I had an episode a few years back where i experienced skin issues and open wounds. I used the below product as a body wash on a loofa or a cloth and it kept my wounds clean and helped to heal. Hope your student finds some relief.

Hibiclens Antimicrobial/Antiseptic Skin Cleanser 32 Fluid Ounce Bottle for Antimicrobial Skin Cleansing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EV1D79A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZnrSDb03AXDDP

"I swear to god, Swen! Two large creatures appeared, put me in a bag, then did tests to me, there were bright lights and stuff, it was awful!"

"Ya, sure. You smell like alcohol again."

And that, my friend, is why this exists.

Get StarSan. It is a food grade sanitation solution. Basically it's acid. Make sure you read and FOLLOW the directions on the bottle. Wear gloves. It MUST be diluted or you can damage both your skin and the canteen. If I remember correctly, it's like 12 bucks for a bottle or two on Amazon. The purpose I use and know it for is sanitization of home brewing equipment. It will kill all the nasties.

Alternatively, you could rinse the thing with Listerine. Kills 99.9% of germs and it will smell minty fresh.

Have you ever heard of Bag Balm?

My family and all of New England swears by this stuff. Much better than vaseline, but a bit stinky.

99% Isopropyl Alcohol + toothbrush

If all else fails, you can order it from Amazon

Replying with something useful now. If you don't want it to happen again, use Imperial Sizing Wax, or if you want to use a spray lube, something Lanolin based such as Dillon or Frankfort arsenal.


You can also make it yourself for much cheaper; use these components and mix anywhere from 8:1 to 12:1, it really doesn't matter.

99% Alcohol:

The only advantage to One-Stuck is that you don't have to tumble it off like you do the lanolin-based lubes. I still use one-shot for pistol brass (even using carbide dies; I like butter smooth sizing), but don't use it on rifle brass anymore. If you don't "shake well" and apply it liberally, you'll pay for it with stuck rifle brass.

I would like to preface this by saying this is what I would do for me personally knowing what I know now about my own skin. If I were making suggestions for someone else I think this list would be very very different.

Under $50:

Heimish All Clean Balm [$17]

CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion [$11]

CeraVe Healing Ointment [$9]

Australian Gold Tinted Sunscreen [$13]

This particular budget was actually a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I prioritized Sunscreen first, because that is an important product to me and it is a product that was difficult to find something I was happy using every day. I picked the cleanser next because I knew it was going to be pricey at this budget. I really think oil cleansing has done wonders for my skin. I especially like balms. I find them much easier to use. I occasionally like to use a straight oil, but on a daily basis using something with an emulsifier is just more practical. In reality if I had to stick to this budget all the time, I would probably sub out the Heimish for an emulsifying cleansing oil like Kose or the Simple one. I just haven't used either of those yet, I wasn't comfortable substituting that for the sake of this exercise.

I don't think I would be totally happy with this routine long term. It's not as hydrating as I tend towards and it doesn't have any actives. The CeraVe lotion is nice, but I wouldn't LOVE using it. I picked this over the CeraVe cream because I find that the cream does not actually sink into my skin. It's nice over other thinner formulas, but it tugs at my skin uncomfortably if used on its own.

Under $100

Heimish All Clean Balm [$17]

Stridex Maximum Acne Medication Pads [$4]

Dear, Klairs Supple Proparation Facial Toner [$22]

Hada Labo Gokujun Premium Hyaluronic Solution [$15]

Holika Holika Skin and Good Cera Super Cream [$17] (this is discontinued, but as long as it's $17 at Amazon or CVS where I bought it I will probably keep using it)

Jojoba Oil [$8 @ Trader Joe's]

CeraVe Healing Ointment [$3] [Travel Size]

Australian Gold Tinted Sunscreen [$13]

TBH this is making me realize how much money I actually spend on my routine. GEEZ I DIDN'T NEED THIS TODAY. Essentially I just took out the CeraVe lotion and added my HG Hydrating/Moisturizing Layers. The Klairs seems like so much of a splurge here, but it really truly is one of my favorite products to use. It is very hydrating and soothing to me. I also added the Stridex because it's cheap, effective, easy to use and this is one active I know I can tolerate if I keep up my hydration/moisturization.

I think the CeraVe Healing Ointment is a true workhorse and I would never be with out it, BUT I don't actually use very much of it. I mean I bought my first 3 oz. tube 9 months ago and I don't think I've even used half of it. With the smaller budget it makes more sense to get a bigger tube because it can be SUCH a multitasker, but since I have a few more items in the way of "moisturizing" here, I would probably purchase a very small tube of the ointment (mostly for my lips and the corners of my nose) and also incorporate Jojoba Oil. I love Jojoba for cleansing and for mixing into other products. My very chapped lips also DRINK UP oils like no one's business.

I am ashamed to say this routine is still short of some things I use pretty frequently, but I would still be happy with it. It has everything I actually need.

Under $200:

Heimish All Clean Balm [$17]

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser [$15]

Stridex Maximum Acne Medication Pads [$4]

Stratia Soft Touch AHA [$14]

Dear, Klairs Supple Proparation Facial Toner [$22]

Hada Labo Gokujun Premium Hyaluronic Solution [$15]

Stratia Rewind [$16]

Stratia Liquid Gold [$24]

Holika Holika Skin and Good Cera Super Cream [$17]

Jojoba Oil [$8 @ Trader Joe's]

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Soothing Repairing Balm [$15]

CeraVe Healing Ointment [$3] [Travel Size]

Raw Honey [$7ish]

Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask [$5]

Australian Gold Tinted Sunscreen [$13]

Again these all the same products as before. The three additions I use frequently are the LRP B5, Stratia Liquid Gold, and Stratia Rewind. The Raw Honey and the Queen Helene are masks that I know work for me and are fun to use. I very rarely use the honey buy itself, but it is lovely as a mask mixed with the Klairs (thanks to u/LGBTQBBQ for that tip). I've also included the Stratia Soft Touch here because it is on my list to try. I'm pretty sensitive to actives and I think a 10% Mandelic is something I could handle.

I actually really enjoyed having to think about my routine like this. I really thought I had paired down my routine quite a bit and I suppose I have, but even the $200 budget would not be enough to repurchase everything I use on a monthly basis. This (mostly) doesn't even include things I want to try or things I have around just in case or just because. Realistically I would have a couple more wash off masks, and eye cream (even though it is not at all necessary imo), at least one other kind of sunscreen, and maybe one or two other moisturizers.

But I guess I'm that kind of extra bitch.

...and like its a hobby right? It's ok to spend money on a hobby.

At least that is what I'll tell myself.

Try this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/Bag-Balm-Ointment-8-Ounce/dp/B0014CI4X8

Rub it in when you get home from work, or overnight with gloves, and see what you get.

Yes, it is completely safe. It is completely legal to buy online without any sort of prescription or license, including at Amazon.

DIY Lanolin and Alcohol works just as well and is far cheaper. Grab some bottles with it and you're set.

Check out /r/Homebrewing and just start saving. Even 2 dollars a day with you and a friend and you could be rolling in a couple months.

edit: also start saving glass bottles that require a bottle opener. Those are reusable.

edit2: Things you'll need. Feel free to find similar products.

cooler with spigot

valve(I'm not sure of the size on that igloo)

bazooka screen

bottles(make sure they're brown)

caps

some sort of gas stove. say a propane stove, a turkey fryer, or a kitchen stove.

a large pot

starsan

I'm probably forgetting things.

Basically get a tin of Bag Balm.

Whenever you are home put a bit on your lips, especially before bed. They will heal up in no time at all. As a bonus you can also use this stuff on other areas of dried skin, such as chapped hands, cracked heels, dry elbows etc. And it is quite a bit cheaper than blistex or the beeswax (which aren't as effective in my experience).

I've been using this stuff for as long as I can remember and other than prescription cortisone cream it is the only thing I've found that will help dry skin heal quickly, and stay healed.

Spring for the good stuff. You can't can get 99% isopropyl alcohol some places (like Amazon). Might be able to find it with the first aid stuff, but that's also where you would find the more dilute 70% bottles.

I'll just give you a list of the items I've been using (and like):

https://www.amazon.com/Hakko-T18-D08-D12-D24-D32/dp/B00C1N30DI Hakko FX-888D. The extra tips may be unnecessary, I only ever use the one chisel tip

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P8Z4RPG Hot air station (works well despite Chinesium)

Also, I noticed in Dave's videos he rarely adds flux, just the flux that's built into the multicore solder. I don't know if I'm alone on this one but with flux I always felt the bigger the glob the better the job. Just have to clean it afterwards with the solvent, tissues & brushes.

Edit: Okay that's a much bigger list than I thought, this stuff can get expensive!

> $549 retail

Damn it, I have to do math again....

For $550 you can also purchase the following:

• Home brew starter kit w/ 5 gallon kettle - $90 (this is essentially what I started with 6 years ago and still use everything)
  
  
• A free extract kit with the above purchase
  
  
• You'll need something to put that homebrew in. 2 cases of 1 L flip tops - $76
  
  
• Cleaning supplies, both PBW and StarSan - $40
  
  
• Everyone's favorite brewing book - $12
  
  That's really everything you need for one batch and we're only up to $218...
  To fill the gap of $282, how about 7 extract kits estimating about $40 per kit?
  
  So with my plan of $548 (that's one dollar cheaper!) you get 40 gallons of beer! How much does the competitor make per batch?
  
  > The newer keg, which is the same volume (1.75 gallons) as the old keg will have simplified connectors.

Linky for those lazy like me.

1. First question

The kit you linked looks pretty bad from the reviews alone, I wouldn't buy it. You want one of the kits you'll see on sites like Nihonzashi, or from Bill Rannow, or Bob Benson, or anywhere else you see the same mass-produced kit.

The quality of the kits varies. On the other hand the quality needed also varies according to the blade. A monosteel production blade with a budget finish doesn't need special treatment, whereas an antique in $3000 Juyo-level polish ought to be babied a bit more.

Typically, the oil from the online kits is okay to use — note you want the clear oil, the yellower stuff is not as good. The little hammer used to push out the mekugi is virtually identical everywhere. The cleaning & oiling cloths are ok. The uchiko — absorbent / abrasive powder applied via that "pom pom" thing — is often terrible, causing obvious starburst scuffs; better ones are unfortunately kind of expensive.

The cleaning guide I linked to in the nihontō guide is the traditional method. However, a lot of modern collectors — of both Japanese-style & actual antiques — go a totally different route. I myself use:

1. 100% Anhydrous Isopropyl Alcohol to remove old oil
   
   
2. Blue "shop towels" to apply alcohol or oil and/or wipe down
   
   
3. Microfiber cloths for the last bit of residual oil / water / whatever
   
   
4. Any plain light mineral oil to protect. The oil is perhaps the most religious topic here, you'll hear people say they only use the traditional chōji abura from Japan (just light mineral oil with a few drops of clove for scent), others will say certain gun oils / collector oils are fine, others even go with sewing machine oil or similar… some collectors in dry environments and who have nicely-made traditional shirasaya even go without any oil at all. Note that this debate exists at the level of preserving valuable antiques, it really doesn't make a difference for production swords so long as you use any kind of mineral oil base. No reason you can't use the traditional stuff on a production sword though.
   
   
5. NO uchiko at all! That's right, a lot of modern collectors say that with alcohol, the point of uchiko (to get rid of the dried oil) is moot at best, and destructive at worst. Uchiko is an abrasive left over from the polishing process. It can help clear up a faded blade but on a fresh polish it can only reduce the clarity.
   
   

   2. Second question
   

   
   Not going to go into all the details on this but it highly depends what you mean by "safely display". The traditional method is to rest the sword in koshirae (mounts) edge-up, tsuka-left, in a katana kake. Of course this doesn't prevent anybody from picking it up or anything.

I got a HUGE bottle on Amazon for like $15 I think. It is bigger than my bottle of shampoo.

Bag Balm, baby.

AKA Udder Cream.

You're losing moisture to the cold dry air, and the solution is to seal your skin before you go out with the same thing farmers use on cow teats.

There's several brands, the one around me comes in a little green tin. It's 1/2 Vaseline (which was discovered by oil rig workers, they found it oozing out of pipes and put it on their hands to seal against the North Sea) and 1/2 lanolin (the stuff that makes sheep smell like sheep, and makes their wool weatherproof.)

You can get it from Whole Foods, about a tablespoon for five bucks, or you can find the same thing in vet/farm supplies by the pound. Lasts forever. CVS has it cheaper than Amazon.

Put in on in the morning, really slather it on, just deal with the icky feeling for a few minutes, it'll pass, then when it's all nice and sunk in head out into the wind. If you're in really rough shape, put it on the night before under gloves and then don't wash your hands the next morning. Cotton photographers gloves work great.

