Q: Even though you scraped away excess mortar, there is almost certainly some leftover on the blocks. The washing process removes all of these imperfections, but not until the mortar has set. Give it 2-3 hours before you start washing. This set time only makes the mortar strong enough for scrubbing. The mortar won't reach it's full strength until it's set for several weeks. This job may take several hours, meaning that the first blocks you laid are dry enough for cleaning as soon as you complete installing the blocks. Dip a sponge in a bucket of plain, warm water and scrub any spots on the blocks that have mortar on them. Thin layers of mortar should come off easily with water and light scrubbing. Dip the sponge back into the bucket periodically to wash off excess mortar. Only use plain water at this point. The mortar is not dry enough to handle cleaning from solvents or other chemicals. This wipes up any moisture and removes any remaining mortar remnants. Work in a circular motion and cover both sides of the block surface. Once the job is complete, leave the mortar to dry. Don't do any additional cleaning or maintenance until the mortar has fully cured. Avoid doing any construction near the blocks, or the vibrations could knock them out of place. If the blocks are outside, cover them with plastic to prevent rain from getting on them. Different mortar may have different set times. Always check the instructions on the product you use for the specific dry time. After the mortar dries completely, start cleaning the glass blocks once a week. Make a solution of warm water and mild soap. Dip a fine cloth or sponge into the water and scrub the blocks in a circular motion. Then use a squeegee to wipe the water off. Remember to clean both sides of the installation.
A: Let the mortar set for 2-3 hours before washing the blocks. Scrub the blocks with a wet sponge. Run a dry cloth over the blocks after cleaning them. Let the mortar cure for 14-21 days. Maintain your glass blocks by cleaning them once a week.

Article: If you're looking to clear up acne fast, the most widely used and effective over-the-counter skin cream available is benzoyl peroxide. It can be purchased at most drug stores. This should be the first option you try for mild acne. Benzoyl peroxide works by killing bacteria that cause acne. It comes in cream form in a variety of strengths, from 2.5 to 10 percent. Start with a lower dose kind as stronger is not always better. Your skin might respond better to a 2.5 percent cream than a 10 percent one. It also reduces inflammation and helps keep your pores clean. Side effects can include red skin, dry skin, scaling, and burning. Severe side effects are rare, however, but you should be careful if you have sensitive skin. Be careful when using benzoyl peroxide. It can bleach clothing and skin. If benzoyl peroxide on its own does not work, add salicylic acid to the mix. Salicylic acid can also be purchased at most drug stores and often works great in conjunction with benzoyl peroxide. Salicylic acid mainly works by preventing pores from being clogged which stops acne breakouts from starting. If your breakouts usually start small and build from there, you might want to use salicylic acid right away to prevent the breakout spreading. Side effects can include mild stinging and skin irritation. As with benzoyl peroxide, it's best to start with a weaker prescription-strength product. Alpha hydroxy acids come in several types, most commonly glycolic acid and lactic acid, and can be purchased at most drug stores without a prescription. These are synthetic versions of acids normally drawn from fruits and work by removing dead skin cells and preventing inflammation of the skin. Alpha hydroxy acids can lessen the appearance of acne scars by stimulating the growth of new skin. If you popped or picked off a pimple, applying alpha hydroxy acids might lessen the appearance of the scar. Alpha hydroxy acids can also make pores look smaller, improving the overall appearance of the skin in addition to eliminating acne. Scrubs and over-the-counter acne products that contain sulfur help remove dead skin cells that clog pores and lead to acne. Sulfur also helps reduce the bacteria in the skin that cause acne. You can combine sulfur-based products with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. However, be careful as sulfur can cause dry skin and might produce an unpleasant odor.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Try benzoyl peroxide. Add salicylic acid to your skincare regimen. Consider alpha hydroxy acids. Use sulfur.

Q: Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart. Bend your knees and drop your butt to straighten out your back. In this stance, you'll be able to generate the maximum amount of power. Hold the bat somewhat loosely. The bat should be touching your hand where your fingers meet your palm. If you hold your bat too high in your fingers, you won't have as much control over it. If you bury the bat in your palm, your wrists won't be able to push the bat smoothly. If you tend to hold to the bat too tightly, try gripping the bat with only your middle, ring and pinky fingers. Your thumb and forefinger will naturally tighten when you make contact with the ball. Your dominant hand should be directly above your weak hand and the knuckles of both hands should be lined up. Your front elbow should be down so that the top of your bat is at a forty-five degree angle behind your head. If your front elbow is up, your bat will have to travel further to reach the strike zone slowing down your swing significantly. Make sure your bat isn't straight up and down or you won't be able to take a full swing. Your back elbow should be slightly higher than your front elbow. Try to get rid of all your tension. You may think that tensing up your body helps you concentrate, but in reality all it does is waste your energy and prevent you from having a smooth swing. Save your energy for your swing. The speed of your swing is dependent on how much torque you can generate. Your swing starts in your legs, moves up to your hips and finishes by travelling through your arms to the bat. To perform a smooth, quick swing, your entire body should work together. Torque is the power generated from your body's twisting motion. Imagine that you are swinging through the ball. Flip your wrists at the climax of your swing to complete it. You want to drive the ball outward. If you stop your swing midway, it won't be as powerful. Don't let your head follow your swing. Keep your eyes on the ball.
A:
Adopt an athletic stance. Grip the bat properly. Drop your elbow. Relax your shoulders. Engage your whole body. Follow through with your swing.
