up with either too little or too much. This can likely be solved with patience: lay down a little paint, let it dry to act as a primer, then lay down a little more. Don't be impatient like I did or you'll end up with too much paint and a messy finish.

Some other options for wax sealing include wax candles (with wicks) that you can light and drip, wax sticks (no wicks) that are melted using another candle, torch, or flame, and round wax/glue sticks designed to be put through a low-temp glue gun. I've tried all types, and here is my take:

• Wax candles are the easiest to set up and use, but can be the messiest. Easy-ish to mix colors if you have hand dexterity. These are harder to find as supple/malleable wax, and if you do, it's more expensive.
  
• Wax sticks are just as messy as the sticks but lack a wick so are slightly more difficult to use but less likely to turn black with soot. Supple/malleable wax can be found under several brands, including some carried by Goulet Pens, but they're somewhat expensive.
  
• Glue gun sticks are the easiest to do large, bulk quantities, but can be boring. Again, supple/malleable wax can be found but are more expensive.
  
• Wax pellets take the longest to set up, and the clean-up takes longer since you have to wipe down a spoon. However, it can yield the nicest results, particularly if you like mixing colors. The kit I bought was pretty cheap for the amount of wax, yet was surprisingly soft and I'm confident it can go through the mail without a problem, other than possible tear-off.
  
  Wax sealing is a fun addition to card/letter-writing, doesn't have to be expensive, and can really make whatever you're sending pop. I hope this post was interesting, and that it encourages you to try out wax sealing! :-)

going DIY is the way to go. I've heard this from the pros as well. There just isn't the selection of dance specific shoes. The pair I bought most recently was from ALDO There called Aauwen-R Dark Grey, then I just went on amazon and got some stick on suede. The only problem I have found so far with this was that I stuck them on and it immediately slid like a 1/4 inch. Which isn't much but that's 1/4 without suede on the outside edge. I think I just should have walked around to let them dry. I immediately went down to dance at a dance event. So probably user error.

It was pretty easy actually. Found some parchment style envelopes and letters and a Hogwarts seal wax kit. Both on amazon. Then just wrote up the invitations along with custom character sheets.

​

If you ever end up doing this I recommend practicing fixing the seals with the other colored wax that's included first before sealing the actual envelopes, and get more red wax if you're making out more than 8-9 letters!

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.

I have repaired an rpg book before and I just used linen repair tape. https://www.amazon.com/Lineco-Adhesive-Linen-Hinging-white/dp/B0027A5E34?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

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

I did and thank you! These Zip tie clips make all the difference in keeping organized. My string winder/cutter is also perfect for clipping zip ties short and quickly.

multi color gaff is also a great way to keep organized on power especially if you have varying voltages. Lost an older nobel odr1 that way :/

If you're using a frame that goes right up to the bottom heart, you could try using some archival quality linen tape to attach the fabric to the backing board directly. If you're open to finishing it as a cube or pillow, you could carefully stitch another piece of to all sides, very close to the edge stitches to match the bottom, and make that part of your border (like this but much closer to the edge) . Or you could deliberately tease out the threads around the edges, and sew it onto a pillow or ornament like this one.

Although, if I were you, I'd probably re-do it since it's less work to re-stitch compared to the extra work and cost of finishing the current one. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have a few awesome teen gift ideas, I will post some links to for you. Im sort of know as giver of random awesome things to my neice and nephews. If you can give me some ideas of what he likes I can try to track down more specific things.

These will all be through amazon because its easiest but they can be found elsewhere.

Tape

what cutter did you get?

for vinyl, definitely use the oracal 651 vinyl. here is a shitload of it for $30, less than $0.50 per sheet. If you buy it at a craft store it is about $2 per sheet: https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-651-Starter-Adhesive-Assortment/dp/B01NADR97B/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1506439801&sr=1-4&keywords=oracal+651

for transfer tape, I haven't found anything better than this. Shit just works. It is 4" brite line transfer tape: http://shop.vendio.com/cncsigns/item/911402157/index.html

you can also use the cricut or silhouette transfer rolls that they have, but honestly it sucks compared to the tape.

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

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

https://www.amazon.com/Hugos-Amazing-Tape-1-50/dp/B00W8H86HW

This might be what you're looking for. I heard they can really mess up your cards though so be careful.

It's from this set.

The easiest thing is to get parchment style printer paper, like this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L2OMUHS/

Then just use a simple word processing program, like Microsoft Word, or Google Docs, to create the handout you want, using any kind of script font (just not one that is hard to see) to create whatever letter/handout you want.

Then you can stain it a bit with coffee, burn the edges a bit with a lighter, and/or crumble it up into a ball then unfold it a few times, to make it look old.

I also go this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F3XG9VW

and some wax so I could do real wax seals on envelopes and things.

These make great thematic hand outs. You could use the same paper to print out your modifications to races/classes, just skip the stuff to make it look dirty/old.

I'm having difficulty getting the right things to come up, but I was looking at a 50' roll of 1" Hugo tape for $16 (which I think is much higher than it was before, I remember it being around $10) v. $8 for a 65' roll of 1.5" Frisky Bondage Tape, Clear.