-Vermonter who feels your pain.

Thank you! The dinner napkins and forks were purchased from Smarty Had a Party, and the bags, twine, and wet wipes were purchased from Amazon.

Altogether it cost $48.75 and made enough bags for 48 guests (could have made 60 if I purchased another 16 pack of napkins for $1.89) with 32 leftover forks that I'll put in mason jars on the appetizers & dessert table.

>What is the best way to ensure I don't have the carbonation start to come into play?

By understanding what your hydro is telling you. There are a variety of stabilization methods covered on the wiki, including time and abv, running out of sugar, heat, chemicals and forced filtration. Chemicals are the easiest for a rookie, I personally prefer ABV. Each method has pros and cons.

>made for home brewing buckets

food grade =!= o2 impermeable through the walls. I have to look it up every time for which plastics are both food safe and o2 proof. Seals can be an issue in any bucket, like you were thinking. Oxidation is a huge killer for brewing. If you don't overstay your welcome in a random bucket it is a non issue. You can buy a bucket with airlock, spigot and lid for ~14$ though. It's hard to get all that for less.

https://www.amazon.com/Star-San-4C-YKNL-FWNT-San-16oz/dp/B0064O7Y64/ref=asc_df_B0064O7Y6450285

That's a lifetime supply for most brewers. I think I'm on number 3 of those bottles at most and I have 800 gallons or so to my name.

your LHBS is generally going to be the cheapest for everything but honey and kegging equipment, and maybe bottling supplies depending on the deal. I bully the local shop into volume discounts when I buy a few hundred bottles.

https://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Signature-Pure-Honey-Pound/dp/B007F2EQEW/

There are plenty of honey's available on amazon. The above is a decent cheap one. There are better honey's out there but this shows up at your door tomorrow for a reasonable price. A lot of "raw" and "organic" honey's are full of shit, but it's hard to tell what's good an what's not without tasting. If something is grade A and "raw" it's probably a lie. USDA grades have a lot to do with clarity and honey that hasn't been heated of filtered has better aroma and flavor may struggle to mead Grade A criteria.

Staph is killed by chlorhexidine (Hibiclens). Purchasing a Hibiclens body wash, say from Amazon, and washing your armpits and other parts of your body with it may kill the bacteria and get rid of your symptoms.

Best of wishes!

The best stuff is Tegaderm. I won't use anything else on road rash. Clean the wound well and sterilize with Hibiclens or something similar. Then, cover the whole wound with Tegaderm. In my experience wounds covered in Tegaderm heal much faster as they stay moist. If your wound has a lot of exudate you can use an absorbent bandage at the bottom of the Tegaderm which will soak up any excess discharge and can be disposed of without disturbing the healing process.

For this brand I would prefer CeraVe Healing Ointment as it has a simple ingredient list.

I recommend using a hydrating toner. This stuff helps the moisturizer sink in better. A popular recommendation is Hada Labo gokujyun lotion. I'm on my second bottle and I will keep repurchasing it. It's also fragrance-free.

Another recommendation would be using an occlusive after moisturizer. It locks in the moisture so it doesn't evaporate from your skin. There's good ol' Vaseline, Aquaphor, and CeraVe healing ointment (which is my personal favorite). They're all fragrance-free. You only need a small amount to cover the face. I use like... a dime size amount.

I actually do have times of extremely flaky skin - luckily it was a good day where my skin was actually properly hydrated and flake free! I’m mostly combination skin but more on the dryness scale. But I would say it would most likely cake like makeup would :(

If you want to try it, on flakey days I massage in CeraVe Healing ointment. It is like Vaseline but it it melts into like a creamy gel when you put it on. I blot off the excess with a tissue then apply makeup etc. It generally keeps the flakes from forming for a few hours, and it doesn’t clog my pores. It’s not that expensive and its loaded with ceramides that keeps skin hydrated. They sell it on amazon and in drugstores. I bought the huge 12 oz jar because I love it.

And they are both good for sensitive skin, so it shouldn’t flare up your psoriasis (but I’m not an expert).

CeraVe link:

I think I've posted about this stuff 5 times over the last couple of days, but it is my end-all-be-all HG lip balm.

Don't be deterred by the fact that it's made for cows udders (and it smells slightly medicinal); my mom's been using it since she was a kid and passed the habit on to me. It's the only thing that keeps my lips from cracking and flaking in the winter. I think it may be magical.

http://smile.amazon.com/Bag-Balm-OBBR-Ointment/dp/B0014CI4X8/ref=smi_www_rcolv2_go_smi?_encoding=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

Plus the amount you get for the price is INSANE. I put it into smaller tins and have one in every room of the house plus one at my office and a few spares to give as samples to my friends who ask me what I use on my lips!

My hands are wonderful, actually. My knuckles started splitting last month, and I was all "oh fuck no" and dug out my Bag Balm to start applying before I leave home for a shift and usually before bed. It's petroleum jelly, lanolin, and an anti-septic, so basically the unholy love child of Vaseline, lotion, and neosporin. It also doesn't sting to apply if your knuckles have started cracking. Does leave a mild stickiness on your hands, but nothing too bad.

I swear, I'm not a shill. Unless you have lanolin/wool allergies, shit is magic. A tin is only like $10 and lasts me over a year (and I put it on everything from chapped lips to sun burn to blisters to my whole face when it feels dry).

That's why this exists

Actually it is on amazon.com, too.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004CPQBRA
There are varieties i believe.

I get lots of sharp pains and burning, but Calmoseptine ointment has made a huge difference for me. I’ve tried probably a dozen other products and all were more expensive and less effective. It’s not meant for internal use, but I highly recommend for external discomfort.

This stuff is the shit: https://www.amazon.com/Calmoseptine-Ointment-Tube-4-Ounce/dp/B0064FFP96

this is where I started:

I have made this in the past and it turned out quite well:

Also, a great reference:
http://www.howtobrew.com/

you can also buy it in paperback, which I would recommend

beyond that kit, he'll need a big (5 gal a good place to start) kettle. I have a 5 gallon SS version, you can get fancier, but better off starting simple. something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Prime-Pacific-Stainless-Steel-Quart/dp/B0017WPY1A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1323059145&sr=8-2

also need to get a sanitizer, I use starsan:
http://www.amazon.com/Star-San--32-oz/dp/B0064O7YFA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323059205&sr=8-1

I use leftover bottle from other beer - most batches come out to about 50 bottles.

I'm sure there's plenty I've forgotten, hopefully others will fill in.

Yes - according to at least my local health department, the guidelines to prevent contamination, etc are:

• keep cold things under 40 degrees
  
• keep hot things above 120
  
  If something has been heated and then cooled, it can't be between 40 and 120 degrees for more than 4 hours. If you are cooling something, then you should be using an ice bath. The fastest way to cool something is by immersing the container in ice+salt water. If you cool in the fridge, the contents will actually take longer than the safe time period to cool down.
  
  If you have mold growing in any open or closed containers in your fridge, take the opportunity to empty your fridge and give everything a deep clean. Otherwise, nasties like listeria can grow. It could even be a little dripping leak somewhere that's collecting in the back, encouraging mold growth.

  Also:

  You can also pick up good sanitizers at your local home-brew store. Friends of mine use a product called Starsan for their home brewing to keep everything sterile. It's also EXCELLENT at getting rid of tea stains if you leave things to soak for an hour or so (depending on how stained they are).
  
  http://www.amazon.com/Midwest-Homebrewing-and-Winemaking-Supplies/dp/B0064O7YFA

I just soak everything in diluted Star San. It's flavorless, odorless, biodegradable, has a 30-second contact time to obliterate basically everything, and is safe for human consumption.

I homebrew beer and Star San is the cleaning agent I use to sanitize all of my brewing equipment. Sanitation in beer brewing is the absolute #1 most important factor when brewing beer, you want your equipment to basically be sterile. You can't achieve sterility unless you use an autoclave, but Star San will get you damned near to it. Any little contaminant, even microscopically, can infect and ruin beer. I've been brewing for 10+ years and have never had an infected batch that I didn't mean to infect (sour beers), and Star San is the reason for that. If it's good enough to sanitize brewing equipment, it's overkill for sanitizing CPAP equipment.

And the best part is it requires essentially no work from me whatsoever. I just throw everything in a bucket of Star San solution twice per week and let it sit for a couple minutes, then rinse. Done. Even that is overkill though, since it technically requires only 30 seconds. I usually just throw it in and then go make some coffee, then rinse after coffee is done.

You can mix up 5 gallons of Star San solution with distilled water and it will be good for years of repeated use if you cover it.

Buy some Star San, mix it in a bucket with distilled water to the ratio stated on the bottle, and you're set for literal years. It'll foam up when you agitate it. Don't fear the foam, the foam is good. You can also use it to clean basically everything else in your house, too.

This reads like an advertisement, but I love this shit. It cleans everything, is safe for humans, last for years, and requires basically no work from you aside from the initial dilution. Just buy it, it's great.

Three things help me: 1) a bidet sprayer on my home toilet, 2) flushable wipes - both medicated and non-medicated, and 3) Calmoseptine.

If you try medicated wipes, I recommend the name brand Preparation H wipes. Store brand wipes have been too harsh in my experience. Medicated wipes will sting if you're badly irritated, but it will calm down quickly. And I cannot possibly speak highly enough about Calmoseptine.

If you have a damaged skin barrier, you're gonna want to cool it with the exfoliating (ESPECIALLY no to a chemical peel).

What has personally worked best for me when I've gone a little nuts on the actives and messed up my skin are these products:

http://www.sephora.com/ceramidin-starter-kit-P384555?skuId=1589274&icid2=D=c6:products%20grid:p384555
(Dr. Jart Ceramidin liquid and cream)

^ both the serum and cream together, though the cream felt like it did more if you wanted to choose between the two.

Also:
https://www.amazon.com/CeraVe-Healing-Ointment-5-Ounce/dp/B016F3MESG

Followed by Cerave Healing ointment on top of whatever other lotion/serum/ cream I use.

Bag balm is like super moisturizing lotion. I believe it was original used for cow udders so they wouldn't get chapped in winter. It maintains my dog's pads quite well, though YMMV.

Re: tent. Totally depends on the size of your dog and your sleeping arrangements. For car camping, I use a two person tent and my dog's bed (bringing her own bed definitely helps calm her down)


I would not recommend a hammock: I'd rather have a dog barking in my tent then be running after one that is chasing a chipmunk or bear that walked by the campsite during the night.

It's just called Bag Balm. Amazon link: Bag Balm Ointment, 8 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014CI4X8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dVDnzbG0BD81T

Bag Balm is pretty awesome too.

This is the one I bought, from Amazon (because I have Prime). It's not really a lotion -- more like a salve. Thick and a little gross feeling when you first apply it, but it absorbs fairly quickly and then just leaves my skin feeling soft.

I would post pictures of my lesions, but honestly there's not much to look at yet. My hands and feet feel softer, but still have the tell-tale red lesions. I'll do before and afters if I start to notice any difference.

Goo Gone Surface Safe Adhesive Remover, Isopropyl Alcohol, Heat & Patience

https://www.amazon.com/Swan-Isopropyl-Alcohol-99-Pint/dp/B001B5JT8C?th=1

this is why you specifically search for 99% isopropyl alcohol right?
gigo man gigo.

https://www.amazon.ca/Swan-Isopropyl-Alcohol-99-Pint/dp/B001B5JT8C

That's not true at all. Oh, and no one should condone using bleach to sanitize makeup.

Thanks! If you're having a hard time cleaning your piece, try 99% proof Isopropyl Alcohol (available in most supermarkets) and some kosher salt (since it's coarse, it acts as a good abrasive). Mix it in the pipe, shake vigorously and rinse. I know some ents prefer a broken in pipe, but for me there's nothing better than smoking from a fresh, clean pipe.

Aquaphor healing ointment advanced therapy is my holy grail for chapped lips. I dab on a tiny bit after brushing my teeth in the morning and slather it on right before falling asleep at night.

A little bird I know also on Accutane uses this for her lips.

I want one just for lols.

New Reasons To Wash Your Hands

Only one way to know

http://www.amazon.com/Dynarex-Ammonia-Inhalants-33-Ampules/dp/B004K66RRA

I use them instead of a cup of coffee if I get drowsy at work.

They sell them at Amazon for like 4 bucks for 10. https://www.amazon.com/Dynarex-Ammonia-Inhalants-33-Ampules/dp/B004K66RRA/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1506720845&sr=8-1&keywords=ammonia%2Btablets&th=1

I think the last batch over-fermented. Were they fizzy, too? If it's too warm the culture goes crazy.

