Q: Make sure to wear gloves, mask and eye protection. You should also wear an apron and rubber boots to protect yourself. Muriatic acid is caustic and can cause burns. You should maximize ventilation by placing a running fan in the bathroom window to exhaust air. If you have a bathroom exhaust fan, turn that on too. to the toilet and flush. Use a sponge to remove the water left in bowl. This will ensure the acid will clean the bowl to the bottom, including the critical jet-hole. This is a smaller hole at the bottom of the toilet bowl; water is pushed out of it forcefully to help the toilet flush. You'll see it in action at the end of a flush, and buildup here may be responsible for a slow flush. If there is a fill tube on top of the overflow tube, carefully take that off first. The funnel's opening should be as large as possible, to facilitate pouring, but fit snugly in the overflow tube. Make sure not to use a metal funnel; the acid will corrode it. Rinse the funnel well after use and do not reuse it for food. You should only pour a few ounces of diluted acid into the tube. You should pour fast enough that it begins to flow out of the holes in the toilet bowl rim but not so fast that the funnel overflows or falls out, as this would splash acid and be extremely dangerous. Pour the rest of the gallon into the toilet bowl; this will help clear the drain. The tighter the seal the better. Just cover the bowl portion, do not include the seat. This will keep the acid's fumes from filling the bathroom. Alternatively you can use a clear trash bag to cover the toilet bowl. If there are children or pets in your home, make sure the door to the bathroom is closed and locked. The acid will dislodge mineral deposits in the toilet bowl and the drain over time. You'll have to make sure to turn on the water first. Extra flushes are advisable in older homes with iron drain pipes, as prolonged contact with concentrated acid will damage them. You can find these holes under the toilet rim. They propel water to fill the bowl whenever you flush. Make sure that water flows freely from these holes whenever you flush. You can also use a coat hanger to check the holes for obstructions and other build ups. If you see any build up under the rim, use a baby bottle brush to scrub it off. Repeat the procedure if necessary.
A: Take the necessary safety precautions. Turn off the water Take off the tank cover and insert a plastic funnel into the overflow tube. Carefully pour diluted muriatic acid through the funnel. Tape a clear piece of poly-film over the toilet bowl and tank opening. Let the acid sit in the toilet for 24 hours. Remove the poly-film and flush a few times. Check the rim holes for proper flow.

Article: The glue must be applied with a syringe, because it is water-thin and works by melting the acrylic to bond two pieces together. Using a 25 gauge syringe, apply a small amount of methylene chloride (such as Weld-On #3) to the joint between the two acrylic glass pieces, drawing the syringe toward you rather than pushing it away. Wear heavy rubber gloves and safety glasses when applying the methylene chloride. Do not attempt to apply the solvent cement to the pieces separately and then press them together. This method will produce a weaker joint and up the risk of drips. These will melt and deform any acrylic glass they touch. You should let the glue set for 24-48 hours to ensure a secure bond. You can then remove any clamps or tape that were holding the pieces of acrylic glass together. Allow the glue to set completely, then use a fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough patches of adhesive. Clean off the dust when you are finished sanding by washing the acrylic glass with soap and water or isopropyl alcohol. If the acrylic glass will be used to contain water, you should check your joint for leaks. Run water over the joint or submerge the piece in water, and check for the appearance of leaks. If the glass leaks, allow it to dry thoroughly then apply additional glue to the joint.

Apply the glue to the joint. Allow the glue to set. Sand the joint smooth. Check the joint to ensure it is watertight. Finished.

Article: If your crush doesn't know you exist, try introducing yourself. If you're in a class together, you can use that as an excuse to start talking to your crush. For instance, say you have history class together. You could say, "Hi, I'm Janie. We're in history together. What did you think of that boring lesson Mrs. Johnson gave the other day?" or "Hi, I'm John. I sit across from you in math. I was wondering if I could borrow your notes for the last class." See if you can get the person to spend time with you. If you're able to hang out more, you may be able to make friends with the person. Start with hanging out at school first. Maybe you can eat lunch together or spend some time together in the library. One way to get to know a person is to let them talk about themselves. Question them about their lives, such as asking them about their favorite color, their family, or their favorite books and movies. It's important to listen to the answers, too. That is, pay attention to what's being said. One way you can show you're listening is by making comments on what the person is saying or asking related questions. One way to build a friendship is to laugh and have fun together. Share a book of your favorite jokes with the person or giggle together over a silly picture. Having fun together can bring you closer. Lend the person your book when she asks. Bring an extra cookie to school for him when you make some for yourself. Offer to take down notes if she's going to be gone for the day. Little kindnesses like these go a long way towards building a friendship.
