My stuck VHS tape is inside VHS player of TV set. Don't see how to open this area--only acces seems to be the door where the VHS is. How can you remove a VHS tape stuck in a DVD and VHS player?

First things first, take the cover off the DVD/VHS player (unplugged), there may be a stainless cover over the vhs tape carriage. Remove this also. The tape should be accessible now. flip the access panel on the vhs tape all the way up, you will have to hold it up as it is spring loaded. You should see the actual tape. Lift the tape up and off any rollers or pins in the tape compartment. once this is done you should be able to manually push the tape out of the loading door. LonJames1 at hotmail dot com. Be careful, though, as the tape will most likely be wrapped around one of the spindle guides that sit beside the rollers. I lost a few tapes forgetting to look for that! wjs1632


Can you use pipe dope on Pvc pipes when working with saltwater fish?

I would use Teflon tape instead. That way nothing should get into the water. If you have never used it before, hold the threaded pipe in your left hand and wrap the tape over the top of the threads and around several layers. By doing it this direction, the tape will stay in place when you screw it into the fitting. Teflon tape only works on threaded fittings. using pipe dope is absolutely fine to use on fish tanks, just be sure to let the dope cure perhaps as long as three days. also take care to use the correct type of dope, their are many. if in doubt test the fittings in salt water before using. If you are just pressure fitting the pieces together, glue them. Pipe dope may seal the connection for a while, but it will eventually leak.
