Would You Want This in Your Home, Office, or School?
I think I’m a relatively calm, even-keeled person (considering I was born in the Bronx). I don’t get upset or flustered very easily. OK, once I flung my sand wedge into a water hazard, but who could blame me? That club didn’t hit a single green in two years! Even fruit isn’t safe from sticker scourge However, despite my ordinarily cool demeanor, there’s one thing that absolutely drives me mad: stickers. It seems that every single thing I buy nowadays—tools, books, furniture, frying pans, appliances, clothing, you name it—has some sort of decal, label, logo or UPC tag stuck to it. Heck, you can’t even eat an apple anymore without first having to scrape off its sticky insignia. Even more maddening is that the sticker usually has a picture of an apple on it. (Hey, Mr. Apple Company, we get it, it’s an apple!) I bought a new gas grill last year that had stickers plastered to nearly every surface, including one on its stainless steel hood that was only slightly smaller than my car’s windshield. And, of course, it was impossible to peel off the stickers in one piece. They came off in tiny bits and pieces, leaving behind a big mess. Apparently sticker manufacturers are using the same adhesive employed by NASA to secure heat-shield tiles to the nose of the Space Shuttle. Well, unless my gas grill had to re-enter the atmosphere on its way from the Weber factory to my local Home Depot, there’s no reason why these stickers couldn’t be coated with a low-strength, peel-off adhesive. Heat helps peel away stubborn stickers Anyway (exhale), even though I haven’t solved all of my sticker issues, I did experience a small breakthrough recently when I discovered a quick, neat way to remove the most tenacious stickers and labels. And all you need is a little heat. Take an electric heat gun, set it to “low,” and use it to warm up the sticker. Within just a few seconds, the heat will soften the adhesive and you’ll be able to peel off the sticker. (If you don’t own a heat gun, try using a blow dryer.) For stickers larger than, say a legal-size envelope, it’s best to direct the heat at one corner of the sticker, and then peel it away just a bit, being careful not to tear the sticker. Then, aim the heat gun behind the peeled-up corner, wait a few seconds, then gently tug on the sticker using pliers, if necessary, to protect your hands from the hot air. Continue to simultaneously apply heat and pull on the sticker until it peels off in one piece. If there’s any sticky residue left behind, remove it with a white cloth dampened with mineral spirits or acetone. Now this technique works great on all metal and wood surfaces, and even some hard plastics. But be careful because the intense heat can melt plastic and blister wood finishes.

In a new series of video we discuss and will show methods of gardening “when it counts.” The first 3 short videos detail some of the pitfalls and perils to the common survival/preparedness thinking of “when my storage food runs out I’ll just grow a garden .” Intermixed throughout the first three videos are also invaluable tips on gardening and food production for the homestead, survival retreat or backyard in suburbia. The first step in planning to truly grow your own food is to recognize the factors working AGAINST you, so you can plan accordingly.
