I don’t know if this will work for droplets but a quick way to get a hydrophobic coating is to spit on your glasses and then wipe lightly. You can also use a little tiny spot of detergent, I mean really tiny, and smear it without wiping
Oh I have not tried this, but what about a little RainX
Turtle Wax helps a little with rain and fog on glasses. But only a little.
Regular Rain-X will damage plastic/poly eyeglass lenses both by causing the coating(s) to flake off/rub off and by causing the lenses to delaminate. I did this to my eyeglass lenses before I knew better like a decade ago. There’s a formulation for plastic windshields but I don’t know if they make anything specifically for eyeglasses.
Sanding down a frame to paint for a friend, found some pinholes due to rust on the chain stays.
They don’t do much heavy riding, primarily small commutes and jaunts to tinder date park hangs.
Figure I could rustmort the insides and then frame save but what do y’all think about me just filling the holes with brass?
The previous owner was a shithead bike messenger so I can only assume that’s when the rust happened but he isn’t the original owner of it either.
If that is what you can see on the outside I’d be pretty worried about the inside IMO. Some of those look like the surrounding area is very thin.
I’d be nopeing out, pointing out the holes and leaving the ‘should I ride this’ decision to the person who takes the fall if the frame fails.
That’s sort of what I’m thinking. Like if it were mine I’d fucking send it. Definitely has been neglected for a bit. I’m still sort of leaning towards maybe doing that but no yeah I for sure understand that
I’d be a bit nervous about the pitting around those holes. If it was mine, I’d be lopping off and replacing those chainstays, but that’s a somewhat more involved repair than a repaint.
What’s the best+lowest priced tubeless sealant out there? About to run out of Orange Seal
Yeah, fair. I just didn’t really want to go thru the process of stripping another frame down to paint
Supposedly wiping with the cut end of a potato also works kinda like rain x but I haven’t tried it
Wow, potatoes cure covid and make your glasses hydrophobic? What can’t they do?!?
They can also extract splinters and if you toss an old piece in the garden they replicate themselves
you can also eat them
I have a LOT of potatoes growing in my garden so I’m looking for all the uses of potatoes. My feet are gonna be so free of toxins!
I like the idea of you seeding Chicago with taters by launching them out of a tater gun.
The ladies at the garden said that taters are the number one favorite crop of the under 6 crowd. Something about digging in the dirt.
Also: vodka
your kid is a fashion icon. sad can only like that post once.
as someone who has never planted potatoes, this looks like a dad playing a joke on their kid. much like how asparagus grows like someone is trying to trick you into thinking that’s how asparagus grows.
Chipped taters in an air fryer are just 2 minute noodles with different geometry.