Here's my current recipe.

per quart of water:
3.5% brine (33g non-iodized salt per quart of water)
2 Tablespoons Dill seed
1 Tablespoon Mustard Seed
1 Tablespoon Black Peppercorns
1 Tablespoon Coriander Seed
1-2 Bay Leaves, crumbled
1/2 to 1 bulb Garlic, cloves separated, skinned and smashed a little
Small Whole Cucumbers (like Kirby), as many as will fit!

Leave out until brine becomes cloudy (about a week), then put in the fridge. Taste often! I like to wait at least 10-14 days -- if I have the willpower.

DON'T cut the blossom end! Any incision into the cuke greatly speeds the process and they get mushy fast. If you want, you can gently scrub any blossom remnants off.

Last, you can do a quick sanitize with Star San. A little goes a long way.

Good luck!

Star San - I use it to clean all of my homebrew equipment, as well as some coffee pieces (Chemex and Aeropress). Follow the directions for dilution, and soak whatever you want for as long as you want (although 30 seconds to 2 minutes is all that's really needed). Then just be sure to wash off with water and you're set.

I wouldn't use bleach, alcohol and hot water are much better. You could use food grade sanitizer, on decorations that can't take heat.

Background

Based upon my initial question: Is it wine or meed?, I am working on my first Mead/Pyment. I've taken the original recipe I cobbled together from a variety of sources.

Is it mead? Well yes. According to the calculators in the sidebar concord juice is about 8.89% sugar. Honey is roughly 80%. I'm no math wiz, but I fussed with both Google and Wolframalpha and 8.89% of two gallons is roughly 45 Tablespoons or 0.23 pounds of sugars, 1 Gallon of Honey is roughly equivalent to 204 tablespoons of sugars or 7.9 pounds of sugars. yes I know Different types of sugars, etc. etc. But the mixture here is getting much more than 51% of the sugars from honey, so: 'tis a Wine -> Mead -> Melomel -> Pyment.


The following is an expansion of The GotMead format for recipes.

1. Ingredients
   
   • Star-San - not technically an ingredient, but it's for sterilization. I think of it as an anti-ingredient keeping the bad bugs out. (Sprayer use= 1/4 tsp to 650ml water & 60 second exposure)
     
   • 1.5 Gallons of boiled tap water (more or less to make things work out.) NOTE: I have well water, not city water - so no chlorine & plenty of minerals.
     
   • ~2 Gallons of homemade concord grape juice. (SG 1.060)
     Last year I pressed about about six gallons of grape juice from concords of my own. I was going to make jelly in the winter and froze it in the deep freeze.
     
   • 10lbs (now 15lbs) of Pure N Simple Honey.
     
   • ~3 tsp Fermax from Amazon.
     
   • Red Star Premier Blanc [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00434CB74)
     
     
2. Equipment
   
   • Large Stainless stock pot (for initial boil)
     
   • 5 Gallon food grade bucket & Lid sterilized.
     
   • 4 Gallon Sams club water bottle playing the role of carboy.
     
   • Hydrometer
     
   • Transfer hose
     
   • Water lock/ Bubbler
     
     
3. Preparation
   
   • Thaw the grape juice overnight in the fridge in a large container in case of leakage.
     
   • Sterilization/pasteurization.
     Thinking through the volume of Honey (~1 gallon) and aiming for a 4 gallon carboy; bring 1.5 gallon of water to a boil. Turn off heat, add the grape juice in order to pasteurize the juice without setting the pectin, stir in about 10-12 pounds of honey. (remove any scum that forms)
     
   • Sanitize the bucket and lid, and stirring spoon.
     
   • Stir vigorously as you add the ingredients.
     
   • add to the bucket, check the temperature and the SG - calculate remaining honey or water and add as needed. Stir till mixed, or your arm falls off - whichever comes first.
     
   • Check the temperature until it is at least down to about 80 degrees then add the yeast we're off to primary fermentation.
     
     
4. Primary fermentation.
   
   • 5 gallon sterilized bucket & lid with airlock.
     
   • Actual Original Specific Gravity (OG): 1.130 (I thought it was 1.122 but the must was still quite warm.)
     
   • I will plan on testing as fermentation tapers off and make a decision then on adding additional honey and warm water (carefully of course) in order to restart fermentation. (adjust to desired SG as needed).
     
   • Once fermentation has stopped transfer it to the secondary.
     
     
5. Secondary.
   
   • 4 gallon sams club water jug (plastic) with airlock.
     
   • Saved my honey jugs just in case I had any left over that wouldn't fit in the carboy.
     
   • Time. Lots of time.
     
     Notes:
     
     9/13/16 Initial. Retested SG, it was at 1.130.
     
     9/15/16 Sterilized a large spoon and vigerously stirred to aerate. SG at 1.074, fermentation is fast and furious.
     
     9/16/16 Aerated/degassed. 3tsp fermax. SG 1.050
     
     9/16/16 Aerated/degassed. SG 1.026
     
     9/21/16 Racking Day. SG 0.998 (ABV 18%?). Upon racking there was not quite enough in the carboy. After staring at it for twenty minutes I decided to gamble and added one gallon of water, and 5LBS of honey to bring it up to just below the base of the neck. Retesting the SG was 1.030. It is currently sitting inside a 5 gallon bucket in my bathroom, I'll transfer it to the closet as soon as I'm reasonably certain it won't go Mt. St. Helens on my wardrobe.
     
     

I use the Coleman bio wipes. They've served me well.

> without feeling like a greaseball I'd love to hear it

I carry Coleman Biowipes or similar. Currently using Trailblazer bamboo wipes that I like since they are a bit bigger, but I see Amazon not currently selling. Of course if water is plentiful then just a couple of towels will do.

I like my Helinox Chair Zero if I'm backpacking, otherwise just one of those collapsible sport chairs.

Camp shoes -- Crocs, flipflops or just a pair of slippers. Depends a bit on the terrain I'll be expecting.

Doormat for the tent if not backpacking. Helps keep things clean. Small whisk broom.

Kindle.

You're 100% in the right direction, I've been using my Extreme Q "I have two of them" for about 3 years now and you're gonna want to eventually get extras such as this, this, and definitely this and eventually one more of these. here's my new one =) peace and love from Colorado.. gotta thank Canada though, they made it.

Try going hairless and using Crystal Deodorant. It comes in several scents and is all natural so nothing in it will harm your vaginal balance. However, it is made of various salts so would probably taste horrible to anyone giving you oral. Musk is caused by a couple of things: the bacteria that lives at your hair roots and sweating. Fancy polyester briefs are not absorbent. You can't completely kill the bacteria on your vulva (and it isn't a great idea to even try), but you may be able to reduce it by scrubbing your hairless (or close trimmed) vulva with an antibacterial soap. Then pat dry and use the deodorant. Wear an absorbent panty, like one for exercising meant to wick moisture away. A couple of weeks of steady routine and you should see a difference.

Not who you asked but I buy mine off of amazon and recommend getting the pump for ease of use.
Hibiclens /
Pump

I literally just got my super hairy back waxed two weeks ago and I had the terrible acne for a week. It was so bad I couldn't sleep on my back. Use this stuff for a week or two, it works wonders.

Because it's easier to spray a piece of plastic with bleach than rinsing your eyes out with bleach solution... One leaves you still able to see and pee.

edit: Here, take a look at this antiseptic on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EV1D79A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't have the bottle in front of me, but it warns of hearing loss if it gets in your ears, blindness if it gets in your eyes, and I assume burning if it gets on your genitals.

Boiling should kill anything on your equipment, but as soon as it cools off it will be susceptible to picking up an infection from the environment. Do yourself a favor and buy a bottle of Starsan. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01467UGN8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_yw4JAbPABT8R7
Keep all your cold side equipment wet with Starsan whenever you're using it. I've never had an infection when doing this.

The chalky white film is likely mineral deposits from your water, it should rinse out easily. If you thoroughly dry your fermenters with a towel before you put them away you shouldn't get that film.

I use 99% isopropyl alcohol:
(https://smile.amazon.com/Swan-0100003-Isopropyl-Antiseptic-Solution/dp/B01ABPUGH0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1483705397&sr=8-3&keywords=99+isopropyl+alcohol)
And epsom salt:
(https://smile.amazon.com/Epsoak-Salt-Magnesium-Sulfate-Resealable/dp/B004N7FE8Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1483705454&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=epsom+salt&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&psc=1)

If you only smoke trees and not tobacco or any other additives these two things will make your glass look brand new in almost no time. I clean daily as well and to clean my whole rig only takes about 5 minutes since it's just a quick rinse with the isoproply and epsom salt, then a minute under some cool water until you cant smell the isoproply anymore. I also have this brush set dedicated for cleaning my glass:
(https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0115SLLLM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

• For containers I just use 1 pint cheap plastic containers that soups come in or deli give you. I guess you can find a nice piece of Tupperware that is about that size, and a taller one for taller prints. You could probly just ask the Deli guys at a food store for a few empty 1 pint containers + lids.
  
  
  • 2 containers - one with pure IPA and one with clean water. Good lids that won't leak.
    
    
• 91% or 99% IPA for cleaning your build plate / resin vat / scraping tools / desk / etc. and for using in the print wash container. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ABPUGH0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• More gloves: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CF49NJS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My palm width is about 3.6 inches / 9.2 cm and I bought the XL which fit ok.
  
  
• More paint strainers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HQELZ7E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• Better removal tools: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A81FXMK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• Also get some Xacto knives + extra blades + sand paper sheets in varying grit 300-400 count for smoothing off support marks. https://www.amazon.com/X-Acto-XZ3601-X-ACTO-Knife-Safety/dp/B005KRSWM6/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1527015690&sr=8-6&keywords=xacto+blade
  
  Try to find the flexible sand paper sheets that are meant to be hand-used. I found them in Loews 3m brand, this is the exact type of sheets i use: https://www.amazon.com/3M-COMPANY-28320SB-UF4-320G-Sandpaper/dp/B00PPD1CYA/ref=sr_1_7?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1527015867&sr=8-7&keywords=sandpaper+320+grit+3m
  
  
• Find a source for cheap paper towels. I use the real cheap paper towels that you find in bathrooms, the stuff that's really stiff and crappy. I don't use name brands such as Bounty or whatever because the higher quality kitchen paper towels leave behind bits of cloth dust, which is unwanted for cleaning the resin vat / build plate / LCD screen. You'll also go through shitloads of paper towels and the higher quality towels are a waste of money. https://imgur.com/7XeelfV
  
  
• Get a couple sunglasses cleaning cloths. Not the microfiber cloths with the consistency of a bathroom towel: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009L77OXE/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B009L77OXE&pd_rd_wg=OcvWJ&pd_rd_r=3AAAFBB1202BXG3K8QN0&pd_rd_w=cwumx That's just an example - you can probly finder cheaper and better sized/quality towels such as: https://www.amazon.com/MagicFiber-Microfiber-Cleaning-Cloths-PACK/dp/B0050R67U0/ref=pd_bxgy_421_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0050R67U0&pd_rd_r=PR868R09NE2DQCC8NBVQ&pd_rd_w=0uPs5&pd_rd_wg=eAMNx&psc=1&refRID=PR868R09NE2DQCC8NBVQ
  
  I use these cloths on the LCD screen and the resin vat FEP sheet. After cleaning the resin vat FEP sheet and the LCD with paper towels, I give them a nice polish with the cleaning cloth to remove any other smudges or dust. Make sure to have a cloth dedicated to ONLY the LCD screen, as you want the keep the LCD screen pristine and free of dust and smudges.
  
  You'll also want a print curing station to harden the prints once they have been cleaned. I bought:
  
  
• A plastic cookie jar; clear plastic, round: https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/oxo-good-grips-reg-3-piece-pop-canister-set/3262796?categoryId=12605
  
  
• UV LED Light Strip: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075ZQZDBR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• Heavy duty tape, such as duct tape or gorilla tape. I used black gorilla tape.
  
  
• Aluminum Foil
  
  

1. Wrap the LED strip around the plastic container to this effect: https://imgur.com/oB98Qxl . Make sure you wrap so that the power cable connector will be at the bottom of the container. Make sure you secure the beginning and the end of the LED strip to container with a piece of tape.
   
   
2. Wrap the LED'd container with aluminum foil - shiny side facing inward. Lay out a long piece of foil on the floor, shiny side facing up, just enough to cover the container's length once. Secure the beginning of the foil piece with a piece of tape, and then secure the end of the foil. Try to wrap without causing creases in the foil, keeping the foil as shiny and smooth as possible. Make sure your power cable plug in point is popping out and able to be plugged in.
   
