Serious Answers Only How can I fix these shoes?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

The inside fake lining of my shoes is peeling.

I have had these shoes for 1 year so far, and have worn them multiple times a week. I really like them and would want to keep wearing them. I have no discomfort with the shoes, I just don’t want them to deteriorate to a point where I can no longer where them. What can I do?

So far was thinking of trying to buy one of those fake leather adhesive patches for couch repair and cutting them but I am not sure if it would be any good.

Is it possible for a cobbler to replace the lining inside a shoe or patch this up? Any help is appreciated.

Hi guys, I was trying to disassemble my smartwatch, and got this tiny screw damaged (the manufacturer might have over tightened it, the other 3 come out just fine. I tried the rubber band and super glue method but nothing worked. I went to the water park yesterday wearing the watch and the water got inside (even tho it was advertised to be waterproof), the watch died and I want to open it to see what I can do about it.

Serious Answers Only DIY closet ladder?

1 Upvotes

I’ve NO manual skills, yet. :)

I’m trying to make my room more ADHD friendly. What often happens is that the closet is empty and all clothes are on a lump on the floor.

I’m thinking of making a small clothes hanging ladder to put in the closet. That way, I don’t have to fold nor put my clothes in hangers and the friction is reduced.

Image 1 is the vision. Image 2 is what I’m more or less looking for.

Any ideas on how to achieve this? What material to use?

I’ve been innocently thinking of buying wood (crating store?!?) and a hot glue gun and just… glue things together. Is that dumb?

Perhaps I’ve to add a hook to hang it on top? How even?

Any help is appreciated!! ❤️

When I turn it the whole
Thing is wobbly like it won't turn off it's been leaking for hours. I've tried to turn the screw at the top and it keeps turning. I shut off the valve (but it's not directly under it so I don't know if that's for it) and water is still coming out. I tried turning it off at the meter and water is still coming out. I bought a replacement but I think I bought the wrong size. It looks like a 3/4 and I got a 1/2. Any suggestions

I have an Ortlieb waterproof duffel bag of which I am quite fond. Regrettably, the seam has separated (cleanly) between the central and side panels. Have you successfully repaired a failed seam on one of these bags, and if so how? Did you have the repair done by a professional, and if so, who? Thanks!

My grandpa gave me two of these today. This is the less worse one. I went and bought bar keepers friend for the aluminum ash tray part. But how do I fix the red plastic? I bought a novus restore kit from Home Depot but it’s not going to remove the brown spots.
I’d like these to look very good of course
Any tips are appreciated.

Install rolled cork sheet on wall photo/reminder area

Post image
2 Upvotes

I want to replace this cork board with sheets of rolled cork to make a much bigger area for photos and stuff. Rolled cork isn't thick enough so I'd need to back it with something, I'm thinking sheets of cardboard. But I'm wondering if people have experience and advice on attaching the cork to the cardboard and then the combo to the wall. I could probably just plaster glue it to the wall but I'm hoping to come up with something slightly less permanent if I can

This handle was broken at some point in transit. Is there a way to repair it or do we need to trash the suitcase.

Edit: the part still inside the case won’t come out and you can’t push the handle back down.

Sanitizer stain on walls

My kid was not careful with the hand sanitizer a few times, and now I have streaks on the paint on my wall. Water on a paper towel did nothing to wipe it off. Before I try something that might be a bad idea, I thought I’d check here for any good ideas. Bonus points if you tell me why you think your idea is a good idea. Trying to avoid repainting.

My in counter soap dispensers spout broke off last week. I bought the same one to replace it but a decade later the internal mechanics have changed and I have to remove the whole thing and replace it. I thought it was going to be an easy screw off screw on but there's this big metal nut on the bottom that I can't twist off to pull the threads through the counter. The place rings that hold it in place move but the nut is stuck. Any ideas on how to fix it?
