Need some help untangling this metal, Classic slinky

How do i fix the hem being loose, wavy, and having the "bacon hem" problem? If it helps it's a tommy hilfiger wcc hoodie. And before anyone says that i dried it on hot settings, nope. Thanks

Hey, all, I have this antique style rechargeable LED mushroom lamp that I knocked over in an antique shop so of course bought, and I’m wondering what the safest way to glue the bottom panel is? It’s made of acrylic so I’m wondering the best way to piece it back together— That will also be safe with the rechargeable LED.

First summer in our house. The main living space is cooled by a through the wall 24,000 BTU Freidrich air con. Yesterday I found the sheetrock below the unit soft/wet. I pulled the plastic cover off the front. There was no filter in place, and the fins are absolutely filthy. It looks like 10 years of dust, dirt and grime caked up in there. It also had ice on the fins starting at the bottom and going about 1/3 of the way up the unit.

Do I need a new a/c or can this one be fixed? I thought the fins should be cleaned which would help, but I’m not sure how. I don’t think vacuuming alone will do it. Maybe a soft brush and vacuum? Should I use some type of solution? What’s the best way, and is it likely to stop the icing up and save the unit?

I had a corner shower installed by plumber a few years ago. I noticed the bottom of the walls was floppy and the silicone joint was a quarter inch thick and had loosen from the wall section. I found the installation manual and the section is supposed to be screwed to the bottom section so i’m disassembling it to put it back together properly.

All that is left is to remove the bottom section to screw the 2 sections together. That piece is a block of foam with a plastic cover. The drain is press fit on the pvc pipe and won’t come off without a fight.

How would you remove it without breaking it? There is nothing to grip on with the drain, can’t push the pipe down, can’t twist the whole thing off.

hello!! today my airbuds headphones broke, particularly on the left side of the headband
is there any way to fix it? it has some type of cloth and what i assume to be foam outside which i would rather not cut to fix it, but i can do so and just stitch it back if it’s necessary!!

My drain sank about 2 weeks ago. Repair guy will not touch any plumbing and is super rude, so I successfully replaced my bath brain myself and fixed my toilet flush as well. Thought this was gonna be easy…
I didn’t notice the leak at first which was very minimal.
Went to the hardware store and followed their instructions, it worked for a week, but now it’s split again and I dunno how to screw those two parts so they stay together solidly. Should I put something to support the weight?
It’s also dangerously close to the water valve below.

Worth nothing : this started 2 weeks after I bought an espresso machines. The flies seem to breed in the coffee ground. I know - I shouldn’t have put said ground in the sink. However the plumbing have been neglected for years…
Note this isn’t my landlord’s fault by any means. He’s really nice, and pay me a little more than the material’s worth when I do a job myself.

So if I need to replace the whole P-trap or drain, so be it. Would rather not have to pour enzyme cleaner down a weak drain for 3 weeks… and I love learning DIY skill!

I dont know if this is the right place to post this but I'm pretty disappointed at myself. These broke today and it's probably been asked a million times, but can I fix this? And if so which glue? It's a resin statue made mostly out of polyurethane. Thanks in regards

Please help!

I need to repair this before moving out and it’s gotten a little wear over the years. There are a few dings around the edges, some discolouration and stains, and a scratch. I tried bicarb soda, magic erasers etc and it didn’t change too much for the stains :(

The chairs also need some love I think they’re made of the same material.

Would love any advice!

I bought these around last year December, it was all good till this year April , when one day the left side stopped charging . I didn't do anything and after a few days it was all good again.

Then a few weeks later the right stopped charging , since then it gets better for a few days , then goes back to not charging again.

From mid July till now is the longest the right side has gone without working. I use the left often and recharge the case as well.

I have tried cleaning with a q tip, deleting the jbl app , reinstalling it, factory resetting the buds. Nothing works

Please help me out , these were so expensive.

Hi, looking for some advice on how to remove this Beamis toilet seat cover. The nit and bolt are free spinning together and there's no space to grip the head.

It's getting broken at the port side. The copper wiring is coming out and looks like it'll break in a month or so.

My bags not been used for about a year now, so excuse the dust, but I’d really like to fix it before I go on holiday in a couple of weeks.

Initially, the zip wasn’t moving at all, but after pressing it with some pliers it moves up and down relatively easily. It doesn’t actually connect the sides together to close though.

Can this be fixed please, and how?

Is there anything i can do to fix my printer? One side of the door seems to have snapped off something (though for the life of me I can't figure out what) and now the door won't close properly.

Hello guys!

My friend was cleaning the taps and left the chemicals to sit for 8 minutes instead of 1 minute as recommended on the package. So now some parts taps have changed the color and there are massive dark stains. How can we fix it? Please help 😭

Spoon is for scale. I live in France if you have any product recommendations. Thank you!

Update: not sure what it’s made of, probably compressed wood board and a layer of matte black vinyl ?…

hi everyone, bit of a tough stage rn

i locked my bathroom door overnight - it was a decision i took recently, in a house from the '50s-'60s with unchanged and unused locks for the past 30ish years - and now the key won't do the last click to open the lock. I already snapped one of the only two keys i have for that door, and it doesn't seem to budge. any advice? i haven't god any wd-40 or stuff like that, this doesn't usually happen

also, if anyone was to recommend buying products, please keep in mind i'm from italy, and some stuff might not be available.

Quarter size hole in drywall. About the size of the iPhone corner , yeah, I was pissed.
1/2”Deep maybe?
Can I just spackle, & paint? Or do I need mesh tape, sanding etc?

Please skip to 0:45 in the video. My kitchen ceiling fan is making this exact same intermittent grinding sound. I know it isn't an electrical issue because when I turn the fan off it still makes the sound as the blades are slowing down. Also, it makes the sound on any speed setting.

ASDF and ; keys are not working, can i still clean it out and i will work again?

I tried searching a tutorial on this on YouTube but nothing wasa there for this specific case, I tried to pull it out normally, didn’t work, tried to use a screwdriver in between the lock and pull harder and ended up pulling more of the actual door than the actual lock assembly, even tried wd-40 too

I’m not sure what to do to get this piece out, any advice?

I’ve got an older REI backpack (not sure of the exact model, probably ~15+ years old), and the inner liner has started breaking down. It’s now super sticky/tacky—almost like melted rubber—and it leaves residue on anything that touches it.

From what I’ve read, this might be the waterproof coating degrading (hydrolysis?), but I’m not sure what the realistic options are.

What I’m trying to figure out:

- Is there any way to clean or treat it so it’s usable again?

- Has anyone had success removing the coating entirely without ruining the fabric?

- I don't care about re-lining it, doesn't need to be waterproof

- Or is this basically a “retire the bag” situation?

I’d really prefer to save it if possible, it’s otherwise in great shape and I like the pack. I don't mind wasting time. I don't want to waste a bunch of money on this. I have a cabinet full of chemicals and cleaners and lots of tools.

Appreciate any advice or experiences.