   
3. Secure a piece of foil to the base, shiny side facing inward.
   
   
4. Secure a piece of foil to the lid, shiny side inward. Take a piece of tape and make a 2-sticky-sided loop to secure the foil. Make sure the foil is not interfering with the lid's ability to securely close.
   
   
5. Wrap the whole thing with your gorilla or duct tape. Make sure your power cable plug-in point is popping out and able to be plugged in.
   
   

Common recommendation is between 10% and 15%. Here's a how to to get that percentage with some of the more common percentage IPA's on the market: https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/2009-to-2017-how-to-articles-by-mike-phillips/31183-how-mix-ipa-inspecting-correction-results.html

Otherwise you can do what I did and get 99% IPA and dilute it somewhere between 1 to 8 and 1 to 9 or so. It's super cheap, especially considering it makes something like 15 gallons worth of diluted solution.

> my 99% doesn't but it's not as readily available

https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Brand-Isopropyl-Antiseptic-Technical/dp/B07NFSFBXQ

You can get a pretty big bottle of 99% isopropyl on amazon for $3

https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Brand-Isopropyl-Antiseptic-Technical/dp/B07NFSFBXQ/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=ox_sc_act_image_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I've never seen isopropyl alcohol above 90% at any Walmart or other big box store. But it looks like you can buy a 16 oz bottle of 99% on Amazon for $1.77. Please be formatted right! Edit: Success!

From my own experience cleaning my pieces, if you really want to get every last bit of tar out so that your pieces look store-bought new and your rips are delicious, you can't half-ass it and use 70%. It's gotta be 90%+.

Any alcohol?

It really does make a difference, i used to use 70% ISO since thats what my local convince store had, but then i found that amazon sells 99% for roughly $10 +S&H

I can totally relate because of two factors: hair and sweat.

Products like powders to keep me dry just don't work. Whenever I finish a run, especially in the summer, it looks like I just got out of the pool. I usually wring about 1/2 cup of water out of my tech shirts and 1/4 cup out of my climalite synthetic box briefs.

I use Bag Balm before and after. It lubes you up, stays put and doesn't go away, and has crazy good healing power in the mean time. A 10oz tub will last you forever, and is also great for cuts and scrapes, dry skin and chapped lips and nose in the winter time, and just about anything else.

The stuff is magic...I guarantee it.

I'll keep an eye out!

One tip I can think of, though, is the miracle that is Bag Balm. My farmer grandfather used it for his cracked skin (especially lips) and sores when he was going through chemo and I'm using it now for my lips. It's kinda gross but it definitely keeps everything soft!

Nivea face cream or Pond's cold cream (my favorite!) are great affordable options.

Besides that,

• Weleda skin food is incredibly hydrating, full of essential oils, and smells amazing. It's a cult favorite.
  
  
• Neutrogena's gel cream is naturally formulated, has a great texture, and is great for being moisturizing without being oily.
  
  
• Aveeno Active Naturals is great for balancing out combination skin- it's really light.
  
  
• People might recommend Burt's Bees but I just want to add that personally, I didn't find the price worth it- it's good for keeping acne at bay, but it's not super moisturizing and doesn't help get rid of acne already present. Of course, it might work really well for you, especially if you've got sensitive skin!
  
  
• Bag Balm was used for cow udders until people co-opted it for their dry skin. Fuckin' weird, but who cares as long as it works?
  
  
• Aquaphor is a cult favorite here in the states.
  
  
• Kiss My Face is a great option for moisturizing on the go (although idk how you feel about spray moisturizers- they scare me).
  
  A random super cheap trick is to cleanse with coconut oil. It can be a great, moisturizing cleanser, but it's not for everyone. Not a moisturizer, but if you're acne-prone these are amazing, especially right after the gym. Really helps to prevent dirt and sweat from building up. I don't know what the water is like in Denmark, but I've heard of French models using this instead of tap water.
  
  Sucks about the CeraVe- they don't tell you how frustrating and costly taking good care of your skin will be. As always, don't hesitate to go to a dermatologist (I don't know how insurance works in Denmark)- they are fantastic with recommendations (and sometimes will give you free samples!) since it's their job. Anyway, whew! Good luck & hope this helps!
  
  
  

I've tried tons of butters and lotions, but so far, Bag Balm has been the best. It smells a little bit medicinal, but it keep the nose moist for days at a time (because I'm a terrible mother and forget to put it on most of the time).

A few days after you start using it, a gross layer of hard snout will slough off, but then you're left with a soft pink snoot.

Edited to add: Bag Balm Ointment, 8 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014CI4X8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_9p4bzbW3E4PWW

I know for our cows we use bag balm to heal cuts on their utters. My grandfather said they used it on the cattle dogs to heal cuts on the pads, when we had them.

We use something called bag balm and I swear by it. My daughter had diaper rash so bad that it blistered and bled (turns out she had a citrus allergy and her iron supplements were mixed with citrus.)

Now that she's older I keep it around for lip balm, the cracks on my heels and I've even used it to soften the leather on one of my purses. The best part is that it's a huge tin and costs less than $10. It lasted us for months when we used it everyday.

91% and up.

Just so you know I found 99% Iso on amazon for quite cheap, you do have to pay more for shipping than for the actual product but the cost may be worth it for the higher purity.

clean it with Isopropyl Alcohol, 99% purity if possible

ISO is really useful for cleaning things that would otherwise rust or get damaged

$7 for 16oz of 99% know of any cheaper?

Nonsense. It's not quite as readily available in stores, but 99% is easily obtainable. Hell, Amazon even sells it.

Swan Isopropyl Alcohol, 99%, Pint, 16 OZ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B5JT8C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_gRhPybJ91CMAT


Or try a hardware store, a pharmacy, or a hobby store that sells like model airplanes and stuff.

I'm assuming you're not a chemist, because you'd have easy access to 100% isopropanol if you were, so there's no realistic way for you to purify what you have.

You can get some for 7 bucks in Amazon. Link

Also you'll need some 90% Isopropyl to clean of the existing paste


Here's a video on reapplying the paste
https://youtu.be/fRRWbQUqW1Y

HemHaw is correct. Most shit just gets corroded or shorted by residue left from the liquid spill. Alcohol will most likely fix that shit all day forever.

This is hardcore

Take it apart carefully and clean it with a q-tip and the highest percentage alcohol you can find (99% ideally)

not 100, but close enough lol

You can get it in the US as well.

I followed the guide I linked above, down to a T. So I used Wet Platinum Lubricant and 99% Isopropyl Alcohol for mixing and I mixed with a tooth pick. I mixed it all in the full sized jars that the loose eyeshadows came in and then poured it into the pan afterwards. As long as the mixture in the end isn't too watery, it's pretty easy to roll up into a ball and push out without leaving too much behind.

Ok, ready yourself for product review bombardment! Also, I thought a fun Christmas idea this year would be to give stockings to my close girlfriends with my favorite new products I've tried out this year.

Tend Skin Aftershave - I actually just recommended this product on the post asking about razor bumps. I will never go without this product again in my life. MY GOD it burns! And it smells like pure rubbing alcohol, but it delivers as promised. I've been using in conjuctions with...

Cerave Renewing SA Cream - I use this all over my body because I get crazy razor bumps AND I have keratosis pilaris (chicken skin) on top of a thyroid problem (so I get dry as the desert skin).

Aquaphor - I realize for some people this is an obvious, but I've always had chapped lips, nonstop, and this seems to be keeping them moisturized better than anything I've tried. It's also helping with my psoriasis on my elbow, when I remember to apply.

Stila Stay All Day Lipstick - I don't know who this stays all day on. I can't even make it to lunch without being lipstick-less. Do I need to set it with something?? I've tried applying different amounts to see if that changes the outcome but nope. Sadness.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation - This one I'm kind of on the fence about. I don't hate it. It hasn't broken me out. It's not oxidizing. I still have a nice enough complexion when I take it off at night. But there's just something...thick? pore-y? about it. When I look at myself close up, I see 'bad skin' instead of flawless finish that I want to see...And I don't even feel like I really have bad skin, so much as I just have dry skin.

Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration Shampoo/Conditioner - sigh. I wanted to like this. I needed it to be my holy grail shampoo/conditioner. Sadly it's not anywhere near. My hair somehow managed to feel dry and greasy at the same time after using. Only my hair could accomplish that!

Aussie Moist Conditioner - Frankly I don't know if this does anything good for my hair, but it gives it good slip and it smells AMAZING.

Tresemme Flawless Curls Mousse - I decided to give this a shot for my coarse, dry, wavy hair because I read that alcohol-free mousse helps when you have wavy hair and air dry. SIGH. My hair seems to be...frizzier on top of my head now? I don't know how this happened. The first time I applied, I did just from about my ear/shoulder level down - no good. The next time I did full hair length - no good. Next I waited just a bit so my hair was a little more air dried (not long, maybe 5 minutes longer) - no good. This product is just not for me. Also it leaves a gross residue that doesn't scrunch out.

NEXT UP, I'll be trying out Loreal Air Dry It Spray to see if I can tame the beast!

I also just ordered Joico Ironclad Heat Protectant for when I give up on the poofy beast and straighten it.

I've used Cali White Teeth Whitening Kit for two nights now, technically three, but I paused after the first night to wait for my remineralizing gel to arrive. I will review after enough time has passed to determine if it's working. I chose it because I have crazy sensitive teeth and it doesn't contain peroxide like most teeth whitening systems.

Let me know if you have any questions/want more detail about any of these products!



EDIT: I forgot about my new deodorant! I've been using Donna Karan Cashmere Mist for a few weeks now and love it! I feel so feminine wearing it instead of sharing my husband's deodorant. It works pretty well too cause I'm a sweaty, sweaty girl. It's a very firm texture compared to most solid deodorants, and the scent is sort of baby powder-ish, sort of old-lady, sort of moroccan amber (which is my new fave scent I found thru Nest home stuffs).

Your wish is my command!

I use this when I have a cold and my nose and lips get horribly chapped. I apply it heavily at night and I dab it on my nose and lips during the day when I remember.

Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Dry, Cracked and Irritated Skin Protectant, .35 Ounce (Dual Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IAG7G2/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_75LOwb44R6YMV


Good luck!

aquaphor. That ish is bananas. I like that size for my makeup bag, and the tube for my purse and the tub for home. Its good for chapstick, or dry elbows/knees/feets and sometimes I put it on my face when I hit stupid dry winter face. Never break out cuz of it.

Not sure if that counts as make up though sooooo UD 24/7 eyeliner, perversion for day/smokey, flipside/electric for going out/fun, kat von d tattoo liner, and the porefessional primer, and stila bbcream. unrelated note: I suck at decisions.

"Baby Wipes" are pre-moistened towelettes that contains just enough alcohol in them to kill bacteria, but not enough to irritate skin. This makes them ideal for use on many mild cleaning applications in addition to wiping poo from a baby's bum as is marketed.

There are other pre-moistened towelettes that have harsher chemicals such as higher concentrations of alcohol or ammonia that will do a better job cleaning (like Wet Ones or Lysol Wipes), but can irritate skin, so are generally not marketed for use on an infant's sphincter.

Well I was in a porn store looking at items. The sales clerk came over and asked if I'd like to see something. I said yes and she took it back to the front desk to put batteries in it. She pulled out hand sanitizer and said, "We ask that you use this before touching our products."

I used hand sanitizer then examined the merchandise. It wasn't what I was looking for so I gave it back. I then went back to browsing. Finally I picked something out and came back to the cashier to check out.

I asked, "Do you have the hand sanitizer Maybe You Touched Your Genitals ?

What she heard was "Do you have the hand sanitizer? I think I touched my genitals."

After some shocked looks, babbling, and explanation between use we realized the mistake. I was so embarrassed. I've never been in that store again.

Edited to include amazon- random

incredible!

Heres me.

the reason i want this phone is because this is my current phone. some of the buttons don't work like they use to. the speaker in the ear piece is blown so its pretty much an alarm clock that i can text on. I've never had a "smart phone", i have never had a phone that would even be considered an average phone. i feel like a joke when people are like look it up on your phone and i pull out a 8 year old flip phone.

I thought this was an apt name for it.

Bullshit

EDIT: Here is the company sight for said product. I wouldn't want to not give credit where credit was due.

This comes in handy.

Immediately cover the bite in hand sanitiser and repeat every 10 to 15 minutes. It probably won't work but if you do live (IF) it will make a great BBQ story with friends. Use this one for best story results: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004CPQBRA?pc_redir=1396707965&robot_redir=1

> The whole trick is being alert enough for endgame

should have brought some smelling salts

Smelling salts are great lol. Anyone who has wanted to try them can just get them on Amazon.

