Comment on How do the properties of plastic differ and for which processes or applications are they best suited? by biire2u

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) – Is a very clean and strong plastic . It is used almost exclusively for plastic beverage bottles because it doesn’t impart a plastic taste to the product, plus the plastic is dense enough and strong enought o resist high pressure carbonation without it leaking thru plastic molecules. It is also easy to recycle and is made into carpet fiber (polyester) and clothes because of the high quality of the plastic

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) – has higher strength than regular plastic, so is good for milk jugs, garbage bags , Plastic chairs and plastic water pipes etc.

Polystyrene Foam (PS) – This is the common stryofoam everyone knows. Here a polystyrene plastic , which is cheap and fairly rigid, is treated with a blowing agent that forms air bubbles into the melted polystryrene. The air bubbles incorporated in the plastic make it ideal for lightweight shipping packaging and it is very moldable around specialty items.
It also is used heavily in the insulation business to make insulation panels and doors for superior insulation in homes and commercial businesses. It is waterproof and bugs don’t eat it and it doesn’t rot.

Comment on What kind of bed frame is recommended for a memory foam mattress? by Doug

The boards can only break if it is a cheaply built foundation or the steel frame underneathe the foundation is lacking center support. Check out Flobeds they make some really heavy duty foundations.

Comment on How can I repair my caravan upholstery which mice have chewed several holes in? by arodbao

To be honest, it is better to replace with cheaper cushions because once mice chewed it, they left the smell. If you just repair it, naughty mice will still come back.

Catch the mice. Tan the hides. Sew them over the holes.

Comment on Gluing painted metal to foam rubber-like stuff? by Richard V

Richard V — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:46:59 +0000

I don’t know if your familiar with a glue called Kwick Grip by Shelley’s it will do the trick perfectly, it is the glue shoe repairers use for soles ( it’s yellow in colour applied on both surfaces wait till dryish and then attach)
Failing that you can purchase those sponge pads from you local hardware stores.
