A paper towel is too restrictive. Try using an old pantyhose or stocking. If you can't find any you can buy the cheapest one at a drug store or something. Just tell the person at the checkout it's for your wife, smile, stare at the ceiling and look uncomfortable.
You know if I do it will be like the movies, We Need a Price Check on Women's Panty Hose for a gentleman at register 2
Actually, if there is a big shoe store near you, they often have disposable freebie nylon "socks" for the ladies. Often with elastic at the top. They go as high as the shoe. They are meant to be used and then thrown away. Grab a few to take home.
A female family member had some very cheap ones, and they work great. Way better then the paper towel. Embarrassment avoided, for now The handheld vacuum is already getting a lot of household use I'll need to test it with some static grass soon. Already used it on material falling off the trees I bought. Works great!
Agreed that the nylons are much better than the paper towels. If you are worried about being embarrassed by or trying to avoid it while purchasing them, you are going about it all wrong. You need to own it and instead, make comments that make the sales clerk uncomfortable or embarrassed. It's so much more fun that way . The looks you get when you make the comments like it's the closest to my size I could find or I hope these don't run as bad as my last pair are priceless. Yes, I know and yes, I'm that bad
Better yet. Tell the cashier you bought the brand you did because they go on easier once you shave your legs !!!
Been a long time since the second module came out of storage Why the Amtrak P42 pulling box cars. Cause the track work is not the best at the moment Still fun though. Might have to bust open the Amtrak cars? Basically just playing around.
So what material can I use for fascia that is not heavy? It's just a 2' x4' base, and I have tried balsa wood, but too thin. And something easy to form into some shapes. I don't need the usual heavy stuff people use, just something not very high to keep things from falling OFF layout. I have thought about using Styrene, maybe?
Styrene gets expensive fast. Plus you can't get 4 foot lengths (or can you?). Try masonite as Numbers mentioned.
Actually sheet styrene in big sheets can be reasonably priced. here's a sheet of 0.010 thick 4ft by 8ft for about 20 bucks. Pretty sure this would ship rolled up in a shipping tube or box but would probably work. You can also check with a local sign shop who may have some on hand for close to that kind of price. https://www.amazon.com/White-Polystyrene-Plastic-Sheet-Styrene/dp/B00SHMSLX6
Formica or Wilsonart countertop laminate. You might check with a custom cabinet shop to see if they have any off-cuts that will work for you. Perhaps let them know what you're looking for, and maybe they'll set something aside for you, rather than throw it in the trash. It scores and snaps apart fairly easily. Or Masonite hardboard (like pegboard, but w/o holes.) But if you don't have a power saw w/sharp blade, it gets "fuzzy" on a hand-sawn edge. You can also get thin PVC trim boards for exterior millwork (trim, etc.), but that might get a little more expensive. Perhaps a baseboard molding (wood, composite or vinyl)? Head to Lowes or Home Depot and see what's on sale!
My 9 3/4 inch inside radius no longer has power since I add the long outside loop. Shouldn't it work? I know I will need to add feeders at some point. Or is it another issue? RED arrows are where the ONE feeder is. I thought it worked in the past for testing? I am going to disconnect the OUTER loop and see what happens. I used to have the outer 11" and inner 9 3/4 loop and it worked fine, both of them.