Dynarex Ammonia Inhalants, 33 Cc, 10 Ampules

When you don't have wet wipes on you or aren't near a bidet, you can do what I do: dip the toilet paper in the water first (flushing beforehand, obviously). I know, it sounds gross, but the toilet supposedly has fewer germs per unit area than a keyboard or toothbrush, right? It's easy and free and ubiquitous and second nature to me now. I also often deal with leaking, so I apply this cream (with a finger torn off a latex/nitrile glove as an applicator) and it helps a lot with the itching / feelings of discomfort.

Your recipe sounds like it'll turn out well if all goes according to plan! You may want to add some sweetness back if it ferments dry, but you've got several weeks to figure that out and read the Wiki to get all caught up on the method and terminology to things like back sweetening and nutrient addition schedules. I admire that you're being industrious with your fermentation equipment, I wasn't brave enough to start fermenting with whatever I had on hand with my first batch.

If you think you'll stick with it, here's the equipment I used for my first batch. I highly recommend looking into it if you think you'll do another batch! (I apologize if you aren't in the US, Amazon is my go-to)

• Hydrometer - $15.99 | You'll definitely want one of these first! It'll help you figure out when fermentation is done, plus it's nice to know your ABV when your friends or family ask "How strong is this?" (if you like to share)
  
• One Gallon Glass Carboy with Airlock, Drilled Stopper, Polyseal Lid - $14.81 | A glass carboy could last you forever! These have done very well for me, and the included airlock will give you a great setup for less than $15. The screw-on cap is just an added bonus, I use mine when I cold-crash.
  
• Star San 16 oz - $16 | This seems like the go-to sanitizer for the sub, and I use it as well. If you think you'll do several batches, I recommend going with the 32 oz size instead! It's much cheaper per ounce.
  
• Campden Tablets aka K-Meta (Potassium Metabisulfite) - $6.08 | This will help you preserve and stabilize your mead before you bottle. Some people don't, but it's highly recommended!
  
• Auto Siphon - $13.99 | This makes racking to secondary and bottling much easier! When it comes time to bottling, it's also really nice to have a Bottling Wand - $5.86
  
  All-in-all, this is just about my current setup excluding yeast, yeast nutrients, and extra carboys and airlocks. The list above comes out to about $127.45 USD before tax, which really isn't too bad considering one gallon should yield just shy of 5 standard wine bottles! Most commercial meads I've seen ranges from $15-$25 with some exceptions (There's a winery near me called Oliver Winery that makes a mead called Camelot Mead that sells for about $8 per bottle. Very good for such a cheap mead, you can probably find it at Total Wine & More if you have one nearby).
  
  ​
  
  Sorry for such a long comment! Best of luck in your mead-making adventure!
  
  Edit: If you have a local homebrew store, I would opt for that rather than Amazon. Prices may not be as cheap but you won't have to wait for shipping, you'll be able to support a local business, and employees at homebrew stores are usually really helpful and they can recommend recipes and give you pointers. Nothing beats face-to-face interaction!

Mead is VERY forgiving, far more so than beer or wine. As has been suggested, JAOM is a great "toss it in and walk away" recipe, but almost any recipe will work for a beginner, even if it's done a bit off.

Things to remember:

Don't use bleach to sanitize, it's fucking hard to get completely out, and can render a batch unusable. I prefer IO Star to Star San as it doesn't foam up when you scrub the shit out of stuff with it, and it's easier to completely rinse.

Mead needs separate nutrient, it is quite cheap on Amazon you should also add Energizer perodically (once every other day for the first week and once a week for the next month) to prevent things from getting stuck along the way. A good guide on how/when to add fruit and how to perform step feeding, which produces the tastiest results, can be found HERE.

Wine Tannin can help to make your flavors "pop" and come out more brightly, add around 3 grams to a 5 gallon batch in primary.

Also, don't let things ferment in too warm a space, the place I ferment in is a steady 69 degrees, if you let it go too warm, you might end up with weird alcohols getting created, and your brew providing a headache along with a buzz.


Lastly, if you've decide you're going to get into brewing, don't go the carboy/bucket route. For a little bit more money (like $40 more than everything else combined), you can get a MUCH better/easier and compact solution. A conical eliminates the need to rack from one container into another (has a bottom drain to suck out yeast cake) it has a side drain to bottle from (I plug this into my filter pump and bottle right from there) is MUCH more compact then separate bucket/carboy & racking canes, and is a lot easier to clean because the hole in the top is like 6 inches across, plenty big enough for a hand and a scrubby sponge as opposed to the tiny 2" opening in a carboy (which are a bitch to clean).

Also, the supplier in this link (highgravitybrew.com) doesn't charge for shipping for these conicals, it seems like everyone else who sells them does even though they're all drop shipped from the factory regardless from whom you get it.

I use Star San. It's a very popular option for sanitation.
Clean container and remove any debris, rinse with water thoroughly, spray on Star San/water mixture and let it dry.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064O7YFA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_LEszybWX7Q1CR

Buy an airlock and stopper that’ll fit whatever you’re fermenting in.

Use Starsan to sanitize.

IDK where you can get yeast but maybe an online home brew store will ship you some dry yeast.


You also will probably want to do a staggered nutrient addition or you could add raisins.

Also check out r/mead

Most people start with a gear-kit similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0179ZH89Y?keywords=northern%20brewer&qid=1449409004&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

Other thing you need is Starsan, it's a no-rinse sanitizer, you COULD use bleach, but you need at least 5 minutes contact time with bleach, and then you have to rinse the equipment which could introduce new bacteria. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0064O7YFA?keywords=star%20san&qid=1449409431&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1)

Then you need to check out your LBHS for ingredient kits/ recipes.

You don't really need too much out of the ordinary. If anything, more water than you'd usually bring. I just got back from car camping down south this past weekend and I really didn't have much of anything with me past the typical; sleep system (unless you're sleeping in your car), camp chairs (I used hammocks), camp stove or firewood depending on the fire regulations, rope/paracord, a tarp or two, duct tape and plenty of water. It's nice to have extra water (or, if you'll be nearby a water source, a filtration system and a bucket) just to wash yourself off occasionally. I also like to bring these with me to supplement tp.


I think you'll find that you don't need facilities as much as you think you might. Have fun!

You need a barrier cream - anything good for diaper rash is good for this issue. If you really have a painful irritation then you might want to consider the "Death Star" of barrier creams - Calmoseptine.

Just be aware that this stuff is tenacious and won't rub off for a couple of days.

I know because I got a freak irritation due to new underwear. It had some decorative stitching on the fly and it caused a helluofa irritation.

Fuck me! My youngest used to get really bad diaper rash, so bad that we had to go with a moisture barrier just to help it heal. This is what I used. It's not in a baby aisle, it's in the adult aisle, usually it's used in cancer patients to help with chemo burns. It will keep his bum dry while it heals and is in a diaper. Also, I'm sure you already know airing him out will help too. just remember to keep him on a LARGE blanket... my son once had a diaper rash that bad, and I let him lay on a big blanket on the floor most the day. He was about 4 months old and sprayed poo all across the floor. I if I hadn't had him on a large blanket, there would have been poop all in my carpet.

If your interested, I mixed up my own butt cream. It worked great, I'd just put it in an old icing container.

1oz of extra strength neosporin plus pain relief. (You can use any antibiotic cream, but the pain relief seemed to make a difference.)

1oz of lotrimin. (Yes the foot stuff.)

2oz hydrocortizone cream

4 oz of Desitin.

Obviously, you can sub out your preferred brand for these things, and if you want to add a little more, or have a little less of anything, try it out. This really seemed to help with itching, pain, and made it heal faster. Just put it all in a bowl with a lid and mix it well. Use just like a regular butt paste.

My guess is probably iso alcohol. Stuffs pretty cheap and can get it in 90-99% at stores for first aid stuff, heard can get it at hardware stores as well but i'd avoid that stuff as it's probably got impurities as it's for cleaning and solvent use and not medical use. $14 for 3 16oz bottles of 99% iso alcohol

I see several chlorhexidine washes on Amazon that are definitely for human use, including Hibiclens and Dyna-Hex. I don't know know if there would be any effect a tattoo (past the healing stage, anyway) but I can't think of any reason for it to affect a tattoo any more than another antibacterial soap would.

Also use this stuff after you train since you know you train in an environment with staph, its used in childrens hospitals and does kill staph:

http://www.amazon.com/Hibiclens-Antimicrobial-Liquid-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B00EV1D79A/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1416937297&sr=1-1&keywords=hibiclens

Hibiclens Antimicrobial/Antiseptic Skin Cleanser 32 Fluid Ounce Bottle for Antimicrobial Skin Cleansing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EV1D79A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PBIUCb4DSPARG



This is your body, and you only get one, so don’t cheap out and buy some weird off-brand made in Yugoslavia or something. It’s only $17 and it’ll last you a longggggg time.

Recommend you try Hibiclens.
It really helped a lot with my back. Showered twice a day with it and skin became so smooth and stopped bacteria forming.
You can buy at Walgreens as well as Amazon. Amazon appeared better value.

this is what I use with a smaller foaming lid bottle. Works wonders.

Are alcohol wipes like this acceptable, or should i just get a bottle of it, like this?

I don't know what percentage alcohol that one is and Superdrug doesn't bother to list any product information behind a basic description. I would recommend 70% for sanitizing make up. There are plenty on amazon.

you can buy a bottle from boots pretty cheaply (its also known as Surgical Spirit) and it came off in like 5-10 mins. something like this should work fine:

Sanitizing rinse, food safe

To piggy back on u/stormbeforedawn's comment.

This is the equipment I used that I've had good luck with so far. It's what he recommended, I'm just providing links to the specific product I used.

• 2 gal primary bucket
  
  
• 1 gal secondary glass
  
  
• Autosiphon
  
  
• racking cane
  
  
• Hydrometer
  
  
• Starsan
  
  
• GoFerm
  
  
• I used Fermaid O, not Fermaid K, because I was following a specific nutrient regimen. It's called TONSA 2.0. Popular, but apparently not cost efficient with larger batches. People better at this than I can answer nutrient schedule questions.
  
  
• Bubbler/Airlock.
  
  
• Bottles and cap method are your preferance. You can get bottles of tons of shapes, colors and styles. Corked, capped, swingtop, etc. Just make sure the bottles are food-safe and not decorative hobby/thrift store stuff. If you use corks, same rule, don't use decorative stuff. You'll want #8 agglomerated cork and a hand corker tool to put the corks on. #9 corks work too, but you'll need heavy tools (like a floor corker) to do that..

Oh yes, and it is quite simple to get the stuff together without buying a kit. Do you have a local home brew store?

This subreddit's wiki which includes a beginner section: https://www.reddit.com/r/Homebrewing/wiki/index
There are several videos on youtube that have good instructions.

Here is a basic list of gear to brew beer in a bag. You can get all of this stuff on amazon if you don't have it already. This is not the best list, but it works.
http://homebrewmanual.com/home-brewing-equipment/


Some of the stuff you won't likely have at home:

• Starsan: http://amzn.com/B01467UGN8
  
  
• Hydrometer: http://amzn.com/B013S1VAM4
  
  
• Grain bag for Brew in a Bag: http://amzn.com/B00CA5PH4W
  
  
• Bottle Capper: http://amzn.com/B001D6KGTK
  
  
• siphon: http://amzn.com/B0064ODELI
  
  
• airlock: http://amzn.com/B00A6TRKO4
  
  
• bottle caps: http://amzn.com/B000Q64T8M
  
  Beer recipes: http://beerrecipes.org/
  
  To get grains from amazon, type in the grain type and it will provide you options. If you don't have the ability to mill it yourself, you can order it crushed. Its not ideal, but if you don't have a homebrew store near you and don't have your own mill....it will work. You will have to measure out the correct amounts for each grain that you add on your own from the bulk that you ordered. If you want to brew with extracts, you can also order those on amazon as well.
  
  You can order hops on amazon the same way as grains or extracts.
  
  
  

I recommend the healing ointment. It's similar to vaseline, but less heavy and has ceramides in it. I use it both for daytime wear (mix a little in with last moisturizer before sunblock), and at night time with my sleeping pack.

I'm a side sleeper as well so I understand what you're talking about. Don't worry about it too much. You'll still have all your goodies sealed in from the night before, and your pillowcase won't be a greasefest. When I rinse my face in the morning it still has a nice moisturized softness to it

Personally, I love using the CeraVe Healing Ointment at night to help recover at night. I try to take great care of my lips, and I haven't found anything I like more than the ointment. It is also cool because I apply it on my hands and I feel my hands love it.

