Q: Because the torch will get extremely hot, you'll need the extra length the pliers provide to keep your hand safely away from the heat. Keep a firm grip on the plug, but don't squeeze so hard that you risk damaging the spark plug. It only needs to sit in the pliers as a handle extension. If you have a bench vice, that will work in place of pliers. Turn the knob on your gas or propane torch to allow gas to flow, then either hit the ignition button or place an ignition source in front of the nozzle. The torch will then light up and begin burning. You may choose to wear gloves just to give your hands a bit more heat protection. Turn the torch all the way up so it is producing a blue flame. The torch will burn the carbon and debris off of the spark plug, and because the plug is designed to be inside the engine when it ignites, it will survive the heat without issue. Hold the plug in the flame, rotating it from side to side, until the end of the plug and the electrode are glowing red hot. Depending on how hot your torch is, this may take several minutes. Be extremely careful not to allow the flame from the torch to reach anything else in your work area. After the plug gets hot enough to burn away the carbon, it will need to cool for a few minutes before you can work with it. Be extremely careful; the spark plug will return to normal colors long before it is cool enough to touch. To be safe, give each plug at least 5 minutes to cool before attempting to reinstall it. Once the spark plug is cool, it will be clean enough to reinstall. Once the spark plug is cool enough to reinstall, put it back in, reconnect the spark plug wire, and move on to the next spark plug. Continue to repeat these steps for each plug until they are all clean. It is important that you clean each spark plug so that some cylinders don't burn more efficiently than others.
A: Grip the spark with pliers on the end the wire connects to. Put on gloves and ignite your torch. Hold the end of the spark plug in the flame until it turns red. Let the plug cool and do not touch it with your fingers. Repeat the process for each spark plug.

Q: Rubber-soles are more likely to pass electric charges through your body, from your feet all the way to your hair. To avoid this, opt for leather-soled shoes instead. This way, you'll avoid the small electric shock that comes along with static. Synthetic materials are much more likely to contract a charge, which then in turn produce lots of static. By choosing clothing made of fabrics such as cotton, silk, or wool, you'll be less likely to have static in your hair. For example, you could try sleeping with your hair tied in a silk scarf or using a silk pillowcase to protect your hair from static. Stay away from synthetic materials like polyester or nylon.
A: Trade rubber-soled shoes for leather-soled shoes. Change into clothes made with natural fabrics to reduce static charge.

Q: In a plastic or glass bowl, stir together baking soda and shampoo in a 1:1 ratio. To ensure you make enough to cover your dyed hair, measure out the amount of shampoo you would normally use in the shower and then add the same amount of baking soda. Anti-dandruff shampoo is said to work best because of its high pH, which fades hair dye. However, you can also use a clarifying shampoo instead. Using the paste in the shower will make it easier to apply without worrying about making a mess. Set the paste aside while you soak your hair with warm water. Scoop some paste into your hand and start working into the hair where the dye starts. Use your fingers to work the paste down toward the tips, adding in more paste as needed, until you've covered the entire dyed section of hair. You don't need to apply the paste to your natural hair, just the Kool-Aid sections. If your color starts at the roots, make sure to start working the paste in at the roots and work all the way down to the tips of your hair. If only your tips are dyed, start applying the paste an inch or two above the dyed section to make sure you don't miss any of the color. Unlike the hot water and baking soda method above, this method is safer to use on the scalp. Set a timer or have someone else set a timer for you so you don't accidentally leave the paste into for too long. Stay in the shower while you wait, and either turn off the water or keep your hair away from the water. Once the time is up, rinse the paste out in the shower. Use the hottest water you can tolerate to help draw out the color and keep rinsing until all of the paste has been washed out. This method is also drying, so remember to always deep-condition after rinsing out the paste. Work a deep conditioner through your strands, focusing on the tips. Let it soak in for 15-30 minutes, then rinse it out with warm water. Be sure to rinse your hair with cool water to seal the cuticles. After 1 round of this treatment, the Kool-Aid color should be significantly faded. However, it may take several repeat washes to completely remove the dye. Use the paste once a day for several days, deep-conditioning after each wash to replenish and re-hydrate your hair.
A:
Mix equal parts baking soda and shampoo together to form a paste. Take the paste into the shower and wet your hair. Work the paste into your wet hair until it lathers. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes. Rinse the paste out with hot water. Apply a deep-conditioning treatment to rehydrate your hair. Repeat the process once a day for up to 2-3 days.
