How can you paint the blades on a ceiling fan?

How do you remove ink stains from pants?

Although this is not the perfect solution, you can significantly lighten the stain by applying either hairspray or WD-40. Spray and blot with a white paper towel, repeat, repeat. This process will lighten the stain, but might not remove it completely. It really depending on the fabric and the color contrast.

Permanent marker works by leaving behind pigment after the carrier solvent has evaporated. The best way to reverse the process is to replace the carrier solvent, and then wick the re suspended pigments away. Sharpie brand marker relies on a form of alcohol as the carrier. Use common isopropanol ("Rubbing Alcohol") to restore the liquidity of the pigment (first, place an absorbent material between the fabric and the workspace or the stained fabric and the unstained back (as in a shirt, or pair of pants). Dribble the alcohol on, and immediately begin blotting in a quick motion with a cotton fabric you don't care about. Don't let the alcohol sit, or you'll perform chromatography as the different constituents of the pigment are carried away from the original stain based on their densities (the lighter ones move farther). Also, use something highly absorbent as both the backer and the blotter- the goal is to "entice" the stain to leave the garment; for this to happen, it has to have somewhere "better" to go. For heavily saturated areas, a lot of patience (and alcohol and absorptive material) is required.

If your KID is stained with Sharpie (as mine was), use denatured isopropyl alcohol (again, "rubbing alcohol") and several clean cotton balls. Avoid the eyes, nose and mouth, and use a fresh ball for each swabbing. Works like a charm.

The shirt (100% Cotton) my kid was wearing took a heavy hit from the marker, and I'm now out of alcohol (after cleaning him up), so I'm going to try xylene tomorrow, at work. Acetone will probably work as well, but is much more volatile, and so is harder to control the chromatographic aspects of it (it may evaporate too fast to absorb the stain). Either way, the shirt is toast, so no harm. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT try to use xylene, paint thinner, acetone, or any other organic solvent to try to remove a stain from a synthetic shirt (polyester, acetate, nylon, etc). The stain may fade, but you'll remove the fabric first!

How to calculate various amounts of fabric yardage?

Width Measurement * Separately measure the width (in inches) of each wall you're planning to cover, unless you'll be working around an outside corner; in that case you'll use one fabric cover, starting it at one wall edge, wrapping it around the corner, and continuing to the far edge of the wall. * To find the number of fabric panels required for one wall, divide the width of the wall by the usable width of the fabric, taking into account the amount of fabric taken up in seams (plan 1/2-inch seam allowances). If you are using sheets, use the width of the sheet. If your calculations result in a fraction, add a whole panel. This extra fabric width will give you some leeway to match the pattern at corners.

Height Measurement * Measure the height (in inches) of the same wall from the ceiling line (or lower edge of the ceiling molding) to the top of the baseboard. Take this measurement in several places to check for variations; use the largest figure. Before choosing sheets, be sure your wall is no higher than the length of the sheet. * Add 6 inches to the height measurement as insurance against errors. If the fabric has a pattern repeat, add the repeat length to the height measurement to allow for matching the pattern at the seams. Your final figure is the working height of the wall. Total Fabric Yardage * Multiply the working height figure by the number of fabric panels needed for the wall; divide this figure by 36 to convert to the number of yards of fabric required for the wall you've measured. * Repeat the calculations for each wall you're covering. Add together the yardage for all the walls to determine total required. Add extra yardage if you plan to finish the walls with double welt (instructions for measuring for trim follow). if i have a 54" wide farbric and the chair i want calls for 2 linerar yards but the fabric has a 10% repeat how do i calculate how much total bafric i need?

What are some things that are made of marble?

What degree do you need to cut wood on to make an octagon?

So with any shape look at how many sides you have (for octagon 8 ) and divide 360 by the number of sides (360 degrees makes a complete "trip" around from starting point to end point). 360/8=45.

Next since we are likely wanting to angle the ends of each side, two ends will make up that 45 degree angle. So you divide 45 by 2 = 22.5 degrees.

So to summarize,

Octagon - 360/8 sides/2 = 22.5 degrees

Hexagon - 360/6 sides/2 = 30 degrees

Square - 360/4 sides/2 = 45 degrees

Is there a voice morpher online?

If you typed this question into a real search angine I'm sure there would not only be online voice morphers, but downloadable ones too. If you've already done this and have ome to no avail, you'll have to go out and buy either software or hardware that has this function.

If you're lucky enough to own a Ps3 or an Xbox360 and a microphone device, as part of the security measures on them, there are voice hanging options on them. Or alternatively this can be done on many answerphones.

How do i get more hp out of a banshee?

The order of modifications should give the most "bang for the buck". CPI in-frame pipes then cylinder porting with wiseco pistons will give you a huge increase in power as the exhaust on these motors is far too small. Additional mods in order would be advancing the ignition curve +4 degrees, increase the compression ratio slightly, replace the stock reeds with V-force and finally increasing the carb size to 35mm. Buying a Dyna ignition is buying expensive minimal HP. The addition of a cool-head will increase reliability for WOT runs and a clutch kit will improve the clutch reliability for having now doubled the output power.

Who is Dr Breen in Halflife 2?

if you mean how do you kill him then basically what will happen is he will be floating up the column in the centre of the citadel, you should climb all the way to the top killing any combine forces that get in your way, don't spend too long doing this as you need to try and get to the top as fast as possible, once you reach the top and he stops moving, lots of metal will appear around him, you should equip the gravity gun and turn to your left, you will see a column with orbs floating up it, suck an orb with the gravity gun then blast it into where breen in stood, the key here is to make sure you domnt hit the metal with the orb, or it will simply bounce away, you need to be aiming for the bubble that breen is stood in, every time you score a sucessful hit you will see some metal come off, do this until he dies.

hope this helps :)

What is the value of 1973 Hot Shot pinball machine in good condition?

My "Captain Fantastic" pinball machine is in near mint condition. It was never in an arcade. I've been offered as much as $2500 cash. I've also had people laugh and say it's not worth more then $750. When I laughed in return and told them for $750 each I'd take two, they shushed up pretty fast. Keep in mind, there was an arcade version and a less expensive home version. The home version isn't worth nearly as much. Arcade models are sought after. There are 10 rare machines that have the designers signature on them. Those are worth a bundle.
