What is the maximum psi a nail gun can hold?

All the nail guns that I have (4 different ones) run very well at 65-70 psi including a big framing nailer. Most guys on building sites seem to run theirs at 70 psi even when nailing really fast. - If it works at that psi, then there's no point in going higher as nobody wants to blow out the piston's 'O' ring and have to repair the nailer. Tool 'down time' is lost money in the real world !

How long can you store cement without using it?

Portland cement can be stored indefinitely provided it is not exposed to moisture. Most cement bags have a thin plastic lining to protect it from humidity, not rain, and is only meant to be temporary. Therefore, you should plan to use the cement product from an unopened, weather protected bag in weeks, not months. When the bag is overexposed it will result in "dead" cement, because it has already begun the chemical reaction with water, and reveals itself by hardening and clumping. Throw that bag away, it's dead.

Graphite is sometimes used as a lubricant and diamond can be used on the tips of cutting tools. In terms of the crystal structure why might this be?

The graphite is made up of layers and with a solvent absorbed in between these layers they can slip over each other, thus creating the lubricant effect. The diamond is amongst one of the hardest materials we know because the carbon is bound very well to each other. Thus it can cut other things and be a drill. Both are carbon, but the structure makes a difference.