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

What I would do is lay out some newspapers, and tape a blue masking tape "handle" to one side of the face of the lenticular art, then spray some spray adhesive (something like this but they also sell stuff that's repositionable: Elmers Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive, 4-Ounce, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00178ORYY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ChnjzbK50ENV3), then pick it up by the blue tape "handle" and carefully position it on the box.

Thanks! It was fun to collect! I very carefully gave the web a generous coat of black spray paint. I covered a sheet of card stock paper with a thick coating of spray glue and pressed the page into the web from the back side. I very slowly pulled the page towards me, putting extra pressure in spots where the web didn't appear to be sticking to the paper. I let the web break itself, and viola! I do wish I'd have let it sit for a few minutes instead of putting it straight into the frame and I wish I'd given the top a coat of spray adhesive as well but I'm sure I'll get to practice again soon. Good luck in collecting your own super cool webs!

Am I allowed to post that link?
Is that the right stuff?

There's a lot of ways to approach stenciling. I just started about 5 months ago and have a decent number of pieces completed, but i'm still learning each time I cut and paint.

I'll be happy to share a list of what I use, but just keep an open mind and remember that there's not just a single way to do this.

[] Materials []

• I use #11 blades [Link]
  
• I alternate between these two knives [[link]
  (https://www.amazon.com/X-ACTO-Designer-Hobby-Craft-X3254/dp/B002A2QTGK/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1501185899&sr=8-22&keywords=xacto+11+knife)] [link]
  
• Painters tape [Link]
  
• Spray Mount (Not spray adhesive - I just learned this last week) [link]
  
• 110lb cardstock paper
  
• Clear scotch tape
  
  
• As for paint I just started using Montana, which is a nice-to-have but definitely not necessary. I did a lot of my first pieces with Rusto - in general just stay away from gloss, super gloss, high gloss (it can work, but in general you will have an easier time with flat/mattes.) I went through a lot of trial and error with paint - I bought some Krylon paint which was at a higher price point and it was absolute shit (very watery and runny no matter how long I shook my cans.)
  
  
  [] General Tips []
  
  
• Making your stencils is definitely a part where people's methods differ (specifically in photoshop and breaking up your layers.) Just search YouTube and find a method that works with you.
  
  
• For larger pieces I use rasterbator. Stich them together with clear scotch tape and cut as usual. I tape both sides of the seams/edges.
  
  
• Take your time with your cuts
  
• Make sure your workspace is clean
  
• Let your layers dry
  
• Make sure your stencils are laying flat
  
• shake the shit outta your cans (especially with cheaper paint.) When you think you've shaken enough, shake for another 60 seconds.
  
• Mind the distance between your cans and the canvas (or whatever medium you're painting on)
  
• Take it easy on the paint, you don't need much to create a solid layer.
  
  
  Hope this is helpful, remember to share your pieces!

None depending on weather/mood.

Otherwise, a regular helmet wrapped/patterned with fluorescent gaffers tape:

It's beautifully ugly, in a Tron kind of way.

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

Hmm... this does look like the same backing material that is used on the replacement soles u/wanderedoff recommended on the post in r/shoemaking. Those soles do look to be suede.

The same company that sells the adhesive has whole suede sheets with the backing material already applied. This may be your best bet if you are looking to be able to cut to size instead of using the precut pieces.

Also, I've gotten into the habit of applying Sugru to all of my Apple-cables to prevent breaking and splitting.

No, it's too thick and the adhesive isn't really right for this (it will start slipping and dry out eventually).

Maybe try Amazon? https://www.amazon.com/Lineco-Adhesive-Linen-Hinging-white/dp/B0027A5E34

In order of my personal preference (though any would do the job):

3M Super 77

3M Spray Mount

3M General Purpose 45

Scotch Photo Mount

Elmer's E455

put the mic head on this then put a moleskin strip over it. then use this if the clothes still rub around. I've used it on every show, and one feature got into sundance, so it seems to work well

this stuff :)

I used an aerosol glue I got at a hardware store. Amazon also has it:

https://www.amazon.com/Elmers-E452-Multi-Purpose-Adhesive-4-Ounce/dp/B00178ORYY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521941650&sr=8-1&keywords=elmers+multipurpose+spray+adhesive

Craftopia Magnetic Adhesive... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076DFD3N5?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

These are what I use. Sticks to the wall great.

I also had trouble getting used to the plasticky palmrest on my T430s. So I bought some peel-and-stick suede and cut out some patches for my palmrest: It feels amazing.

The screen still latches on my T430s, but your T440 doesn't have a screen latch anyway. It doesn't look that weird having patches of suede on the palm rest, and the feel far outweighs cosmetic concerns for me. I'm not sure how it will fare as far as keeping it clean over time, we'll have to see. But the price was right for this experiment.

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.

I was on mobile earlier here are the links summer and glitter these are from the US amazon, I couldn't find them on the UK amazon.

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.

Consider giving this stuff a shot next time.

Its from Amazon. I want to get s9me ofthe other colours at some point (hopefully this works, I'm in my mobile):

This tape is similar to the adhesive that is used on command hooks. It is quite strong but can be removed from a wall without damaging the paint. Not cheap but a little goes a long way. Popular on movie sets.
