Apply the paint directly to the brush or sponge to stop the cardboard from curling. Let your paint dry for 2 hours, then apply a second coat."
article: Paint in the opposite direction to your first coat to help create a smooth and even base to paint on. Leave the gesso to dry for another 24 hours. If you can still see the cardboard under the gesso, wait another 24 hours and apply a third coat. Cardboard normally curls or warps because of exposure to moisture. Don't dip the brush or sponge into water before you start painting. Instead, use a dry brush. If the brush feels stiff, use your fingers bend the bristles back and forth. Watercolours don't tend to work well on cardboard because they require water. Choose acrylic or oil paints instead. Instead of squeezing paint straight onto the cardboard, dip the brush into the paint or squeeze a few drops onto the sponge. This gives you the ability to remove any excess paint from the brush before you start and will prevent patches of paint from sinking into the cardboard. The first few coats may be partially see-through, but it's better to have to apply multiple coats than to warp your cardboard! The more coats you paint, the more even and solid the paint will look. Continue painting until you're satisfied with the coloring.

article: Lidocaine is a common treatment for mouth sores caused by cancer therapies. Many doctors will write you a prescription for this fairly readily, as it is not a controlled substance and has few negative side effects in adults. Ask for a 100 mL vial. Viscous lidocaine is also fairly cheap and covered by most insurance plans. Get your prescription filled by a pharmacist. Lidocaine will reduce the feeling in your mouth, possibly making it difficult to chew, so avoid eating for at least one hour after using the drug. Lidocaine may not be safe for children under age 3, so make sure to keep the contain tightly closed and stored where children cannot access it. The common brand name for the first medication is Benadryl. You can find this easily at drug stores and it is often available in a generic or store brand. Make sure that you are purchasing the liquid (children's) kind. One bottle of at least 100mL will be enough. Get a bottle of liquid antacid, as well, like Mylanta or Maalox. Again, you'll be able to find these at any drug store, usually in a generic or store brand. A bottle of 100mL is again enough. You'll see that these ingredients are fairly cheap. A vial of lidocaine will cost you about $20 and may or may not be covered by insurance. Children's Benadryl and Maalox will cost about $10 each. Viscous lidocaine usually comes in a 100mL bottle. It is easier to use the entire bottle in a batch, since the medication is thick and difficult to measure. Mix 100mL of each of the other two ingredients with the lidocaine. For the last two ingredients, measure using a sterile medical measuring cup or, if you have purchased the proper amount in a bottle, use the entire bottle. Never measure medicines with household utensils. They are not always standard size and could give you the wrong dosage. Now, shake the solution until it appears uniform. Once you've done this, the mouthwash is ready to use. Be sure to follow your doctor's advice on dosage. Since this medication is used to treat a wide variety of conditions, your physician will give your instructions based on the specific treatment you are seeking. Usually doctors recommend that you use it once every four to six hours, for two minutes at a time.

article:
Constant positive air pressure (CPAP) machines are meant to keep you breathing normally throughout the night. CPAP machines send a puff of positive pressure into your airway at the end of each breath in order to keep the airway open throughout the breathing cycle. as a result, apneas due to the airway collapsing as occurs in OSA are prevented. Talk to your doctor if you are having problems using your CPAP machine. Do not stop using your CPAP machine without your doctor's permission. Using your CPAP machine may improve daytime sleepiness, blood pressure, glucose levels, and quality of life. If you do not use the CPAP machine regularly or use it for a while and then stop, you will lose any positive gains you made (such as improving your blood pressure). A dentist or orthodontist can make you a custom-made mouthpiece to keep your jaw aligned and your airways open as you sleep. While studies are very clear that CPAP is more effective than oral appliances, there is still strong evidence that oral appliances provide a significant treatment effect compared to nothing at all. Many patients find CPAP intolerable to use regularly but are able to wear oral appliances, and for these patients an oral appliance would be appropriate. Keep in mind that mouthpieces require regular adjustments by your dentist or orthodontist or they may stop working. Keep track of adjustments and change every three months or so. If you do not like sleeping on your side, then try sleeping on your back in a slightly upright position. You can use a foam wedge to prop yourself up while you sleep, raise your mattress if you have an adjustable bed, or use bricks to elevate the head of your bed. Only a slight elevation of 2 3 inches is needed. To use bricks to elevate the head of your bed, place them under the feet at the head of your bed. You can also use sturdy pieces of wood.
