There is a product that my sister uses to remove wax, that you can get from a beauty supply place. She is an aesthetician and recommended it when I made a really dumb move - blowing out a candle with a huge pool of melted was. OK, so you know where the melted wax ended up - ON EVERYTING! I have a painted, white dining room table and that stuff really helped. It didn't ruin the finish either. Also, when my sister moved, her wax machine, full of melted wax, spilled onto everything - walls, floors, papers, furniture; you get the idea. She was able to use that stuff to remove the wax without any problems from everything but the papers. Let me go find the bottle to check the name - OK, it's Sure Clean by GiGi. I've used it for "melted plastic", and it worked for me. Also, I just called my very smart ex-husband to see what he thought. We had tree sap all over my car and he used alcohol to remove it. It didn't ruin the clearcoat finish. He said to tell you to use a hair dryer to warm up the plastic and then use rubbing alcohol to remove it. He said anything like that should work - just don't use any acid based product. I asked the dumb question on whether the alcohol would ruin the finish on your pan. The response - No, that's why they call it stainless steel!! Is he that smart, or me that dumb - OMG!! Anyway, hope you get results from at least one of all of our great suggestions. I've done the same thing many times with the plastic bags that bread comes in. LOL. gng Good luck - hope it helps.

Wow - your mirror frame is really nice! I have gone back and forth for weeks (using up all my available time, I might add) trying to figure out how to best spend my money to sell the house. I don't have enough time/money to do what I would do were I planning to stay in the house. But it won't work to just slap a coat of paint up there either. Anyway, I have decided that the best approach for me is to spend as little money as possible in the hall/kids bath and use most of the money for the master bath. So in the hall, I literally do not have the money for a new frame (because I am not handy and would end up paying someone to do it for me). I will add also, that they put the screws WAY in on the mirror - about 6" in, so it would end up being a very deep frame. As I was gazing upon the mirror this morning, it just occured to me that maybe the mirror industry had made something a little nicer since 1968. Or even a little round mirrored piece to use so it would blend better. I'll check the "little bin" section of Lowes/HD and see what I can find. Thanks, everyone! I love this website!

We had a standing-seam metal roof put in about 5 years ago when our "20-year" composition shingles gave up the ghost at 13 years. It's absolutely wonderful. Being a light-colored metallic, it actually radiates some heat away from the house and garage. I know this because I have my studio in the garage, and I have a dual read thermometer in the attic space and down in the studio. With the shingle roof, we used to get attic readings of 125+ degrees on hot days. Now it's a more reasonable 89 degrees today - with our outside temperature at 104 degrees. This allows the room A/C in the studio to keep me cool - it used to be I'd have to retreat to the house if the garage attic temp topped 100 degrees. It just took too much power to cool the studio past noon in the summer. Yes, the initial cost is a bit more, but they are much more durable, long-lasting, and energy efficient. We get hail, and we hear it bouncing on the deck. We do not hear it on the roof. Nor do we hear rain noise, except through the doors, when we're standing right there.

What am I missing? Why won't a traditional floor scraper and some muscle work to get this up like every other floor with goop on it?
