Baring all: Used with care, chemical strippers peel off old, unwanted paint

Article Abstract:

Chemical strippers, which are formulations that dissolve the chemical bonds in a coating can be used for scrapping or peeling off the old, unwanted paint. While buying the chemical stripper, it is important to select the right kind of chemical stripper and factors like the amount and kind of material being stripped, the type of surface the stripper is applied to, the time the chemical stripper requires for taking effect and the gear required to use it safely should also be considered.

Take that job and stick it: Bonding with construction adhesives

Article Abstract:

Construction adhesives, which are based on the phenomenon called adsorption, provide stronger bonding than that offered by nails alone and are less messy and easier to apply. They can be used for sticking together every building material and can work in combination with nails and screws for preventing popping of the dry walls, sticking foamboards, roofs or mirrors.
