Work done for 28 May 2009: General cleaning with acid wash

Finally can step onto the floors without getting the feet dirty.

The cleaning uncle really did a nice job.

Also managed to get some cleaning tips from him.

(1) Thinner

Don't use on any surface if you are not familiar with its properties.

For example, if you use it on your verneer door, the applied portion will change color :P

Uncle has a bottle but he does not want to give me :P

(2) Turpentine

Good for cleaning stains (such as glue, paint, masking tap residue) on surfaces other than stainless steel, solid top

Uncle gives the left-over (more than half a bottle) to me :)

(3) Window film / Solar film / newspapers

Newspapers are good for cleaning glass such as mirrors and window glass.

But if you have applied window film or solar fim on window glass, best not to use newspapers to clean as it may scratch.

Just spray glass cleaning solution and wipe with a cloth.

thanks for e tip!

Uncle left behind a new tin of Turpentine and i was wondering what it is use for!

Miss out something:

Use a dry cloth to apply turpentine.

Don't wash the cloth after use.

Just leave it for next application.

hello,

A bracket normally can support a variety of sizes. For example, a bracket can support 40", 42", 46" and 50".

Lets say you change from 40" to 46", you can reuse the bracket since the mounting holes at the back of TV are according to some standard one.

However, if you mount your soundbar directly below your current TV without any allowance (i.e. top of soundbar flushed to bottom of your TV), then your TV cannot be changed to bigger size without shifting the soundbar down or shifting the tv mount up.
