INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Scissors will be safer, but they will result in a blunt cut, which won't look very natural. A razor will give you a nice, natural-looking taper, but you'll have to be careful not to nick your fingers! The Marley twist may come undone slightly. If this happens, simply find the 2 strands and twist them back into a rope. If you are using scissors, consider cutting at a downward angle instead. Boil some water first, then take it off the stove. Dip the end of your braid into the water for a few seconds, then lift it out. Avoid touching the wet hair with your fingers, as it will be very hot. Take the hot water off the stove before you dip the hair into it. You only need to dip it in by about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm). For an added twist, wrap a perm rod around the end of your hair before dipping it into the hot water. Let the hair dry before removing the rod. Go back to your large section and undo another 1in (2.5cm) section of hair. Split it in half and add 2 strands of Marley hair. Twist the hair into a rope braid, then trim the ends. Work 1 section at a time until you are done. This can take up to 16 hours. Consider enlisting a friend to help you. If you can't get a helping hand, take plenty of breaks. Cover your hair with a chic scarf to disguise the half-finished twists.

SUMMARY: Trim off excess Marley hair with scissors or a razor, if needed. Dip the end into boiling water to seal it. Repeat the entire process to make more twists.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Lance the blister in 2 or 3 places where gravity will help it drain. Do this by popping the blister on each side, near its bottom edge. Do not try the blister-threading method, which proposes literally threading a needle and thread through your blister. This method offers an increased risk of infection. Let the blister drain naturally with gravity or gently apply pressure in a downwards fashion, from the top of the blister to the bottom where you lanced it, letting the fluid drain through the holes. Do not push forcefully or tear at the blister to release the fluid. You may cause trauma to the skin underneath. Pulling at the dead skin that was once your blister can irritate surrounding healthy skin and leave your skin open to infection. Simply wash the site with soap and water or antiseptic, then cover with a bandage. This prevents bacteria from entering the site and allows for a relief of pressure on the blister area. Reapply the ointment and change your bandage every day until the skin has completely healed, which may take about a week. If you're not too concerned with infection, you can apply Vaseline or Aquaphor instead of an antibiotic ointment. Epsom salts help to further draw out fluid. For the next few days, put a half a cup of epsom salts in warm water and soak your foot or have an Epsom salt bath for 20 minutes once a day. Any increase in redness, swelling, pain, or pus indicate a possible infection and you may need to see your doctor and get antibiotics. You may have an infection if the area around the blister increases in redness and swelling. You may have a fever above your normal temperature of 37C. If the area is more painful than having the blister itself and accompanies any of these other symptoms, you may have an infection. Pus is a yellowish discharge that oozes from an infected site. If your blister or popped blister is weeping this yellowing discharge, see a doctor for a potential infection. Remove pressure from bony areas. Use doughnut hole pressure pads as needed. If you are a runner, you may need to consider getting a new pair of shoes or socks that fit appropriately to reduce friction and have moisture management properties. If you are a rower, wear gloves specific for water sports or fashion an oar grip out of tape to decrease friction against your oar.
Summary: Pop it on the sides. Drain it. Do not tear away the skin. Apply antibiotic ointment and cover with a bandage. Soak your body, feet, or hands periodically after the blister has been popped. Watch for signs of infection. Prevent further blisters.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take a pin, center, or prick punch and hold it against the top of the rivet. Using your hammer, strike the end of the punch to create a small dent in the head of the rivet. Be careful not to miss the end of the punch and strike your hand with the hammer. Some punches are spring-loaded and will punch the rivet on their own. that fits neatly into the divot. Find a bit that fits into the divot and is long enough to penetrate all the way through the rivet. Tighten the chuck so that the bit is tight and secure. The end of the bit should be thin enough to fit snugly into the divot created by the punch so it can grip it. The drill bit should be the same size as the rivet or smaller. For example, for a 14 inch (0.64cm) rivet, use a 14 inch (0.64cm) or a 316 inch (0.48cm) drill bit. Drilling the rivet will create lots of friction and heat. To help the bit pierce through the rivet without overheating or getting damaged, add a few drops of cutting fluid, or lubricant, to the end of it. Use your fingers to spread the lubricant all over the end of the drill bit. You can find drilling lubricant at hardware stores or online. Rivets are made of metal and they're often fastened to metal surfaces. Drilling against metal can create sparks or cause fragments to fly off, which could possibly injure your eyes. Before you start to drill, put on a pair of safety glasses that fit securely. Standard eyeglasses are not adequate protection. Be sure to wear safety glasses that are rated for drilling or cutting metal. The bit should fit into the divot, but you'll need to apply pressure to hold the end of the bit against the rivet. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or it could cause the drill to slip and the bit to scratch the surface holding the rivet. Keep one hand on the handle of the drill to apply pressure and another to hold the drill in place. Boring through metal rivets is done with pressure rather than speed. Start the drill slowly and maintain a steady pace as you hold the drill against the rivet and apply firm pressure. Don't press too hard against the rivet or the drill bit could slip or possibly bend. Continue to maintain pressure and a steady rate of speed as you drill through the rivet. Eventually, the rivet will be pushed all the way through the hole. Don't stop drilling until the rivet is completely removed from the surface.

SUMMARY:
Use a punch to put a divot in the head of the rivet. Attach a drill bit Add some lubricant to the end of the drill bit. Put on safety glasses before you start drilling. Place the drill bit against the divot in the center of the rivet. Maintain a low but steady speed while you drill through the rivet. Drive the rivet through the surface with the drill.
