Hi all,
A couple weeks back we had quite a run on plastic Braille labeling. Thermoform
paper and sticky backed sheets.
Someone had given a place to buy the thicker plastic that you peal the back off
to stick in place.
I know it wasn't one of the specialized blind market places that was

You will either have a rubber string looking strap or a chain coming from the
top of the flapper valve. Usually when the valve wants to shut early, there is
too much slack in the chain or strap. Try taking out some more of the slack
where it goes through the flush rod on the crank. It should
Well, you shouldn't need to soak the connection to the shut off. Those don't
require much force to tighten or loosen.
Unfortunately, the other seal you need to replace will be a bit harder to get
apart.
You will need to empty the tank completely. Hold the flush valve until you
don't hear
Yes, that is what I have. It was replaced on general principles when
the toilet was pulled to put in flooring.

Aloha Bill,
The two toilets that I have are different in the way that the chain
or plastic strip that goes from the flapper to the handle connect.
However, on both of them, it is possible to adjust the length of the
chain. Mine has a little hook that goes through the chain, so if it
is too long
hi is your toilet an older one or new?
the newer ones have heaver flappers so they only flush half at a time.
if you want a full flush you have to hold it down.
it saves water you know.

Try adjusting the chain so it pulls the flapper up a little higher. This causes
water to tip out of the flapper so it takes a little longer to settle down onto
the seat.
You might try wiping around the surface of the flapper seat with a rag too.
Sometimes it collects slime and such which interf
Hi,
Depending on the supply line, you might like to buy a new one, they make a sort
of braded hose now to run between the stop cock and the underside of the toilet
tank. They have the nuts already in place and being a flexible hose they make
connection really easy and convenient.

Well folks, as the subject line indicates I've been trying to fix a leaking or
running toilet today. So far the lads at the hardware store, you know, the one
that's a mile from my house on foot and a mile bac, have sold me two flappers,
one which I broke because the ears wouldn't fit my toilet,
Aloha Dale,
Oi, it is the stop cock, and it was reported to me, that there was no
screw in the middle of the handle to remove. Hmm, I looked after
reading your email, and there is a screw, which I have removed and
replaced the washer. I'll be going to home depot tomorrow to get the
replacement r
Hi Lee,
Actually, we hop a jet plane. When you live in the islands like this,
jumping on a plane is like busses in the continental U.S. Most of the
time my trips are paid for by the people I either volunteer with,
such as boards, or by customers who need me to consult with them
about their alte

A few things.
1) There will be a couple of bolts hanging down under the back of the stool.
These come through the bottom of the tank. If they are not too rusted they
should remove and allow you to lift the tank. They don't want to be too tight
or they will crack the porcelain tank or the stool
Aloha all,
This is a bit of a long story, but I'm venting along the way.
Well, my first mistake was telling "he who knows everything" that I
was going to replace the supply-line valve on the toilet because it
was leaking. Not a big deal, just get the spare one out of the
storage room and replac
Well, my machinist friend came over with his tools and did not need them.
When I showed him what my problem was he thought that the bolt with the
wooden handle could be tightened more. I told him that I did not have the
strength in my hands to do it. When he tried he could not get hand tightened

Pretty good for a little nailing but continuous stream work like palm nailers
or wrenches and other applications would require a lot of Co2 cylinders.

$79. It is a 12 volt model.
As for which is better, as usual it depends on use and need and similar things.
Maybe the best is a pneumatic one fro

You can get the canisters at any of the big box stores. I think Passload
carries a set up which should be available everywhere, and I think Lowes
carries something from Kobalt. They run in the neighborhood of $100 so it's
not cheap getting started. After you get the regulator and hoses, all y
Most palm nailers are pneumatic.
Sears has the battery powered Auto hammer. Eventually other manufacturers
may come out with competing models.
One of the things I don't like about the pneumatic is that you have to be
connected to a compressor, making it rather clumsy to move around with.
However,
Can you clarify the number and size machine screws you need?
I think you are saying you need a quantity of Four Screws. Is that right?
Then the size is one half inch Diameter by one inch long. Is that right?
Next, you want a flat head with a screwdriver slot in it. Correct?
Next, do you know
Can anyone tell me if Palm Nailers are available in both electric and
pneumatic? If they are available in both, dan anyone recommend which might
be the best?Thanks, Tom
