Off-Topic / 5 Things to do with Toothpicks
« on: July 13, 2011, 12:52:48 pm »Message ID: 384707
Got these tips from an older issue of Woman's Day magazine.
1) Temporarily save your glasses: If you lose a screw, slide a piece of toothpick into the screw hold. Add tape to hold things together until you can get them fixed.
2) Decorate a cake: Lightly sketch your letters, etc... in the frosting with a toothpick before you ice to prevent mistakes.
3) Prevent shredded tape: Stick a toothpick to the cut end of packing tape so you can find it next time.
4) Fill in small scratches: The next time you have a scratch that you to fill with paint, putty or varnish, use a toothpick to spread it along the scraped area.
5) Plug a garden hose leak: Break off a third of a toothpick and slide it into the hole until the edge is flush with the hose. Wrap waterproof tape around the hose to secure.
