Problem: Article: Choose the branch that you want to cut off, then use a hand saw to make a shallow cut into the underside of the branch, 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13cm) from the collar. The collar is the swollen ring where the branch joins the trunk. When you cut in this area, the collar will release chemicals that will help heal the wound faster. This is only for thick branches. If the branch is thin enough to cut off in a single cut, chop it off right at the collar instead with pruning shears. Make sure that you are cutting to the outside of the shallow cut, not between the shallow cut and the collar. This way, then the branch falls down, it won't rip the back off all the way; the bark will stop tearing at the shallow cut. Try not to cut into the collar, however, or the wound won't heal properly. At the same time, don't leave any wood sticking out of the collar either, otherwise it will become a breeding ground for pests. You do not need to seal the cuts. Leaving the wound open will allow it to breathe and heal faster. Do not cut through a bud, as this can lead to disease or dieback. Instead, cut 14 inch (0.64cm) above the bud. If there are multiple buds, choose 1 bud that's facing in the direction you want the new branch to grow in. Redbud trees have 2 branches that stem from the trunk; this is known as a V-shaped junction. Unfortunately, these can break off during harsh windy or icy conditions. Cutting 1 of these branches off will help reduce damage. Cut your desired branch off, 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13cm) above the junction. Cut the rest of the branch off 14 inch (0.64cm) above the junction. Spray or pour some rubbing alcohol onto the shears or saw, then wipe them clean with paper towels. You need to do this after each cut that you make, even if it is on the same branch. If you don't sanitize your tools, you risk spreading the disease to your other trees (or to other branches on the same tree). If you don't have alcohol, use a solution of 1 part bleach and 10 parts water instead.
Summary: Make a shallow cut under the branch, next to the collar. Cut the branch off 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6cm) from the shallow cut. Remove the rest of the branch, all the way down to the collar. Cut 14 inch (0.64cm) above buds. Remove 1 of the branches from the V junction if the tree is young. Sanitize your tools with rubbing alcohol after each cut that you make.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Oil will very easily remove the glue used to secure false eyelashes in place, but it also coats the false eyelashes and makes them unusable in the future. As a result, you should only use oil to remove your false eyelashes if you intend on throwing them away afterwards. The most effective types of oil to use are coconut, almond, and baby oil. Not all oils are suitable for use on your face, so stick to those recommended for facial use. Use your favorite facial soap and warm water to clean the rest of your face. Gently rub the soap onto your skin until it lathers, focusing on areas where there is still makeup. Splash warm water onto your face to remove the soap, and use a clean towel to pat your face dry.

SUMMARY: Choose a type of oil. Rinse off the oil and remaining makeup.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Set your oven to 325F (163C) and let it heat up. The process of seasoning cast iron involves coating it with a layer of oil and baking it. Seasoning, or curing, the pan will cover it with a non-stick surface, make the pan easier to clean, and protect it from rust. Most new cast iron pans come pre-seasoned, but you'll have to season any that haven't been cured by the manufacturer. You can still season a new pan if it comes pre-seasoned, and you should definitely season an old or second-hand cast iron pan before using it. Fill a sink with a small amount of hot, soapy water. Immerse a clean sponge in the soapy water, then wash the cast iron pan. Rinse the pan under hot water and dry it completely with a clean towel. You can also use a dish brush with stiff bristles to clean the pan. Most people recommend not washing cast iron with soap once it has been seasoned, because the soap can slowly remove the seasoning. However, because you're about to season the pan, use soap now to make sure the pan is clean. Dip a clean cloth or paper towel into some vegetable shortening. Rub the shortening over the inside and outside of the skillet to coat the pan with a thin and even layer. It's best to use a small amount of solid shortening for seasoning, because too much shortening or using liquid oil can leave a sticky residue on the pan. Place a cookie sheet or piece of foil on the bottom rack of the oven. Then place the skillet upside down on the middle rack. Bake the empty skillet for an hour. The baking sheet is important because it will catch any shortening that melts and drips off the pan. After an hour, turn off the oven. Leave the skillet in the oven as it cools, about one to two hours. Remove the pan from the oven once it's cool. Buff the pan by rubbing it with a paper towel or clean cloth to remove excess shortening. When you're finished, the pan should be a smooth and shiny black. Over time, this non-stick layer may wear away, especially if you use the pan to cook non-fatty foods. Repeat the seasoning process every few months, or when: The pan loses its luster and becomes dull The color changes from black to dark gray Food starts sticking to the pan
Summary:
Preheat your oven. Wash and dry the skillet. Coat the skillet with shortening. Bake the skillet. Cool and clean the skillet. Repeat as necessary.
