How do you remove liquid nails from a fiberglass bath tub and surround?

Unfortunately this will be difficult at best. Both are plastics. Spray foam is very tenacious. It bonds really well to most things (including tubs). That said; I have been successful at removing overspray from many surfaces over the last 20+ years.

Now, depending on the level of overspray, you might be satisfied with the results achieved using a 3-M Clay Block and their clear liquid spray polish.

Use a soft rag and liquid polish to gently remove the foam splatters. Spritz' the area with polish and "Gently" start rubbing the area with the clay block. This will produce decent results.

IF the damage is worse, or you are still plagued with "Spots", then your next approach (much more aggressive) may be needed.

Once you have clay blocked the area, use 1200-1600 grit "Wet" sand paper with cloth backing. VERY GENTLY, with the liquid polish; wet the surface and sand the affected area. Follow this process with a polishing compound. Like that from DuPont.

Remember; doing any of the above could make the tub look much better. If you still aren't satisfied; There are people that can Re- gel coat the finish. That process may cost as much as a tub, but may be cheaper than the cost to R/R it.

Good luck.

How do you remove the yellow stain caused by a foam backed rug from vinyl flooring?

Some vinyls will stain and there is nothing you can do to remove it. When this happens, it is usually caused by having asphalt on your shoe soles. If this is the case, the stain is in the seal coat of the vinyl and does not come out.

If you try bleach, be careful of about the amount you use and how long it remains on the floor. This too, can be a staining agent over time.

Washing machine can't wash after water full?

Without any details other than "Washing machine can't wash after water full?" I can only offer you a few possible culprits. The timer (the dial you set) may be defective (dirty contacts, etc.) The timer relay - specifically when the water reaches its full level the circuit now "knows" it's time for the wash cycle. Transmission - might be too worn to handle the weight of a full tub (if your spin cycle works okay, I would think tranny not a problem then). Tom Ridge

What is the best way to clean silk rugs?

There are many ways one might clean a silk comforter. Likely one's best option would be to send the comforter out to the dry cleaners to avoid further damage.

Sun-curing is the traditional way to "clean" a silk comforter. When the comforter feels weighty or begins to lose its heat retention or fluffiness, you can air it out in partial sunlight. Sunlight draws out trapped moisture, and freshens and restores fluffiness. Limit each airing to 1-2 hours, depending on the amount of sunlight. Alternatively, you can put the comforter in a dryer on tumble dry on air with no heat, limit drying to 30 minutes. Be sure to protect the comforter by enclosing it in a cover before airing or drying.

How do you remove a BIG Sharpie stain from fabric?

For any Sharpie stains, there are a number of basic products you can try, but results can be inconsistent.

If you're willing to make a specific purchase, the most likely product to work is called Amodex Ink and Stain Remover, which is specifically referenced on Sharpie's FAQ page.

To use the product, just remember to apply it before trying anything else, and you're almost certain to remove the marker stain. For tougher stains, you can use your fingernail or a brush to help lift the dye from the fabric into the stain remover.

The larger the stain, or the darker the ink was applied, the more you can expect to work it. Let the stain soak a bit in the stain remover, use your brush a little more, and use additional applications if the ink doesn't completely come out on the first attempt.

While it's best to not use anything else on the stain first (because that can "set" the stain), the Amodex still has a strong chance to work, and if it doesn't, you likely will be unable to remove the stain with anything. Just keep in mind that you can always try a little more, and there is always a chance the stain will come out with enough work.

How do you glue off duck tape from glass?

It depends a great deal on what type of glue you are dealing with. Most glues are best removed by scraping them off with a razor blade - the same way you remove paint. Some glues can be softened by applying an appropriate solvent such as acetone or toluene which then makes the glue easier to remove. Some glues can be softened by CAREFUL application of heat such as from a blow dryer or heat gun. A few glues can be reduced to ash with a lower temperature flame and then wiped away. It really depends on the composition of the glue.

Can you Stain vinyl siding?

You can stain them but you have to sand them first (in one direct) to give them a tooth and create a pattern for the stain to follow. You have to remember that vinyl is plastic and that it sweats. Once you've broken it's seal and applied another chemical, you are opening the door for a reaction (as minute as it may seem). If you can avoid this process and come up with a better solution, like using the spray paint for plastics (Home Depot), you should.
