How do you get out a burnt mark on a formica counter-top?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Professional repair people use an eraser type sander to sand down the burnt area. Then they custom mix a two part epoxy putty-like glue to match the color and carefully apply and lightly squeegee off the excess. A properly matched patch should be very difficult to detect. A second application may be necessary for deep divots. A countertop specialty store may sell kits to do these repairs

How do you tighten the handle on a hammer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You first make sure the socket in the head is clear and smooth. Fit your shaft into this socket and bang the other end on a firm surface, -the head will settle into position, but now needs to be pounded on with a soft face or dead blow hammer. When the end of the shaft is level with end of head you have it in position. Now you pound a small metal wedge into the end of the shaft to spread it. These wedges are available in all hardware stores in packs of 3-4 quite cheaply.
