How do I repair a 2 inch hole in the center of my carpet?
Q. The carpet is not wall to wall. I have extra piece of the same carpet to use for the repair. I still have the carpet backing in place so I have tried to glue another small piece of carpet on top of the backing in it's place but it doesn't stay. When I vacuum the carpet fibers get sucked up a little at a time. Can anyone advise me of the proper way to repair this problem?

A. need to use a stronger glue and leave it for longer. you could also put a table or chair in such a way as you will not go over the repaired section.

How should I repair paint cracks between the moldings and my cieling before I paint?
Q. I am painting my room and there are moldings that have visible cracks between them and the cieling. I would like to repair the cracks because I believe that just painting over them will not solve the problem and it will continue to crack. How should I repair these cracks in the paint, where the moldings and cieling meet?

A. Are you sure that the paint is cracking? It sounds like it could be caulking between the wall and molding. If that is the case you can just re-caulk.

How do you repair a ripple crocheted blanket?
Q. My mother crochted my newphew a blanket for graduation a few years ago. It has come apart. He wants me to repair it but I really don't know how to start unless I undo the big section that is damaged and start anew and attach the other section back to it when i get it repaired. Please help me.
Asked by Reutebuch - Sat Nov 24 23:54:09 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It depends on how much as come undone. The pp gave a great suggestion. If the damage isn't too bad you can use a matching or complementary yarn to sew the damaged parts. With a little trial and error you can often make stitches that will match the crochet stitch and if it's not a large area you won't be able to tell. If it's a large section the best thing to do is probably to rip out the damaged rows and do them over. Not the fastest fix, but it will be the most durable fix. If you're busy now ask him to give you the blanket and tell him you'll work on it after the holiday season has passed.

Does a car repair shop have to get authorization to perform additional repairs in CO?
Q. I took my 17 year old car to get repair work done and the final bill was $286.10 more than the estimate. This was about a 25% jump. Of course you are always going to find something else to fix on a car that old. Most shops I take it to get authorization B4 performaing additional tasks. If this happens to be a law in Colorado, will you please point me in the direction to find in the law books.

A. Here's an example of the law in Montgomery County, Maryland: "17. Does an auto repair shop have to give me a written estimate? What happens if the final bill exceeds the estimate? Under County law, you are entitled to a written estimate if you ask for one and the repairs will cost more than $25. The repair shop must have a sign posted that advises you of this right. The shop is allowed to charge you for the time spent preparing a written estimate. The final repair bill may not exceed a written or oral estimate by more than 10% without your prior authorization. However, oral estimates are often hard to prove. "

How do I repair the 4wd shift linkage on my 1997 Chevy Blazer?

I assume that you have a 4 wheel indicator light on the dash somewhere. put your vehicle in neutral, Crawl under the blazer, the big hunk of metal between the transmission and the drive shaft is your transfer case. It should have two linkages on it. With just your hand, You should be able to unlock it out of 4-wheel drive, By turning both linkages straight up and down. That should put your transfer case in 2hi.

How can I repair my caravan upholstery which mice have chewed several holes in?

Just ask for TSP. Then, get the loose plaster off. If you can take it off with your fingernails, it is gonna fall off. Use 1/2" thick drywall board. for the large hole over the fireplace take the plaster off to the 2x4 studs as you have to screw the drywall onto the studs. Also if it is an outside wall, insulate before the drywall goes on.

A. Call your insurance company and tell them you would rather take it to a dealership so you will get factory parts because you are still under warrenty. Or read your warrenty to see what is covered. Body components aren't usually covered because they don't affect anything mechanical. Also, OEM parts that a repair place would use will usually have some sort of warrenty. Do some homework. Nobody on here can tell you these things without doing your footwork for you.

A. From your description it sounds like you cracked it. To test for leaking you'll want to dye the water with either some blue food coloring or an actual dye tablet. I don't suggest trying to repair a cracked tank. Body weight and temperature variances may cause it to grow or expand over time. And you don't want to be away from home with a leaking tank. Your best bet is to replace it.

A. you could try placing the part back up with no nails glue around the edges and on the back then polyfill around the edge and paint it in to match ,but it will be hard to match,or you could nail the piece back into the joist and using a punch drive the nails into just above the surface then fill over the nail heads with filler then paint over.

A. you could try placing the part back up with no nails glue around the edges and on the back then polyfill around the edge and paint it in to match ,but it will be hard to match,or you could nail the piece back into the joist and using a punch drive the nails into just above the surface then fill over the nail heads with filler then paint over.

How to repair screen door retractor after there is no longer enough wood to hold the screws in place?
Q. This is an old home (100 yrs) and the wood screws that hold the screen door retractor (what's the correct name for that?) in place are no longer functioning because too much wood has fallen out where they are affixed. How can I repair this? My wife suggested epoxy. Comments? I've considered larger screws but I'm not sure if this is possible since there is not a lot of material remaining on the flange. Ideas?

A. Use a wood golf tee. the hard wood and shape makes them excellent to use for this. get long ones 3" or so. Drive them into the hole then break them off. They hold great. I work Maintenance and always carry some tees in my bag just for that application.

How to repair a leaking Coleman cooler and water dispenser?
Q. I've got this Coleman cooler n water dispenser which has been leaking by a very little amount... i still couldn't see the crack, but it's leaking... I'd prefer to buy a new one, but some of my friends advised to jus keep it anyway...cuz it can still hold water although leaking a bit.. So i wanna ask on how to repair it... If I have found the crack, does anyone know how to seal it safely and strongly, yet will not poison the drink that I will put in the dispenser? (super glue? or what? and how exactly?)

How to repair tear in windshield washer fluid bag?
Q. I have a small tear, maybe one inch long, in my windshield washer fluid bag, on my 1964 Valiant. How can i repair the tare? It looks like the bag is made of vinyl. Also, if you know where i could find a Chrysler washer-fluid bag, it'd be appreciated. I want to keep it original, and a bottle isn't original for this car. They used a bag, this is the original it's 46 years old, probably why it did tear. Do you think duct-taping it, and then putting a rubber paste seal on it, would last for a while?

A. try one of those junk yards or the internet then,or call chrysler and ask them if they can sell you the bag

How to repair a hole in a fiberglass boat when it continues to seep water?
Q. We have a small hole on the bottom of our boat. It will not stop seeping water to fix it. It has not been in the water since last fall ! We have a bondo fiberglass repair kit, We thought it was dry and put one layer on. Went back the next day to do another layer and it was wet and still seeping water. We have been waiting forever for this boat to dry to fix it. Is there anything that we can fix it with while its wet ?

A. Do not use BONDO..(which is polyester resin) to repair...You need to use Epoxy resin. Polyester resin is fine when you build a boat, but for repairs get a West systems epoxy kit. The nice thing about expoxy is that it generates heat while it cures which will help dry out some of that moisture. Before you start tho, I would put a heat lamp on the area, or a heat gun, (use care to not get anything too hot) to dry our as much moisture as possible. Make sure you rough up the area where the leak is so that the repair will stick. West systems has video and phamplets to show you how to use it. You can use filler to thicken the epoxy and even lay down new fiberglass cloth to reinforce the area. Epoxy can be blended and sanded with grinders and… [cont.]
