Alright today on Repairs101 I�m going to go over a list of shop supplies that I depend
on all the time and that you�re going to want to have handy in your home or shop.
OK the first solvent I�ll mention is Acetone. It�s good for cleaning up just about any
kind of paint and many plastics and polyester resin. It even makes a good degreaser and
clean up for solder flux. Now besides the obvious use of thinning paint
I use Paint Thinner to remove the gummy residue left behind by the labels from bottles and
jars and as a smoothing agent for caulking. Brake Clean is a really strong solvent used
for greasy dirty brake components and can be used to remove grease stains from carpet
or upholstery just by applying it to a rag and lifting off the stain.
I find Carpenters Glue handy for all kinds of fixes to all kinds of furniture and for
making wooden boxes and repairs to other household items.
I use J-B WELD and J-B KWIK for wood, plastic and metal repairs and just about anywhere
� at home, at work, auto� marine � it bonds great, it�s remarkably strong and
it�s sandable and therefore shapeable. Mineral Oil is non-toxic, cheap and available
at almost any pharmacy. It�s perfect for kitchen utensils because it doesn�t go rancid
and it can be used to revitalize furniture, tools, art or whatever else you have made
of uncoated wood. WD-40 is a terrific penetrating oil that I
also use for corrosion and rust treatment and prevention.
Now as far as lubricant goes � here�s a small bottle that lasts a long time. Only
a tiny drop of TENACIOUS OIL is required to lubricate almost anything including bicycle
chains. NEVER-SEEZ is designed to protect fasteners
from corrosion and rust � but it can also be used around the house to lubricate things
like hinges and locks. NEVR-DULL is a super-fine polishing compound
that can remove rust � a form of slow oxidization. It also easily supports a form of rapid oxidization.