Always recommend the cera ve SA renewal cleanser. It’s amazing and events your skin and brightens it. I actually use the SA renewal body wash, you get a lot and I can use it on my face as well. The Cera Ve SA body lotion is also love, sometimes I use it on my face. Makes body super smooth, these two are dream team.

I think the dream routine:

Am:

• cera ve SA acid cleanser
  
• Son&Parks Beauty Water Toner
  
• niod multi-molecular HA serum 15 types of HA.
  
• stratias liquid gold
  
• shishoedo mineral uv gel SPF50++++
  
  Pm:
  
• Sunday Riley Blue moon cleansing balm Blue Tansy for redness OR if you like oils, KOSE softymo SPEEDY cleansing oil
  
• cera ve SA cleanser with Clarisonic
  
• biologique Recherche pm400 or regular p50 toner or cheaper alternative tarte knockout tingle treatment
  
• niode HA serum
  -melazepam 20% important and alternate between this and Retin a, but not everyone can handle either of these. But it goes to say these are anti-aging power horses
  
• Holy Snails Sauce Di Mois in Hangbang/spooky shark or whatever works for you.
  
• an oil, Squalene, seabuckthorn, rosehip, jojoba, rotate what works.
  
• an occlusive, like embroliysse concentrated lait creme , cera ve healing ointment , skinfix 12 hour miracle ointment All of these are better than basic Vaseline or squalor.
  
  Great products:
  
  
• to 10% lactic acid in spheres
  
• skinceutics vitamin c in feurlic acid (super $, results worthy).
  
• timeless vit c serum (affordable)
  
• to 30% bha peel
  
• avene Blue Tansy Oil (knockoff of lapis Blue Tansy Oil for $12 vs $72) helps redness/moisturizes
  
• dr. Jart cicapair serum for redness
  
• Dr. Jart ceramidin serum plus the cream (use together for best results on rebuilding skin barrier if using actives).
  
• hada labo HA lotion/milky lotion or Hada Labo premium HA lotion (more moisture, not great for warmer months).
  Benton snail bee essence (the masks, steam pacts, everything..)
  
• peter Thomas Roth pumpkin enzyme mask (great chemical exfoliating and physical exfoliate mask that works)
  
• niod flavonne mud mask (super detoxing good for congested skin)
  
• kanebo soap powder (good ph, enzyme powered soap powder)
  
• aquaring ampoule mask (good ab face mask)
  
• Paula’s choice bha liquid
  
• cosrx bha blackhead liquid
  
• cosrx aha whitehead liquid
  
  Just a few products to think about. I am by no way saying jump and add any of these to your routine instantly. I’ve looked around and found a lot of, what I’d consider to be talked about products and decided to make it easier and list them for you.
  
  
  I think a basic SA cleanser like cera ve would be a good place to start, a good spf that is non-irritating. Find a moisturizing Oil thst your skin likes and then maybe start trying actives. Don’t go jumping in until you find a routine that calms your skin and that your skin really likes. Then start testing the waters with maybe azelic acid like melazepem (strongest you can get in us is on amazon) or vitamin c. Possible acid peel pads. We kind of have to know your skin type and current routine. Things that have worked and have not, and what you want out of a new skin routine— in order to give you better direction.

Even better: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ABPUGH0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_p4PszbKAQYTBV

No reason it should be that expensive. Here it is for about 20 cents an ounce.

If you don't want to use iso, PBW is a cheap alternative that is environmentally friendly and requires much less shaking.

One pound lasts me about 6 months. Here is an 8 pound container.

Yep, just Amazon, actually. (hope I'm allowed to post amazon links)

https://smile.amazon.com/Amazon-Brand-Isopropyl-Antiseptic-Technical/dp/B07NFSFBXQ

I got mine through Amazon (currently $256 US).

There are some additional costs to be aware of though.

1. Resin (~$40): I'm using Elegoo Grey
   
2. 99% IPA (~$3) For cleaning prints
   
3. UV Light (~$30) for curing
   
4. Gloves (~$10) It comes with some, but you'll be replacing those quickly
   
5. Ventilation (~$100) depending on where you're printing.
   
   It can add up if you're not careful. So plan for an additional $200.

As a side note, you can try using isopropyl alcohol or Goo Gone to get the paint off your controllers.

Oil based primer and paint have oil in them, and they will not be rendered ineffective by trace amounts of dry mineral spirits. In my professional humble opinion. If you insist on cleaning, I suggest a vigorous wipe with this available everywhere product. https://www.amazon.com/Isopropyl-Alcohol-Solution-16-Ounce/dp/B000P158X8/ref=sr_1_2?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1472915413&sr=1-2&keywords=isopropyl+alcohol

Costco has 90 in the pharmacy. Think you gotta mail order 99. And probably get put on some sort of watch list.

Yes, online.

Best thing to do is reapply it. Get some Artic Silver 5 and a coffee filter and Some [99%] Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the old thermal paste off with and re apply the cooler.

At which point it's not a bad idea to get an aftermarket cooler to have temps even lower and possible OC in the future [assuming you have a Z97 [or possible a quality Z87] mobo]

With a stock cooler I'd expect idle temps with stock settings for a 4790k to be in the 40Cs area with room temp in the mid 20s and with an aftermarket cooler [witch do in most cases, including this one I recommend come with it's own thermal paste which you can use instead] around low to mid 30s.

This is a really cool contest! Thanks for hosting. My confused epidermis would like to be able to say bye zits.

My most recently discovered game changer is Bag Balm. I wrote a rave over in /r/SkincareAddiction about how wonderful this stuff is for dry lips, but I've since found a bunch of other uses for it.

It helps heal cuts and popped zits and made my lips go from cracked and bleeding to soft and smooth in a few days. When my skin is really dry I slather it on top of my moisturizer at night for an extra kick. This week I have a terrible cold and my nose is chapped and dry and gross from over-blowing, and this stuff keeps it from hurting. It also softens elbows and feet. It's a miracle in a tin, seriously. I bet almost everyone could find at least one use for it.

Udder cream or Bag Balm both sold at CVS. Also, O'Keeffes Working Hands available at Walmart.

I know I'm late to the party, but anyway... I always recommend Bag-Balm. I used to work at a rescue shelter, and we used this [to great effect] on dry/cracked/scarred noses and paw pads. It works well on collar sores and light scrapes, too.

Hi, I'm Kat! I really enjoy gardening and dark humor and cartoons. Once I won a writing contest in elementary school that they turned in to a play!

I would really like to try this balm. I have extremely sensitive hands that like to turn red and crack and peel all of the time. It's like rosacea, but only on my hands. Sometimes they get so bad it makes them achey just when I wash them. I have heard this balm works wonders and lasts quite a while. Happy hands would make me very happy!

If you are concerned about this, why don't you moisturize your hands? This is not an unfixable situation. Have you tried bag balm? It's very manly.

Amazon.

Ever heard of bag balm? It was created to keep cow udders soft. Works wonders on humans, too :) I put this on at night in the winter. You can try during the day but it is goopy and comes off easily. Other than that, I moisturize the ever-living hell out of hands. Ever time I wash my hands I apply lotion.

Here's a link to buying it from Amazon. I grab it at a farm store like Tractor Supply. It's legitimately for cows and animals.

Something like this or this? My doctor actually mentioned "udder cream" but I didn't really know what to look for.

And yes, I know mupirocin is an antibiotic. I'm just wondering how that differs from the other one - and why the prescription is only for 2%. Is it harmful to have it more concentrated?

Internet magic!

Bag balm.

I used monkey hands for a while and loved it, but it is pricey
(about $20 for 2 oz.).

I started making my own stuff with lanolin, but bag balm is essentially lanolin with some antiseptics in it, and it is SUPER cheap ($12 for 10 oz.).

Lanolin works great for repairing and healing cracked and dry skin, and it softens the calluses without making them disappear, so the calluses still protect your hands, they just don't tend to rip off.

Bag Balm is good for cracked skin.

I've had this happen in dryer climates, but never in humid places. Do you live in a dry area?

I am a trumpet player at a major at a conservatory in New England. My fellow colleagues and I are always fighting dry/chapped lips in this weather and while I personally use DCT a ton of my friends use Bag Balm. They say once right before bed takes care of them all day. I only use DCT because I like having something to do with my hands and I enjoy reapplying during the day.

Here's a link to the Bag Balm.

http://www.amazon.com/Bag-Balm-Vermonts-Original-Moisturizing-Softening/dp/B0014CI4X8

Have you tried with O'Keeffe's Working Hands cream? Or maybe with Bag balm ointment?

The trick too could be to moisturize your hands religiously, you could carry with you a little travel hand cream and moisturize often, not only after the shower.

Bag balm was originally formulated to keep cow udders from chafing from milking. It's awwwwwesome nipple moisturizer. Love, a large-chested farm girl.

Bag Balm

Less is more, and it's really greasy - think Vaseline. I'd recommend applying a touch to your cheeks (and any crows feet, because why not?) every evening before bed. Let it soak in and do it's magic over night. It plumps out little lines and wrinkles so I'm thinking that it'll help your ventilator marks dissipate more quickly. It also helps heal dry cracked skin.

You can get 70 at any local drug store, grocery store, walmart, basically anywhere. 99 is the only one I have to get on amazon.

eek. At least we haven't had the isopropyl scare for meth, but hope you don't need any over the counter asthma aids... can you'll be wheezing all the way to the doc in the US. Thanks, I was legit curious!

From looking at the link, looks like it's meant for cleaning cuts/scrapes (which still seems like scented would be bad but that's just cause I'm allergic, I guess some would like it).

I get stuff like (just a super quick amazon search... in grocery stores it's usually less than $1 US): https://www.amazon.com/Swan-Isopropyl-Alcohol-99%25-Pint/dp/B001B5JT8C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468054106&sr=8-1&keywords=100+percent+isopropyl+alcohol

Thanks!

probably. you're looking for isopropyl alcohol 99%

http://www.amazon.com/Swan-Isopropyl-Alcohol-99-Pint/dp/B001B5JT8C

Definitely available on Amazon, if you can't find it locally.

Uhh I just get it at the grocery store its on amazon though if that helps or doesn't? I've never used anything else to compare it to. Its works well for me and I just use like regular salt in a ziplock baggy for bowls/pipes. Hasn't done me wrong yet.

You can't get 100% because distilling ethanol and water can't get below 99%. You need to add benzene and once distilled it needs to be kept in an air free container or stored below -20C. Manufacturers won't go through that effort outside of a specific demand.

Well I just found it on amazon. 99% But I don't know what stores.

http://www.amazon.com/VI-JON-CUMBERLAND-SWAN-ALCOHOL-ISOPROPYL/dp/B001B5JT8C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301262097&sr=8-1

It's definitely not ideal. It might work in a pinch, but depending on what it's made of, and the additives, it may do more harm than good. That said, I've cleaned contacts with vodka before, so you never really know.

What you really want is this. It's $6.50 with prime shipping included, and the exact right product.

https://www.amazon.com/Swan-Isopropyl-Alcohol-99-Pint/dp/B001B5JT8C?th=1

Here's some 99% for your side of the Atlantic.

Not many places (in my experience) have higher than 95% in stock, but you can get it on Amazon if nowhere near you carries it, or if you are too lazy to call around and go get it.

99% iso is best if you can get it. Amazon sells it for pretty cheap here for future reference haha

That's not even a good deal, or am I missing something? If you are using it to clean pipes or make hash 99% is so much better. Only like $6.50 on amazon.

Isopropyl Alcohol, its pure alchol with a bitterant to make it taste even worse just in case its swallowed.

Used for sterilizing wounds and in our case, cleaning electronics as its a very poor conductor of electricity and evaporates entirely. leaving no residue behind.

You can find it at almost every drug store, grocery store, or major retailer.

Yep, you can find isopropyl alcohol easily online or at any drug store. You don't need any special brand or something:

http://www.amazon.com/Swan-Isopropyl-Alcohol-99%25-Pint/dp/B001B5JT8C/

• Any 90+% Isopropyl alcohol , I use this personally : http://www.amazon.com/Swan-Isopropyl-Alcohol-99%25-Pint/dp/B001B5JT8C/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1451798120&sr=8-1&keywords=99+isopropyl+alcohol
  
• A soft piece of cloth or any thick paper (nor tissue paper - they tear off and get stuck on edges, nor newspaper - same reason).
  Some use sponge pieces too but its OK, anything around you will do as long as it don't leave any residue on socket.
  
• For Installation , follow this guide : https://youtu.be/SST61g3hnIs
  
  Hope this helps,
  
  Kudos ;)

99% or nothing

Isopropyl alcohol

heres an Amazon link however, it is MUCH cheaper to purchase from any pharmacy or grocery store. It's in the first aid section

dunno tbh i never bothered cuz i didn't want breathe in/deal with whatever else was in it and i found pure 99% isopropyl and food-grade lanolin oil.

