Come on, you know what I’m saying.
Using Shoe Goo to hold a patch in jeans. It’s orders of magnitude better than those crappy iron-in patches that usually fall off after a couple times through the wash. It lasts longer than needle and thread because it gets into the weave, stabilizes and reinforces the weakened denim around the hole/tear.
Shoe Goo is great for fixing lots of stuff. It’s basically liquid duct tape. Of all the things I’ve attempted to fix with Shoe Goo, the only ones that failed were, ironically, shoes.
For shoes I use amazing goop aquarium sealant. My dad once glued some quarters to the ground by a vending machine outside of his job. It took 8 years for the kids in the apartment complex to finally pry it up and they ended up taking part of the concrete with it.
Wow awesome, this is going in the bookmark pile. I’ve been so annoyed with every adhesive I’ve tried for fabric. Cheers for this tip!
You completely reminded me of this stuff called “Plumber’s Goop” which I never once used in a plumbing application but it was everywhere in my fix-it life.
It was basically some kind of silicone glue-sealant and heavily rubberized, or at least the cured product was like rubber, but also tougher than a $2 steak.
I used to re-tip pool cues with it! No lie I’ve played more than 10,000 games of snooker/pool and never once did a tip fly off. The ability for it to weather that level shock and shrug it off was incredible to me!
With exception of some incompatible materials, for a few decades it was my “do you want to stick these things together forever” go to lol
It also smelled like a skunk’s ass. And probably was deleting brain cells in realtime. Maybe that’s why I haven’t seen it on shelves for a while
Spoon rests are just another thing that needs cleaning. If you are using a pot with a hole in the handle for hanging, a clothes pin can grip a mixing spoon while the other side of the pin gets wedged in the hole. Spoon drips back into the pot, and no additional cleaning is needed.
I made a padlock cover with a cheap bin and a hinge from a dollar store.The lock used to freeze all the time in the winter.
A butter knife is a decent screwdriver, but there’s no way I’d ever user a screwdriver to spread butter.
Using a wad of slime to clean dust & dirt from nooks & crannies
I have one of those car phone mounts that stick to dash or window. It kept falling or unsticking over and over. I sprayed the bottom of the plastic parts with glue. It’s like a spray paint can of glue. That fucker hasn’t fallen off in years.
I had one that stuck so well that my mom broke hers off when yanking on it, she just clumsy. Goo begone just takes it right off as needed.
