Q:I make aluminium bracelets (not professionally) and recently my bracelet bending pliers brokeI'm waiting for a new pair but it's going to take a long time to ship here, and I have quite a few orders in right now, so I was wondering if there's a way to bend them into an acceptable shape without a bracelet bender?

Use a leather hammer and a piece of pipe or dowel smaller than the finished size you wantThe dowel will be round, not oval, but you can compensate by using two sizes of dowel, one for the ends (smaller) and a larger size for the body of the braceletHammer away, starting with bending the ends to the right curve over the smaller dowel, then hammer the rest of the metal strip over the larger dowel.

I would imagine that you could have too much fiberJust make sure that you are drinking a lot of water because fiber does not break down in your body, so you need the water to flush the fiber outYou will get constipated if you don't drink enough water with itFiber is very good for you though and keeps you fuller longer.

Q:And why do they do that?

I think that is for highlights and I'm not sure that without the heater you sit under, that it would even make a differenceIf you are lightening your hair I put a plastic bag around my head, it makes it heat up a bit and then it penetrates much betterI also do that with conditioning treatments!

Q:Is there something simple I can do? Please help

make sure it is air tight

Q:Should temp be around 220? Maybe lower? I cooked this thing PERFECTLY and I don't want to cook it anymore, just warm it upThanks

I always use wire wool and autosol ,works really well for me

Q:What are some ingredients to avoid in deodorant?

The advertising/ print should be on the outsideMost of the time both sides are foiledIf you have a paper faced fiberglass installation inbetween your studs you should not use foil faced foam board because you will have 2 vapor barriors and will trap mositure risking moldif you already have the foam board you can poke small holes in the foil

Q:I've started recycling aluminum cans (mostly soda and beer cans), but occasionally also have food cans (spaghetti-o's, slim fast drinks, canned tomatoes, etc), and was wondering if these are also aluminium.

it is aluminum that you can use to clean tarnish off silver.

Q:Hi, we have to make a device that must keep the heat, and the only materials that you are allowed to use is: wood, paper, cardboard, natural fibers, organic granular material, and aluminum foilThe device must work like an ozone layer and keep the heat insidea hot beaker is placed inside, and the device must keep the heat inside the deviceCan anybody list the materials in order, from the most heat keeping to the least heat keeping? Thank you very muchI appreciate it.

If you wanted an ozone layer, you'd need something like clear plastic filmThis would let visible light in, but keep infrared from passing through easilyIf you are just wanting to rate the materials in terms of thermal conductivityThe problem with your list is you don't say how thick each isUsually wood and cardboard are quite thick, and a long conduction path reduces heat transfervery roughly organic granular material (like unpacked flour), natural fibers, cardboard, wood, paper, aluminum foil (absolute worst, used in a thermos as a reflector in a vacuum bottle)Reflectors send heat away better and do not radiate heat well, but is very conductive of heatYou will get some contamination of your results, if everything is not heated to the same temperature as the beaker, as some of these materials also store heat (or cold) pretty wellHeat is transferred via: conduction direct physical contact convectiona fluid gets hot and carries away heat radiationmore light is sent from hot to cold than cold to hot, and light carries (is) energy.

Q:I've heard of a method involving aluminum foil and some other chemical, but can't remember this methodI just remember seeing it done, and the silver looking spotlessAll suggestions would be helpfulThank you Answerers.

Sarah: I can't answer your question, but I plead with you and your husband to not purchase a house with that wiring if you value your lifeIn my locale there have been so many homes that have burned down causing loss of life as a result of aluminum wiringUnless you COMPLETELY exchange all the wiring for copper wire, you will never FEEL SAFERely on historyIt is far greater to be SAFE NOW than to be SORRY LATERNO house is worth that RISK!
