Iron keeps spitting sand-like grit, what's wrong?
I've got a Tefal Aquaslide 160 and it's worked fine (the few times we've used it), but now it keeps spitting out sand-like grit with the steam. The grit doesn't stain and wipes off easy but is making ironing very difficult, and I'm sure it's abrasiveness is scratching garments too. Any idea if the iron is at the end of its tethers or if this can be fixed, cleaned or something else? Thanks!
3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoVigorous arm flapping – does it go away by itself?
I know arm flapping is a complex motor tic often associated with Tourettes or Fragile X. Do you know of any other condition associated with arm flapping, or do you know someone who used to do it all the time and could not help it, but they now don't flap anymore? How did they get it to stop?
2 AnswersOther - General Health Care1 decade agoWe were told we can paint over window putty when it's still a bit soft. Will it ever harden underneath?
We have a new back door with glass elements, which of course have putty on the outside. When the door was installed, the putty was still a bit soft, but the guy told us we can paint over it with enamel paint, no problem. Which we did. But now, many weeks on, the putty still feels soft underneath when we press the painted surface.
I wonder if it will ever dry? Do we have to start poking holes in the paint for the dampness to escape and to let it dry, or worse, do we have to strip the whole paint from the top and let it dry first and then paint again? Or should we just not worry about it? Any info welcome.
Cheers!
