Tips? Difficulty connecting 1/2' tubing and fittings
Comments (4)Hi farmwife, I don't bury the black 1/2" poly pipe it is easy to reconnect and disconnect that way. If the line needs to be buried, I bury the pvc white pipe as a header line and have the poly come off of that. What are you using it for? What brand are the fittings? I don't know of any special technique just maybe some tools that probably could help. If I had a better description of your need and layout I could more helpful. Are you using a pressure regulated system? Aloha....See Moresewing fabric masks
Comments (36)The usefulness of the mask is a function of what it is being used for. While a fabric mask can't block the spread of the virus, it can capture most of the spittle that one ejects when one speaks, coughs or sneezes which is the primary form of virus transmission. Especially for those who are forced to be in close quarters with others, it can help prevent the spread of the disease. And a close fitting mask of fabric is better than a bandana tied around the face. It protects others from the wearer rather than vice versa. But the more who wear it, the more community protection everyone receives. While I wouldn't recommend them for medical personnel who are forced to be in close quarters with infected people for hours a day, it is thought to be of benefit to the general populace. Q: What mistakes are other countries making? A: The big mistake in the U.S. and Europe, in my opinion, is that people aren’t wearing masks. This virus is transmitted by droplets and close contact. Droplets play a very important role—you’ve got to wear a mask, because when you speak, there are always droplets coming out of your mouth. Many people have asymptomatic or presymptomatic infections. If they are wearing face masks, it can prevent droplets that carry the virus from escaping and infecting others.Source...See MoreFirst trip out with makeshift mask...
Comments (41)To those of you who contemplate using coffee filters inside a cloth mask - the mask is supposed to filter out droplets (moisture). The coffee filters are designed to let moisture through, otherwise we would have no coffee. I moved out of retirement 5 bandanas, folded them as was shown on TV and shoved the ends into each other so that they would not slide. Result 16 layers of cloth and pretty impossible to blow out a candle. Advantage of these, they can be washed, thrown in the dryer and ironed on hot. I have to be extra careful because I have to get my husband to his cancer clinic for chemo and radiation 5 times a week and his immunity is totally shot....See MoreIf masks are required, provide the masks
Comments (40)Oregon does not require masks, but the few times I've ventured out I've seen most people are wearing them. My husband has started wearing them as well-he's got a lot of dust masks since his work involves working with fiberglass and concrete. I ordered four masks from a local seamstress, they're pleated and have a pocket and ties rather than elastic, which I prefer since I can't stand having anything around my ears. I've heard there is an elastic shortage in my area. And I recently gave away all the hair ties I had sine I cut my hair short (now almost regretting that since the grow out is fierce!) I've read that the blue shop towels mechanics use are equivalent to N95 masks. We also have an abundance of those, so I slip a folded one in to my mask when I use it. I've found also that the material of the mask is important, one of mine is just a cotton material and it's too scratchy for my face, but the flannel lined one is wonderful, if a little warm after wearing for a few hours. It's fine for quick grocery/Costco runs. Next Door, Facebook Marketplace and Etsy are great resources to find seamstresses who make cloth masks....See Moresocks
