Before you begin applying the finish, you'll need to sand down the wood surface first. To do so, you should get a sanding block and several pieces of 220-grit sanding paper. Gently sand down the surface of the wood to remove any rough or uneven spots. You should be able to find these products at any home improvement store. Pour just enough finish to thinly cover the bottom of a regular paint tray. You don't want to overfill the paint tray, as this could lead to sloppy, dripping messes. Be sure to keep a clean rag on hand to wipe up any drips or spills while you're pouring. You may have to keep refilling the paint tray as you go, depending on how big the staining project is. Take a short-bristled paint pad and place it in the paint pan. Let it soak up enough of the finish to be saturated, but not dripping excessively. Rub the paint pad back and forth across the surface to be stained in approximately 1ft (0.30m) to 2ft (0.61m) sections at a time, always going with the grain of the wood. If you are finishing a rather large surface (like a floor, for example), it might be a good idea to attach the paint pad to a t-bar to make the painting job easier. This will help you save time and energy while finishing the surface. If you have a smaller job that needs to be completed (like a wooden countertop, a chest of drawers, or a wooden box), you should use a natural bristle paint brush rather than a paint pad. This will help you control the finish on a smaller surface than you would be able to with a paint pad, preventing drips or other stains from occurring. Keep in mind that you should always apply the finish with the direction of the wood grain, regardless of what tool you use to apply the coat. It's important that you give each coat plenty of time to fully dry before starting on the next coat. Moving onto the next coat too quickly could cause air bubbles on the surface of the finish, or a sticky, filmy result. If your area has high humidity, cold temperatures, or is poorly ventilated, this may increase the time required for drying between coats.

Summary: Sand the surface with a sanding block and 220-grit sanding paper. Pour the finish into a paint tray. Soak a paint pad in the tray and rub it across the unfinished surface. Use a natural bristle paint brush for smaller jobs. Wait 24 hours between each coat.

Place it so the long piece goes up one side, over the top, and down the other side. Draw enough to the back to completely cover it. Leave just enough over the front to pull over the pipes, about 1 foot (0.30m) or so. Use clamps to hold the plastic in place while you're working on it if you have them. Make sure the bottom of the plastic is even with the bottom of your booth, then cut the plastic along the corner pole straight up from the bottom to the corner at the top. Tape the edge of the plastic around the corner pole with duct tape. If you're having trouble with tape sticking properly, place the tape over the plastic and pole. Then, poke a hole through the plastic and tape on the inner side of the pole. Run a zip tie through the hole around the pole, tape, and plastic. Secure the zip tie to help hold the plastic in place. Flatten the piece of plastic on the side and then cut up from the bottom to the corner at the top in a straight line. Tape the edge of the plastic to the pole in back, sealing off the edge by going all along it with tape. Do the same for the other back corner. You should have cut a large square out of the corner of the plastic on each side. Save these for the front. Pull the overhang in front taut, and tape it against itself and onto the poles in front. Hang the pieces of plastic you cut out of the back in front, taping them along the top and on the front corner poles. This should cover the whole front. Seal off the seams completely with tape. Leave the opening between the 2 sheets in the front, except seal it a little at the top and bottom. When you get in the booth to paint, close this seam tightly with clamps. If the plastic doesn't cover the front, you may need to get another sheet of plastic to cover the front. Position it so that the corners rest on each leg of the paint booth. Make sure it is flat by pushing out any creases or bubbles. Then lift each of the paint booth's legs up one at a time to push the drop cloth edges under each leg. If the cloth doesn't fit right or it doesn't line-up under the paint booth's legs, step back to inspect the legs. Each leg should be near-perpendicular to the ground. Adjust as needed. Tape it to the corners of the booth inside, as well as the drop cloth. Start on one side, attaching the plastic to the drop cloth with the duct tape, using strips to completely seal the seams. This will hold the plastic and drop cloth in place.

Summary: Lay a 10 by 25ft (3.0 by 7.6m) piece of plastic sheeting over the whole booth. Trim and tape the plastic along the back. Cut and tape down the plastic on the sides in the back. Tape the front of the plastic in place. Lay down a 4 by 15 feet (1.2 by 4.6m) drop cloth inside the booth. Secure the plastic sheeting on the inside.

Since H. pylori is a bacteria, it may be successfully treated with a short course of antibiotics lasting from 10 to 14 days. Follow your doctor's instructions for how to take the antibiotic and make sure to take the full course, even if you start to feel better. Your doctor may prescribe: Amoxicillin Tetracycline (for adults and children over 12 years old) Metronidazole Clarithromycin While you're taking antibiotics, your doctor will also recommend that you take acid-protectors. These will not cure the bacterial infection on their own, but they may keep your ulcer from getting worse. They will also give your stomach lining time to heal. Your stomach naturally produces acid to aid in digestion, but when you have an ulcer the acid can cause further damage. Most often, doctors will prescribe Bismuth subsalicylate, or Pepto Bismol. It coats the stomach to protect it from acid. It also helps kill the bacteria. The amount and frequency will vary based on which antibiotics you are taking. Your doctor will also prescribe a PPI. These medications prevent acid production by inhibiting the "pumps" in stomach cells that activate gastric acid secretion. In most cases, you'll receive a prescription for Lansoprazole. The amount and frequency of doses will depend on which antibiotics you are taking. Children may prescribed Omeprazole, 1 mg/kg divided twice daily (to a max of 20 mg twice daily) for 14 days.
Summary: Take a course of antibiotics, as prescribed. Take acid-protectors. Take proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).
