Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place your heat-shrink bag over your items and pallet. Heat the shrink-wrap. Inspect your work.

Answer: If you do not have heat-shrink bags and are using manually applied film, use the steps in the guide "Preparing to Shrink-Wrap Using Manually Applied Film" below. Make sure that the bag is snug over the pallet and items. It does not need to be tight, but it shouldn't be too loose. Tuck the excess plastic at the bottom of the bag around the corners and edges of the pallet. Starting at the base, use your heat or shrink gun (or hairdryer, though it will be less secure and look less professional) to heat the plastic and cause it to shrink to the pallet and its items. As each heat or shrink gun will have different operating and safety guidelines, be sure to follow their included instructions. A video guide including this step is attached at the bottom of this guide. After the base is secure, use your heating implement to secure the top of the bag to the items. Once the base and top are secure, use a slow back-and-forth sweeping motion to seal each side of your pallet. Each heating implement is different! Be sure to follow your separate instructions when it comes to operation, especially instructions which pertain to safety, how far to hold the shrink gun from the pallet, and how long to apply heat for. Being sure to first safely turn off and store your heating implement, you are now ready to inspect your work. A properly shrink-wrapped pallet should feel like a single unit, with no wobbling or instability of its contents. Congratulations! You have successfully shrink-wrapped a pallet.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply a caulk remover. Slice the caulk with a blade. Pull away the caulk. Chip away remaining caulk. Clean the area. Let the area dry.

Answer: Caulk removers are special chemical products designed to moisten and soften the caulk, making it easier to remove so that you do not need to chip and chisel it away. Use a clean blade on a utility knife to slice down the center of the softened caulk. Most of the caulk should be freed. You might be able to pull it away by hand, but since gutter caulk can be thick, you may need to grip onto it using needle-nose pliers. Either way, most of the old caulk should come up. Use small chisel or the hook end of a painter's five-in-one tool to rake away any leftover chunks until the area is completely clean. Scrub it with a toothbrush or abrasive sponge dipped into a non-ammonia cleaner. Follow by scrubbing the area with a solution made with 1/3 cup (80 ml) bleach and 1 gallon (4 liters) of water. Cleaning the area will remove any fungi or decayed leaves that may have worked their way into the cracking caulk. Before applying new caulk, the area should be completely dry. Allowing the area to air dry is best, but if rain, other precipitation, or humidity threatens to create a problem, dry it out by hand using a clean, dry towel.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase over-the-counter medicated shampoos. Try medicated lotions. Read instructions carefully before use.

Answer: Lice may not respond to home treatments. You might need to try medicated shampoos if your lice infestation does not respond to home remedies. You may be able to find medicated shampoo at the local supermarket or drug store. It will usually be labeled as lice-killing shampoo. Some shampoo requires a doctor's prescription, but it might be difficult to see a doctor without your parents finding out about your lice. You can try biking to a local drug store, telling your parents you're going for a bike ride. Use your allowance to purchase the shampoo. To hide the shampoo, consider putting it in an empty container of your regular shampoo. If shampoo does not work, there are also medicated lotions you apply to your hair after showering that might kill the lice. Purchase this at a local drug store and find a way to hide it in your bathroom. If you normally use lotion or moisturizer, empty out a full bottle and replace it with the medicated lotion. Over-the-counter products will not work if you do not follow the instructions. Make sure you read the instructions carefully and apply the shampoo or lotion exactly as instructed. Pay attention to any warnings. Some products should not be used if you have particular health conditions or are below a certain age. You do not want to use any product that could be harmful to you.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get the right shoes. Buy comfortable, appropriate clothes. Consider some entertainment.

Answer:
Choose the best shoes for where you'll run. Road shoes for the road, trail shoes for rougher terrain: this will keep your feet protected and help with traction. Account for your arches. You'll need more or less support, depending on how high of an arch you have. The shape of the shoe itself will also need to change. Go to your local major shoe store to get help with this. Check your heel movement. Some people roll their heels, either out or in, as they run. This will also affect the type of shoe you need. Check some old shoes for wear to get an idea of how you move. Tie your shoes correctly. Did you know you can lace your shoes differently to make them fit better? There are methods to create more space in the toes, or support high arches. Even ways to keep heels in place if they tend to slip! Get the right size! Correct fit is key in making sure your shoes are as comfortable as possible. Even if you think you know what size you are, be willing to be wrong because it can make a huge difference in how you feel afterwards. Shoot for good movement. You should be choosing clothes that are loose or flexible, so that they allow for a good range of movement. You'll also want clothes in shapes and materials that breathe well. This can help reduce rashes and other skin problems. Factor in weather and temperature. You'll probably need more than one jogging outfit (depending on where you live). Have clothes that are warmer and provide more coverage for if you go running in the winter, for example. Don't forget about pockets. You'll want pockets in order to carry important things like your ID and your keys. Alternatively, though, you can use other things like your shoes or an armband. You'll also want to wear the right kind of socks. Look for socks specifically marketed for runners. This can help prevent blisters. Get an mp3 player. Smaller players, like an iPod nano, are great for using while you're jogging. There are even several wristbands that they can be fit into. Find something to listen to. Music is the obvious choice, but you could even get something like a podcast or audio book too. This can be a great way to stay in touch with the news or fit in some "reading" if you're low on time. Enjoy the quiet if you prefer: you don't have to listen to anything if you don't want to! Stay safe! If you do choose to listen to something, try to only have one ear bud in. Hearing an approaching car or other sign of trouble is crucial to your safety.