Isopropyl alcohol - amazon $6.63 per pint.

If there are any local paint stores that cater to professional painters (structures, not art) , they might carry iso in larger containers at a lower price.

You may also look for tape head cleaning fluid at radioshack. It's anhydrous isopropyl alcohol last I checked.

99% isopropyl is $7/pint on amazon in the US: http://smile.amazon.com/Swan-Isopropyl-Alcohol-99-Pint/dp/B001B5JT8C?sa-no-redirect=1

Here is the mobile version of your link

I think you may have used the wrong ISO Heet. IIRC the red one has additives in it for diesel engines. You need pretty much just pure Isopropyl alcohol.

91% is typically sold at Rite Aid and CVS (these store are in the Northeast US)

I purchase 99% to clean my glass off of Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B5JT8C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3KB7XYG03LIW1

I found this instead which is cheaper but only 99%, will that work just as well?

Try Aquaphor Healing Ointment

I had the same problem and tried many lip balms, and none worked well. The “natural” lip balms like Burts Bees were especially bad. I live in a super dry desert climate and Aquaphor Healing Ointment is the only lip balm that’s actually made a difference. It works noticeably better than plain Vaseline(petroleum jelly).

I actually had my thyroid tested about a month or so ago, and it tested within normal range. I wouldn't say my lips are severe, when I get a crack, it's really only one and only if I don't use any chapstick over night or all day.

Is this the aquaphor you're talking about?

It's okay that you couldn't give recommendations on the ones I listed, I actually saw a post about aquaphor, I just forgot that I did lol. The aquaphor is definitely in a more convenient bottle/tube than the lanolin though!

Aquaphor is a version of petroleum jelly/Vaseline (for whatever reason, I find it to be way more awesome than any other similar product).


And yep - looks like you can buy it in the UK!


-Amazon UK - 50g

-Amazon UK - on the go pack



(There's also a 99g/3.5oz tub, but I find it to be too big. Plus you have to put your finger in it, which is unsanitary. The tubes that I suggest allow you to squeeze the aquaphor out directly onto your finger, without 'contaminating' the rest of it!)


Good luck!!




Edit: Formatting

>On several days in August 2002, the individuals damaged 12 construction vehicles at a construction site in Goochland, Virginia, by pouring sugar into the gas tanks. The individuals also vandalized two homes under construction in the area, writing the word “sprawl” on one of the homes.

>On August 22, 2003, individuals associated with the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) carried out acts of vandalism in the Los Angeles, California, area, damaging roughly 125 vehicles and one commercial building. Much of the damage was caused by spray-painted graffiti, although in two cases, individuals set fire to sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Some of the graffiti associated SUVs with “terrorism.” On April 18, 2005, William Jensen Cottrell was sentenced to eight years and four months in federal prison and fined $3.5 million for the incident. Two other suspects in the attack—Tyler Johnson and Michie Oe—remained at large at the end of 2005.

We're so fucking soft we're equating graffiti as being as extreme as cutting someones head off with a fucking butter knife? These stats are a fucking joke. I'm not scared of graffiti; I'm scared of getting blown up in an airport/subway/concert/etc by some prick who spent all his energy and time on learning how to make a bomb with the intentions of killing people and descending to the heavens to his 40 fucking virgins.

IMO this list is bullshit. The FBI has broadened their definition of terrorism to support their own agenda. When you say the word "terrorism" most people don't think of some schmucks pouring sugar in the gas tanks of construction vehicles; they think of a group of individuals who would strap bombs to said gas tanks with the intentions of killing PEOPLE. Many of the items listed on that list are categorized as "domestic terrorism" and should not be included in the stats.

here's the global terrorism index for 2015 http://simonateba.com/2015/11/22/full-report-2015-global-terrorism-index-how-bokoharam-fulani-militants-increased-terror-in-nigeria-by-300-percent/

Most of the terror is happening in Islamic countries. 78% of deaths happened in 5 Islamic countries and boko haram and ISIL are responsible for 58% of the attacks. As far as I'm concerned, just because boko haram and ISIL are not in the US doesn't mean they aren't a threat.

Here, you can use these to wipe the shit off yourself.

But the gel doesn't really clean does it? Seems like some disposable hand wipes might be a better choice if you want to clean up your hands from the dust.

I just ordered the bulk of my stuff off of Amazon today!

What are you going for there? :)

If you have open skin and/or an active infection, see if you can ask your primary care physician for silvadene cream (silver sulfadiazene). We use it on bedbound patients who get moisture-related skin breakdown from incontinence and that stuff is like magic. We also used the following, just kind of depending on preference of the patient and/or the care provider:

• Coloplast
  
• Calmoseptine
  
• Calazime
  
  And hydrocortisone is your friend, so much love for the lowly hydrocortisone <3

Try to find some Calmoseptine. It will help with the "rawness". It has menthol in it, so a little goes a long way.

I have Crohn's and have had 2 setons in place for 6 months while I wait for Remicade to hopefully shrink my fistulas. I can't comment on the constipation issue as I didn't have that problem but I'll share this...

Setons are challenging to your peace of mind, hygiene, and health. You have digestive acids and fecal particles slowly draining onto your skin and that can lead to skin irritation. Additionally, the seton material can cause friction pain in your butt cheeks if you walk vigorously or walk a lot. I find that talking wide strides or stretching my legs in any way causes the setons to pull on the skin that it goes through which also causes pain. Lastly, and perhaps most significantly, the setons make it very difficult to wipe effectively after a bowel movement because they can interfere with wiping motion while using toilet paper.

Given all that here are some recommendations:

1. Buy a bidet. Having fecal matter stuck in your butt because you couldn't wipe well smells terrible, feels gross, and can lead to infection. I've put some links at the bottom of this message for affordable bidets you can install on your toilet or a portable bidet to use on the go. The stream of water will clean you very well after a bowel movement and then just use TP to pat yourself dry. If you have a removable shower head you can use that to wash yourself after a bowel movement if you don't want to install a bidet. I highly recommend the portable bidet. I take mine with me whenever I'm away from home and can carry it discretely in a small tote bag. If I need to move my bowels I can still clean myself properly.
   
   
2. Take long baths daily. Your doctor probably recommended a sitz bath a few times per day for 15 minutes but I found that minimally helpful. I found true relief in soaking in a hot tub morning and night each day for as long as my schedule would allow. While in the tub palpate and press gently on any remaining abcesses to help them drain. I'd read in the tub, browse Reddit, watch Netflix, etc. often spending 90 minutes in a hot/warm bath because it felt so good.
   
   
3. Carry protective pads. Some people like large gauze pads. I found it easier to use panty liners. Your drainage will smell and stain your clothes off you don't protect them. I through 2-3 pads per day now but was definitely more when my drainage was heavier. I keep a few in the portable bidet tote bag in case I need a fresh pad while I'm away from home.
   
   
4. Be careful about the ibuprofen use - and get a colonoscopy. When I came down with abcesses and they found my fistulas my colorectal surgeon didn't think I had Crohn's because I didn't have a lot of common symptoms. It wasn't until we did a colonoscopy a few months after the seton placement that I learned that I actually do have Crohn's. NSAID's aggravate Crohn's so it might be prudent to switch to Tylenol until Crohn's is ruled out in your case.
   
   
5. Calmoseptine Ointment. It's such a great barrier in protecting your skin from moisture irritation. It's like diaper cream with super powers. But if you find yourself without Calmoseptine diaper cream is better than nothing.
   
   
6. You may need to choose different exercises for now. As I wrote above, the setons limit my range of motion and cause friction between my butt cheeks so running is an absolute no no. I've even had to modify my walking gait whereby I have shortened my student considerably and walk at a slower pace.
   
   I'm sorry to dump all this on you. It's an overwhelming time and throwing all this info at you may just make you feel more overwhelmed. But I hope that you'll come to find this information helpful and that it helps you maintain your dignity and sanity as you wait for the fistulas to heal.

The carboy you are looking at was the first one I had ever purchased, the airlock and stopper work great for 1gal batches. definitely recommend.

I use the Red Star yeast for my batches and it works well, might switch to a more specific yeast later, but for just starting out it works well. If used sparingly, you can make up to 55 1gal batches with the amount of yeast you are buying.

As for the sanitizer, you'll find most people use Star San because of how homebrewing-friendly it can be, but its really up to you. Just make sure your equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before brewing.

Lets start at FG and OG which stands for final and original gravity. Original gravity is the density of the apple juice before you add anything to it(so basically open the apple juice and take the OG). The final gravity is the density after fermentation has completed. To measure OG and FG you will need a hydrometer or spectrometer. Hydrometers are really cheap and everyone starts out with this.

To take the OG siphon(you will probably want to get an auto siphon also not very expensive) of enough water juice into a plastic cylinder(like a graduated cylinder but with no precision marks and drop the hydrometer into the fluid. Then you simply read the marks on the hydrometer and that will be the OG. To get FG you just do this after fermentation. To determine when fermentation has stopped you getting taking hydrometer readings 1-2 days apart when the reading from one to the next are the same, fermentation is no longer active. Make sure you sanatize everything that will come in contact with the apple juice....hydrometer, cylinder, siphon, air locks, keeping the apple juice free of any living thing that is not yeast is a key to success here. If you do not have the OG and FG you will have a much harder time figuring out the ABV(alcohol by volume)

What is a cold crash. Exactly, you just bring down the temp to a serving temp. Simply put for the cold crash you need to keep the airlock on the glass jar and stick it in a regular fridge for 3 days time.

One other thing to mention. Cider yeast will want to ferment in the 60-75F degree range. Its best to get it between 62-68F however that's not always possible but it absolutely will produce some off flavors if you allow it to get above 75F degrees. The temp of the juice fermenting will be about 5 degree warmer than the ambient room temp because fermentation is an exothermic reaction(it gives off heat). Don't be scared at all, if you really want just ferment the apple juice at whatever room temp with just sugar yeast and juice. It will produce a drinkable alcoholic beverage. If you want to get further in an refine the hobby and make some honest to god delicious cider follow my steps. However I want you to know my first time brewing anything was a cider. I simply used wine yeast and apple juice. I used a condom as a fermentation lock and by god college kids drank every ounce of this brew that taste like a bready cideryish wierd thing. However it was awesome and I had a blast doing it.

If you're really concerned about bacteria, wash thoroughly with hot soapy water, then sanitize with a brewing sanitizer like Star San then rinse/dry.

Vinegar is partially effective - it has been shown to kill off ~90% of microbes in a laboratory setting, but it's not as effective as substances that are made specifically for sanitizing, like StarSan, Saniclean (which requires a rinse afterward), or Iodophor.

Good for sanitizing

It's an organic acid used for sanitizing brewing equipment. Go for a light mix with water in a spray bottle and you should be fine after one or two applications. I just wiped out an aphid infestation on my pear tree with it.

Being a homebrewer, I recommend a soak in Oxyclean/PBW and then some Starsan for good measure.

I think sanitary welding refers to TIG. I know that is what is used in professional breweries.

Also, PBW to clean

As pretty much everyone else here has said, flush it with plenty of warm water.

I'm partial to doing a final rinse of both cumtubes and toys with diluted StarSan (a no rinse commercial disinfectant). Just be sure to make sure and rinse it again before using it again.

> The actual biodegradable ones are meant to biodegrade over a long time period on a landfill.

Are you certain of that? http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-2000014871-Biowipes-30-Count/dp/B008DCWTYC They claim these biodegrade in 21-30 days and are meant to do so in a cathole.

Coleman makes a wet wipe that biodegrades 100% in 7-10 days.

EDIT: Sorry, 21 days.

It's our go-to as well. You can get it on Amazon for less.

I live in the Caribbean, Trinidad. so you are saying that this item on Amazon will not do the job in reducing sphincter spasm? BTW does very warm sitz bath reduce Sphincter spasm?

99% or bust.

If you want also, you can order 99% iso from Amazon (so even less water): http://www.amazon.com/99%25-Isopropyl-Alcohol-Antiseptic-Solution/dp/B00BWYNIDO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1420267310&sr=8-2&keywords=isopropyl+alcohol

Here is an example of 99% IPA and here is some 70%. These are the first 2 I found looking on Amazon and they have similar packaging. The 70% costs $1 more but has 4x as many bottles. 99% is better, but not four times better. There are some circumstances where you might need to clean quickly or something, and you might be able to find a better price for the 99% somewhere, but in almost every situation I think the 70% is the more frugal purchase.

