[lace-chat] Getting sticky-label gunge off melamine
Tamara wrote: I'm sure something similiar (though, probably, under another name) is available in the UK as well - look in places like Boots, in the same area as other particular cleaning supplies (around silver polish and such) You won't find things like that in Boots (at least not in the big store in Poole or through their web site). They cut back on a lot of what they used to sell a few years back. They no longer have cookware, kitchen or household sections. Supermarkets don't sell this kind of thing because they can't sell in volume - I'm surprised they still sell silver polish. The few remaining small ironmongers (hardware stores) might sell something suitable - we have a brilliant one in Poole which has the wooden drawers along the walls reaching to the ceiling, just like in the 'Two Ronnies' sketch 'Fork handles/four candles'. I use the orange-scented 'Sticky-stuff remover' available from suppliers like Kleeneze, Bettaware or Lakeland.

[lace-chat] secret pal thanks
Dear Secret Pal, Your parcel was waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday. Many thanks for such lovely gifts - they were well worth waiting a little longer for. Where do I start? The key ring is really cute and will be in use soon. The bag and bobbin are delightful and I can't wait to embroider the pin cushion kit. Loved the tea towel - it won't get used for the dishes yet but will be hung up on display for a while. The pack of beads are perfect as I've recently purchased some bobbins with blue flowers painted on them - you must have known!! Pleased to hear your lace society gathering was a success. I know what hard work such things can be. Hope you get the chance to put your feet up for a bit now. Thanks againAndreain Cambridge UK, where Spring has Sprung.

Hi Anne, Euctuplys oil works a treat! If you can't get that then use methylated spirits or nail polish remover.

Re: [lace-chat] Getting sticky-label gunge off melamine
It is very interesting. Yesterday I read several suggestions for removing sticky gunge. Today I received and read the original question and both questioner and I are in the same country within the UK. Sometimes email can be as inconsistent as snail mail. :-) Patricia in Wales [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Goo-Gone even works on pine pitch, as I found after my husband sat on a picnic-table bench on a hot July day. The bench was painted, but the heat had made sap leak through the paint layer. The label says Removes oil, tape, blood, candle wax, asphalt, tree sap, make-up, adhesives. I gave it to the contractor who applied the asphalt to the outside of our basement, and it took that off, too. The front label says Citrus power, so I wonder if the UK Sticky-stuff remover is basically the same stuff. For label stickum, after soaking the paper off, I let the remainder dry, then saturate the stickum with baby oil or mineral oil. Leave it overnight, then scrape the oil and stickum off.

From: Ann McClean [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [lace-chat] Getting sticky-label gunge off melamine Greetings fellow spiders, Advice, please, on how to remove the residue from sticky labels from a pair of melamine salt pepper shakers. The paper has soaked away, but the sticky gunge left behind is proving stubborn :( I'd try methylated spirits.

[lace-chat] Lace 'At Home' - Essex/Suffolk, UK
Hi All, A great day was had yesterday! I hosted an 'At Home' Lacemaking Day - it was advertised in Essex Lace Makers newsletter, but unfortunately not advertised in the Suffolk Lace Makers Newsletter, so we had a lounge full of mainly Essex ladies - and my students - making lace, with a lot of gossip, and the new faces quickly became good friends! But - because we only had the Essex contingent this time, several there thought it would be a good idea to make sure that it was advertised a little more widely, so if anyone is in the UK, in the Suffolk area, between Ipswich and Colchester - or within reach of there - on June 22nd, get in touch with me, and I'll let you have directions to find the house. Although we live in a very small village (one general shop, a part-time post office, but umpteen pubs!) we are easy to reach as the A12 goes right beside the village.We met at about 10.30 am, and the last person left about 4.15 pm - they all brought their lunches, and those who had pillow stands brought them too. Coffee, tea and cakes were provided, my husband was banished to the study and the small upstairs TV room for the day - and it really was most enjoyable. The idea of the 'At Home' was, I think, formed over twenty-five years ago - it was going strong when I joined Essex Lace Makers about 1978, with ladies coming from all over the county - as well as Suffolk and a couple from Norfolk, if I remember rightly! - for a day making lace, so I was pleased to be able to revive these days. So - if anyone can manage to get to us, do let me know and I'll give you directions - we all enjoyed the day, and it would be nice to meet other local lace-makers, in a more relaxed setting, where we can make lace, chat, and get to know each other.
