How to fix cracking ceiling with radiant heating wires?
Comments (3)With the adhesive failing, the only permanant fix is to remove all of the old layers and install new drywall. Yes, it's messy and unpleasant, but once you are done with that job, you are DONE with fixes. Any patchwork type of repair will just involve continually patchwork repairs as the glue continues to fail in other spots....See MoreHow do I fix this crack in my marble table? Is it even a crack?

Comments (9)Thanks everyone! I won't be able to do this until Fall, since I have a huge waterlily growing in it. The crack is small and the leakage is minimal so far. I'll keep my eye on it and if it gets worse, I guess I'll have to figure out what to do with this huge waterlily (and the million tadpoles that live in the tank). If I can wait until later Fall, after the stocktank is drained, would it be better to do it early next spring, so it doesn't live through winter first? I wonder what causes these cracks.....might it be manipulating this big stocktank to turn it over in winter and then back up again in spring........or could it be a slight unevenness when it's full? I'm sure the sun is hard on it too. I have 2 in-ground 300 gallon stocktanks and (knock on wood), they've been leak-free for at least 15 years. But that's probably because of never being moved or exposed to the sun. I'm going to print off all your suggestions so I have easy access to them when the time comes. I really appreciate everyone's suggestions!...See MoreHow to fix a crack along seam of an integrated quartz sink?
Comments (2)Thabks for the reply. Dissapointing. Is the problem that it was manufactured incorrectly? Why do some sinks crack at the seam and others don't or is this a feature of integrated sinks. I know I'm in denial but in addition to the whole vanity, we have built in cabinet and seat with same stone and it would all have to be replaced ad I doubt I'd find the same stone to just fix the sink....See Moretxgal06
