After tiling a countertop, you should let the mortar dry according to the manufacturer's instructions. While it may be only a few hours, waiting overnight ensures that everything is well set when you get back to work. Remove the vinyl tile spacers. Then, use a rubber float to press grout into the grout lines. Work smoothly and methodically, using a rubber float to spread the grout and wipe up any excess. Remove excess grout by holding the rubber float at a 45-degree angle and dragging it across the tiles in a diagonal direction. Once the grout is evenly distributed in the joints, clean the grout off the tile faces using a damp sponge. This should wipe off any residue or grit that got on the tiles while installing. Only swipe over the surface of the tiles -- do not dig into the grout lines. To protect your tiles for years, you'll want to apply a finishing solution to the grout. Find a grout and tile sealer that works for you at your local hardware store and apply according to the directions on the bottle.

Summary: Allow the mortar to set overnight. Grout the tile countertop using the grout of your choice. Clean the tiles with a damp sponge when finished. Allow the grout to dry before adding a finish to the counter.

Infants with cradle cap often have other symptoms related to dry, easily-irritated skin. Use a humidifier in your baby's room to keep the air moist and humid so his or her skin doesn't get too dry. Applying a moisturizer while the scalp is still slightly damp and warm after bathing can help trap moisture in the skin, preventing it from becoming dry and scaly. Use a lotion or ointment formulated for babies' sensitive skin. Cradle cap is in some cases caused by an allergy to baby formula. If your baby has red patches on his or her face and experiences diarrhea and other allergy symptoms in addition to cradle cap, talk to your doctor about switching to a formula that is healthier for your baby.

Summary: Humidify your home. Moisturize the baby's scalp after bathing. Consider the baby's diet.

Do not use photo paper as it is too thick; the coating may also interfere with the Mod Podge. This will take at least 10 minutes. If you move onto the next step too soon, the ink may run and bleed. Do this with a paper slicer or a metal ruler and a craft blade. If you need to, trace your item onto the photo first, then cut the photo out. If you get inkjet paper wet, the ink will run. The clear, acrylic sealer will prevent this from happening. Spray both sides of the paper with 2 to 3 coats of clear, acrylic sealer. Let each coat/side dry completely before doing the next one. This step is time consuming, but the results are worth it. The finish (matte, glossy, or satin) does not matter because you will be Mod Podging over it. Paint the Mod Podge onto the front of the photo first, then let it dry. Flip the photo over, paint the back, then let it dry as well. You can do this with a wide paintbrush or a foam brush. You can do this with a wide, flat paintbrush or a foam brush. If you want to, you can apply the Mod Podge to the back of the photo as well. If you are going to Mod Podge photos onto multiple sides, start with just one side for now. Use a rubber roller or a brayer to smooth the photo down. Start from the middle of the photo and work your way outwards. Make sure that there are no bubbles or wrinkles. Keep this coat of Mod Podge light and thin. Be sure to extend the Mod Podge past the edges of the photo; this will help seal it in. Let the project dry for about 30 minutes first, then apply another coat of Mod Podge. If you want to, you can apply a third coat, but let the second one dry first. This can take a few hours to several days, depending on the type you used. Check the label on your bottle to be certain. Once the Mod Podge is dry, you can display your project, or apply photo to the other sides (if you are Mod Podging a box or block).

Summary: Print the photo onto regular paper. Allow the ink to dry completely. Trim the photo down as desired. Coat both sides of the paper with clear, acrylic sealer. Apply a thin coat of Mod Podge to both sides of the paper. Apply some Mod Podge to the item. Press the photo face-up onto the object. Apply another coat of Mod Podge on top. Let the project dry before applying another coat of Mod Podge. Allow the Mod Podge to dry completely.

When you get your new hamster, you'll need to provide it with a comfortable place to live. This means you need to set up a suitable cage for your hamster. You should put down some absorbent bedding to make your hamster feel comfortable. This also allows your hamster to go to the restroom in its cage. You'll need to spot clean the bedding daily and replace the entire thing once a week or so. Be sure to also put a water bottle for your hamster to drink out of in the cage. Hamsters are omnivores, which means they subsist on animal-based food as well as plant-based food. The most common thing to feed hamsters is dried hamster food pellets, but it is a good idea to supplement your hamster's diet with small pieces of raw fruits and vegetables as a treat a couple times per week. Typically, hamsters should eat about 10 grams of dry hamster food twice each day. For a treat, consider giving them small bits of broccoli, peaches, cauliflower, or bananas. Do not give your hamster anything citrus (like lemons or oranges) or acidic (like onions) because it could cause your hamster to get an upset stomach. During the first few days after you get your hamster, be careful not to push yourself on it too quickly. This is especially important during feeding time. Just put the food in the cage and then leave the hamster alone to eat in peace. This will help your hamster feel safe around you. You need to give your hamster some time to get used to you and to feel safe and settled in its new home. Don't try to force any contact with your hamster for the first week or so. Sometimes this process can take a bit longer. It's important for you to be patient in the beginning.
Summary: Give your hamster a nice home. Feed the hamster regularly. Wait a week before trying to touch it.
