  4. Depend how serious the problem & how long the stain mark is there.. In the past, I also tried many solutions, only one could solve... Just use White vinegar (clear solution, those for cooking), just spray on & wipe/rub.. The water mark is actually lime deposit.. it's from our water source .. overtime, it will form lime scale...so the vinegar is acidic..& create some chemical reaction.. BUT, pls ensure the vinegar DO NOT touch any marble stone.. else it will stain the marble.. I have another bathroom glass which has more serious issues, even white vinegar is not able to solve
  5. I don't think those product by Basicdeco is lamination like those Formica type.. it's basically large size 'sticker'.. of cos, it could still achieve the 'face-lift' effect, but that depend on individual liking..

    Epoxy Putty

    Hi, I have used those 2 part epoxy putty quite extensively in the past, you can get it easily almost anywhere in Singapore, even those neighborhood shop that sell 'cheap' item can get... (selling from $4.50 ~ $$6.0) Basically, just get equal amount of A & B "putty" , like those kid playdol.. & mix it with evenly with thumb ... it will dry rock hard few hour later.. But, I do not use it as wall hanging picture support.. mainly use it to repair those wall switch, after a while, the "nut" that suppose to secure the wall switch will tend to disintegrated.. & the switch screw has no way to secure it firmly on the wall .. so, I use this two part epoxy putty to re-build the screw hole ... Also, you can use this to fill in wall hole.. unlike those white general putty which is "soft" when dry (you can use your finger nail & depress on it) ..the epoxy based putty really harden like rock.... How much weight the putty epoxy can secure the wall hook really depend on your wall surface, if it's rough, the chances is good.. personally I have not tried it.. but do take note that, it's hard to remove. & will likely pull the paint/cement off together when remove... so why not drill wall hole to secure your picture if heavy? at least I trust my screw hole support more than any other 'glue' adhesive method
  7. I believe your window/door frame is made of aluminium, those colour coating is normally done by a process called powder coating,which is impossible to be done at home DIY, as compare to normal solvet oil based paint.. if you want to change colour, I think the best you can do DIY is to paint it over, use masking tape to mask off the glass area (to ensure your paint line is straight), first do a undercoat layer, then follow by one or two layer of thin paint coat.. depend on your preference.. for me, I would prefer a matt finish than glossy for the upper coat.. BTW, Nippon also has some water based paint that suitable for this.. but undercoat & masking tape is needed for good result..
  8. As rule of thumb, avoid drill directly above or below switches, power outlet, water tap. By default, cable, pipe normally run from ceiling down straight, so just need to avoid, for kitchen, if you have concealed gas pipe, need extra careful..normally, gas pipe area should hv a clear label to indicate conceal pipe. If you want 100% sure, just go sim lim to buy those metal detector, meant for conceal wall wire, pipe detection.

    Diy Painting

    If without ceiling, i guess is quite do-able, i painted my 1400sqft condo myself(+wife), of course my unit then was empty, my own experience is, painting is rather easy and fast, trouble is before painting, the preparation work. to put masking tape around the wooden skirt, switches. And prepare the floor, to avoid paint on floor...
  11. Those light panel light is very well diffused, one coffee shop in bukit batok has recently (since cny) retrofited whole area with light panel, i am impressed with the light quality and the way light diffused, last time was illuminated with 2x 40w t8 tube, now the same area is light with 40w panel.,no harsh shadow..in fact, i seen them only on the alternate panel, maybe too bright if on all. If you r keen, can go there have a cup of coffee and see it for yourselve
  12. I have battle with ants for months, below my finding & experience 1.Must trace to their nest, no point just killing few that crawl out..must go to the source 2.If you can access to the nest directly, just kill them using spray aerosol. 3.Else use those 'gel' type , apply some (do not over apply) near the nest opening (place where the ants go inside), those gel is sweet, let them eat as much as they can & bring back to their nest/queen & infest the rest . 4.Do not kill them while they are eating the 'gel', you need the ants to do their work (bring back to their nest), you will notice, after a short while , a whole army of ant will crawl out enjoy the sweet meal 5.Do not use aerosol spray when applying 'gel' together, else the ants will "siam" the gel area.. 4.Repeat putting the 'gel' near the nest opening for next few days until no more ant crawling out.. you may notice some dead ant around the nest hole.. (the gel will dry out after ~ half day, so you need to repeat apply) 6.Last, use aerosol to spray inside their nest after few days , as final step, to ensure total elimination Some additional note 1.Those stick pad ant bait that sold in supermarket.. my experience is negative, what I noticed, no ants crawling in!! Seem like, the ants doesn't quite like the smell. 2. When tracking the ant trail, challenge is always , which way is the nest, so, you must spend time to trace..& source for the nest.. example if the ant crawl from left to right, the worker ants might be going out & look for food or it might be heading back to nest...key is patient.. So far, I managed to destroy at least 4 ant nest in my house, & now, it's ants free home!!