Personally I am going to try and avoid parts for his build because of not knowing exactly what he has.

You could get him zip ties, velcro strips, tool kit (just search computer tool kit on amazon), usb drive, DAC/AMP, nice router, custom mouse pad, nice pair of head phones, power supply tester, Electricity Usage Monitor, Electric Duster, Microfiber Cleaning Cloths, 99% Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol),... I could keep on going but I think you get the idea. Hopefully when you post your build I'll come back to edit my comment.

2 oz lanolin in a 16 oz bottle then fill with alcohol.

Put 25 cases in a ziploc with 3 squirts and shake.

Could always resort to this stuff if you had to, but it's probably overkill. It's the soap they give you to wash up with the night before a surgical procedure.

I traditionally use Hibiclens Antimicrobial skin cleaner that is a Chlorhexidine Gluconate Solution 4.0% when I come into contact with something that is really dirty or that is likely bacteria-ridden (really dirty house work/yard work/bathroom cleaning, etc). Recently I saw that there are Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2% solutions on Amazon for much cheaper than the Hibiclens, but it says it is only for horses and dogs.

​

Is it possible to use the 2% solutions without skin irritation? Why are they just listed as for horses and dogs?

Hibiclens.

try hibiclens. It's pretty rad. http://www.amazon.com/Hibiclens-Antimicrobial-Liquid-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B00EV1D79A

I'd use Vashe for dirty wounds, especially those with odor. Vashe does not hurt, does not harm healing tissue, but kills pathogens very effectively without contributing to antimicrobial resistance.

Also, if the wound looks pink/red and clean - cleansing with normal saline or wound wash is fine and actually the preferred method.

For dirty feet or other general areas that you want to cleanse well but also have open wounds, consider a chlorhexidine soap. it provides prolonged antimicrobial activity and when diluted with water doesn't irritate wounds. All of these products are used in wound clinics.

Here's Vashe for sale on Amazon.

Thank you so much for your help

I just buy a box of these https://www.amazon.com/Covidien-5750-Curity-Alcohol-Sterile/dp/B00KJ6U8NE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1484183023&sr=8-2&keywords=alcohol%2Bwipes&th=1 seems to work well. Also being single use its less messy

Not sure if this is the 'PDF' you speak of, but best place is here: http://manual.prusa3d.com/c/Original_Prusa_i3_MK2_kit_assembly because you get high resolution images and can read comments against each step that other builders have made during their builds. Lots of good hints & tips there, plus a video from Joseph about calibration.

Edit: Buy one of these for bed-removal of objects: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VB1U886/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And a pack of these to clean your bed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KJ6U8NE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I did it vaginally for a month. I used some alcohol wipes I got off Amazon to sterilize it after each use. I just put it in. I wouldn't imagine discharge of any sort should affect your temps. Mine didn't mention vaginal but worked fine for that. FF doesn't care too terribly much between one cycle and the next.

My biggest issue with vaginal temping was the beeping. I don't hear it if it's under the covers and I'm very prone to dozing off while I'm waiting for the temp. The beeping wakes me up again. Maybe if I had a quick read thermometer it wouldn't be such a big deal, but oral temping works better for me. Maybe the temps are a little less consistent, but I still see patterns so whatevs.

I bought a box of these from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KJ6U8NE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1453921265&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=alcohol+swabs&dpPl=1&dpID=419UahD1ShL&ref=plSrch

Star San. But I agree with u/robotir, that stone looks very brittle. Also, most things found at Goodwill are used. If this is indeed a used item then it was used as a decoration and perhaps not meant to used for food preparation.

I haven't used it in 2 days because the redness and peeling is SO bad. It looks like I have 3rd degree burns all over my face. No natural skin color left whatsoever :(

I'll try some Aquaphor. It looks similar to this, that I've been using:
https://www.amazon.com/CeraVe-Healing-Ointment-5-Ounce/dp/B016F3MESG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Basically this, /u/BeeFact.

I use this pumice after deadlifting and benching days. In addition to that, I use CeraVe's hand cream probably once a day or so.

If my callouses get really messed up (which they don't anymore from using the above steps), I would apply CeraVe's healing ointment after a thorough pumice session before bed.

Also, you should wash your hands immediately after your workout to remove any chalk from your hands. Donny Shankle has a hand care video that echoes what I said above.

[MOISTURIZER HELP] Hi! Also a longtime lurker first time poster! I need some helps with dry flaky skin, particularly around my nose and under my eyes.

Moisturizers I Have

I currently have the cerave tub, but it stings when I put it on at night after the tret. I also have TO HA 2% serum, TO Niacinimide 10% serum, TO natural moisturizing factors +HA lotion, Eucerin Advance Therapy clear ointment (thick occlusive) and I really just don't know what to use to get enough moisture for all day. I've found that adding the TO HA serum just 'rolls' off into jelly bits into my hands if I touch my face or put makeup on it (the makeup or eyebrow pencil just rolls it off, it's very unattractive haha).

​

Moisturizers I'm Interested In Trying

I was thinking about which of the below to get and how to incorporate them into my routine! (i have bothersome sebaceous filaments by my nose and no real acne problems). If you have tips for the small black dots near my nasal folds too that would be great :)

- TO Squalene / Hemi Squalene / Fruit Oil (favorites?)

- Hadalabo Moisture Plumping

- DR Jart Cream - seems a bit expensive

- Hadalabo Premium Hyaluronic Solution - could I just use my TO HA Serum differently instead of buying this. or would this solve the makeup issue. I don't wear foundation but just under eye concealer and eyebrow pencil

- Stratia Liquid Gold

- Eucerin Urea Repair Cream 5%

- Cerave Healing Ointment - better that the Eucerin Advance Therapy clear ointment (thick occlusive) I already have?

​

What do you all think? Which is worth getting? Please let me know which new products you guys have discovered and solved your flaky skin (and in which order to use AM and PM)? I would so so appreciate it :)

Unfortunately I won't be close to your area.....

Otherwise I would take your up immidiately.

Think imma just order the 12 pack that $40 on amazon at the moment (never seen a deal this good on 99% SWAN brand too https://www.amazon.com/Swan-0100003-Isopropyl-Antiseptic-Solution/dp/B01ABPUGH0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1499970467&sr=8-2&keywords=99%25+isopropyl

Post #2:

Preparation:

getting the supplies

Agar agar powder. [US](https://www.amazon.com/Telephone-Product-Thailand-Powder-Ounce/dp/B01KMHY2OU/) [Europe](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Special-Ingredients-Premium-Gelatine-European/dp/B00EZMPMNE)

Always start with agar! And don't throw old fully colonized plates out. Some contaminants (e.g. mycogone, AKA wet bubble disease will only show up after full colonization (white blobs oozing yellow/orange fluid). and that one (mycogone) will fck up your grow hard, been there done that...

Light malt extract. [US](https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Light-Dried-Malt-Extract/dp/B007XYGBXQ/) [Europe](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Balliihoo-Light-Spraymalt-1Kg-Bag/dp/B0153BASSY/)

Containers for no pour agar (Pasty Plates). [US](https://www.amazon.com/Glad-Food-Storage-Containers-Round/dp/B000WGBMMM/) [Europe](https://www.flaschenbauer.de/einmachglaeser/sturzglaeser/sturzglas-225-ml-to-82) (maybe use Google translate on that site). Also if you are in North America there are Glad mini rounds, they are used in the original Pasty Plate tek. They also have [430ml jars](https://www.flaschenbauer.de/einmachglaeser/sturzglaeser/sturzglas-430-ml-to-82) suitable as substrate containers

A pressure cooker. Good ones are a b**ch to find in Europe. I wouldn't buy [that one](https://www.ebay.de/itm/Pressure-cooker-17L-Stainless-steel-Made-In-Turkey-Largest-Size/133128864948) or similar constructed ones, they are complete s**t, build up next to no pressure and need ungodly amounts of water. I have two of them, but had to do some haphazard MacGyveresqe hacking to get them to sterilize properly, I'll bring that up later.

I also have a Fagor Alu 22 (22 liters, fits eleven quart bottles), but I think that model went out of production in 2017 without a replacement. IMHO the only sane option in Europe right now, would be to order a Presto from the US, they're ~80€ + 40€ shipping, so not that bad. [Presto 23 quart PC](https://www.amazon.com/Presto-Aluminum-23-Quart-Pressure-Canner/dp/B073NCFL2L/)

Also on US websites like shroomery, you'll always read something like "sterilize 90min @ 15 psi". Pressure cookers in Europe usually have no gauges and only go to 50-70 kPa (~7-10 psi). It isn't as bad as it sounds, since sterilization time isn't linear with pressure/temperature. I've found I can get away with 120 min sterilization time for grains, 75 min for PF sub and 30 min for agar.

Scalpel handle and blades. [US](https://www.amazon.com/100-Scalpel-Blades-One-Handle/dp/B01MPX3JTI/) [Europe](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Swann-Morton-Handle-5-10-Blades/dp/B004OIAVJY/)

(optional) inoculation loop. [US](https://www.amazon.com/OESS-Reusable-Inoculating-Inoculation-Bacterial/dp/B071DCS7TW) [Europe1](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Akozon-Inoculation-Inoculating-Microbiology-Laboratory/dp/B07KM7F8VH) [Europe2](https://www.amazon.co.uk/sourcingmap%C2%AE-Inoculating-Microbiology-Tissue-Culture/dp/B071X44DS4/)

Tyvek (for filtered lids). [US](https://www.amazon.com/Dupont-Tyvek-105gm-A5-Sheets/dp/B07418F31G/) [Europe](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tyvek-75gm-Bumper-pack-sheets/dp/B004EXTKSW/)

(optional) oster blender attachments used for PF slurry or LI. [China](https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Head-Ice-Crushing-Crusher-Blade-Replacement-Part-For-Oster-Osterizer-Blender/182451440105)

3M Micropore tape (for filtered lids and monotub holes). [US](https://www.amazon.com/3M-1530-1-Micropore-Tape-Pack/dp/B0082A9FEM/) [Europe](https://www.amazon.co.uk/3M-Micropore-Surgical-First-Medical/dp/B01KYK2666/)

A spray bottle for soapy water. [US](https://www.amazon.com/Tolco-Bottle-Frosted-Assorted-Colors/dp/B000H88PCU/) [Europe](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Leifheit-72416-Laundry-Sprayer/dp/B0049PB11Y/)

Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), 70%. [US](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Brand-Isopropyl-Antiseptic-Technical/dp/B07NFSFBXQ/) (dilute down to 70%, that percentage is best for sanitization [EU](https://www.amazon.co.uk/We-Can-Source-Ltd-Fingerprints/dp/B07PGB5X6Y/)

A rack to elevate your agar dishes while you do transfers, like these that come with microwave ovens (contaminants tend to collect on the SABs bottom).

A slightly wet towel to put the SAB on. Some people disagree on this, I use the towel to absorb the sprayed soap/water mix and not having that run off the table.

A clear box that's modified as a SAB. I use this one as a SAB, maybe they ship outside Germany. Anyway the manufacturer is kis.it (builds the monotub too), so I think they might be available elsewhere in Europe: https://www.obi.de/aufbewahrungsboxen/obi-allzweckbox-santos-transparent-oversize-140-l/p/3333341?template=PDP&box=box4

More clear boxes used to fruit bottles (basically a monotub, just with individual substrate containers). I use these as unmodded monos (no holes, no flipped lid, lids not latched): https://www.obi.de/aufbewahrungsboxen/obi-allzweckbox-cadiz-l-mit-4-rollen-transparent/p/1930387.

Butane torch [US](https://www.amazon.com/Multipurpose-MDee-Culinary-Refillable-Adjustable/dp/B07MNN2B43) [Europe](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kollea-Adjustable-Refillable-Blowtorch-Soldering/dp/B07QC1T6H5)

Bottles (can be wide mouth pint mason jars (US), quart Ziplock PP5 containers (US) or [these (which I use)](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Round-Food-Containers-Plastic-Clear-Storage-Tubs-with-Lids-Deli-Pots-2oz-to-32oz/232308091965)

A lot of 70% isopropyl alcohols contain oils, which are obviously not good for leaving a clean surface on your CPU/heatsink.

I'd honestly try for 99%. This is what I buy.

You don't need much of it and you only really buy it once in a great while, so you may as well get the right stuff now and not worry about it again for a while.

I get boxes of these and keep them at work. Individually wrapped, just put one on my pocket before I head to the bathroom.

Get yourself some hibiclens. Add into daily shower routine - Wash as normal (regular soap) and finish with a quick scrub with this around balls / armpits & and that shit cuts down on the musk big time. Don’t use it on your face or in place of soap though it’s aggressive.
