As I mentioned above, I only know of one approved sweet preserve that calls for gelatin and is canned. It's comparing apples and oranges to think of gelatin in a refrigerated preserve (which was the original recommendation in your recipe - a Ball recipe, by the way) as opposed to canning something like venison, which as Linda Lou points out, requires a pressure canner. That's a world away from 10-minute boiling water bath. Carol Here is a link that might be useful: Canned Fig-Strawberry Preserves with Gelatin

I have spent some money and some time to resurface my traditional office desk which already has a layer of stain and poly. It has few scratched and peeling, so I need to sand it down and redo the surface. I followed all instructions and still having bubble on top of the newly applied polyurethane. Finally, I created my own method. - Clean up and remove all dust on the surface of the wood, in my case, it is the table top of my office desk. - Apply oil based polyurethane with stain color with brush; I used the cheap $1.25 bristle brush from Lowe's. I chose polyurethane with stain color in it. You can choose different color at Lowe’s and it also has gloss and satin (semi gloss) choices. Apply a thick layer on the surface of the wood or on my office desk in my case. There should be many bubbles on the top. Some suggest using heat gun while applying so the bubbles pop and disappear, I have not tried that because I don’t have a heat gun. I ignore the bubbles there for now. Then let it dry thoroughly after few hours or next day. - Sand the surface with very fine 300 or higher sand paper with an electric hand sander. Sand out all bubbles on surface as much as possible. It will scratch the entire surface, don't worry. But do not sand too deep, we still want the polyurethane and the stain on the surface. It is very difficult to remove all trace of bubbles, I stopped when most bubbles are not noticeable. When sanding with electric sander, make sure you sand fully the surface, do not sand with an angle off the wood and do not create track or ditch on the wood. - Clean up and remove all dust on the surface. I use web cloth, and then dry paper towel. Let it dry before next step. - Now mix the poly (with build-in stain color) with mineral spirit in about 5 to 1 ratio. Apply the mixture on the surface again. Do not uses brush this time. Use a paper towel and fold it into a square 2"x2" shape. Then wrap it with a fine cloth, I use silk cloth in my case. Use it to apply the mixture on top of the wood surface. The mixture must be thin enough so that you can swipe across surface without resistance. Add more mineral spirit if necessary. Follow the wood grain and "sail" along the surface with the cloth. Make sure the mixture cover entire surface. - Now let it dry. The surface should be shiny again. You could repeat above step if necessary until you have an almost smooth wood surface or table top. The stain in the poly will create darker or lighter color on the wood surface, that is ok and that is nice. - You are not done. Now mix the oil based fast drying polyurethane with mineral spirit and use new cloth and paper towel to apply one more layer on the wood. Again, make sure the mixture is thin enough and your cloth is fully absolve with the mixture. Apply the mixture to entire surface, you don't need to follow wood grain direction this time. You make sure the entire surface is wet. After it is dry, you can apply 2nd layer until the wood surface is smooth enough for you. Notice that this fast drying poly will deepen the color of your surface. The more layer you apply, the deeper the color. It takes a few days :-)

Hi - not a professional, but I had to move a couple pendants in my kitchen and the area was patched and painted, but not the entire ceiling. You could see where the new paint was for a little while but it eventually faded to match the rest. However, the pendants I moved had only been up for a few months so maybe that’s why the new paint eventually blended?

The Platinum line is a "secure" door, so it installs on the outside of your house door, not within the jambs/head (e.g. brickmould). And part of that security is having a fixed 4 sided frame, which includes the threshold. If you do not like the extra threshold beyond your house door, then you will have to buy a different style of door.
