I'm debating whether to get acrylic nails or fiber glass nails. Which one do you prefer and why?
Q. -like which lasts longer...stronger...looks better?
Asked by 14sephora - Thu Jul 26 02:39:39 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Acrylics are all I have done now. I had a bad experience with fiberglass ones and they kept breaking. Far too expensive to have to constantly go in for repairs. Acrylics are stronger, look better if you have them painted (I have mine airbrushed which lasts longer than polish), and they last a while, you just have to go in every couple of weeks to have a fill in done.

A. That information is readily available in the polymer handbook. Don't have one here at home, so I can't help you much more than sending you in the right direction. Here's an online version... it takes a little while to load, it's the whole book.

I am looking for a custom bowling ball that has a carbon fiber shell, or looks like it's all carbon fiber.?
Q. I've looked at most of the major ball makers and while I found the skull ball from Mystery Men, I can't find a simple acrylic ball that's covered in Carbon Fiber. Any ideas?
Asked by Jimmy B - Thu Jan 8 01:18:04 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. i don't think bowling balls are allowed to be made of carbon fiber... i think what you're looking for is a plastic ball. if you want custom designs, Brunswick has a Viz-a-ball line of plastic balls for shooting spares and for small children. i think you can custom-order the graphics.

Asked by snapper - Thu Aug 27 11:40:48 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. White PVA glue is pretty brilliant for fixing anything because it is strong but also peelable if you make a mistake, it dries clear and is also non-toxic. You can get it in 3 litre buckets from an 'Early Learning Centre' shop in the UK very cheap, otherwise it is marketed as 'craft glue' and a bit more expensive. I'm not sure how many decades it lasts, but in my experience it lasts quite a bit longer than Sellotape, and is almost as good as the much-hyped hot glue gun. The best thing is always to try the simplest and cheapest product first and if that doesn't work try again.

Which type of fake nail tip is best?
Q. I've never gotten fake tips before so I don't know which will be the best. Like which stays longest and doesn't chip as easily? Acrylic, fiber, gel, or silk?
Asked by superswimmerbabe - Sun Jan 10 02:49:46 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I prefer gel nails. I find that the nail technician does a better job with gel as it doesnt dry as quick as acryllic and she has a chance to shape them and buff them properly. For your first time I would recommend getting a slighly natural length with a round or square shape. The shorter they are the longer they are likely to last.

Asked by Crimson & Clover - Tue May 27 18:03:33 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Acrylic IS easy to care for and inexpensive but does pose a fire hazard. Natural fibers are softest for baby skin - cotton, wool ... or for the more extravagant, how about a silk-cashmere blend? Or for slightly less 'splurge', a bamboo/ cotton blend? They feel divinely soft!

How to put on fake nails at home. Help?

Because I wash my hands a lot during the day (sometimes with soap, but mostly with water,then towel-dried). How do I put these on correctly? And how many days should I leave them on? On one of the packs, there is glue AND stick-on tabs. Which should I use and what is better? The stick-on tabs are made from acrylic polymer, acrylic resin, BHT, and glass fibers. I heard something about acrylic and fake nails, but I forgot what it was. HELP!!

Good stores that make clothes out of natural fibers?
Q. Hi I'm very particular about the material of my clothing. I dislike polyester, rayon, modal, acrylic, etc. I really like clothes made (at least 80%) of natural fibers such as cotton, wool, cashmere, silk. Right now there are only a couple of stores I've found to shop at: Banana Republic, and BCBG notably have good fabrics. I really wish I could go to Ralph Lauren but I live in Canada and it is not available here. I'm 20. Thanks!
Asked by Jade - Tue Jan 20 16:17:47 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Although manmade fabrics have certainly come a long way, almost all stores have clothes that are cotton. Almost all t-shirts are at least 90% cotton (most now have spandex or lycra in it but usually less than 10%). Denim jeans are usually at least 75% cotton. Wool slacks are easy to find, especially in the fall and winter months. A little lable reading is all that's necessary - I do most of my clothes shopping at Target, Kohls, and JC Penney, and almost all my clothes are natural materials (and I don't even read the labels before hand!).

Cat swallowed some yarn, will cat food with added fiber help in eliminating yarn?
Q. While I was sleeping one of my cats got hold of a ball of acrylic yarn (one of their toys). He ate a good amount, about a 12-18" piece. I know the symptoms to watch out for and when to take him to the vet. We currently feed the cats an indoor formula food which has added fiber. Will this help pass the yarn through him? I don't have a vet for the cats. They were neutered and had their basic shots at a low cost service so they've never actually been to the vet. I did research on what to do and look for if a cat swallows yarn/string.

A. Poly/cotton. It irons well, it holds the shape of the garment. It wears well. Not as cool [temperature wise]as cotton, but cooler than polyester alone. Makes a great shirt,, scrubs for nurses, summer nighties and robes. Women would suffer without Lycra/spandex. Our underwear moves with us, doesn't gouge, when we use it. Hate linen. It wrinkles, and the wrinkes do not come out. The addition of other fibers do not help much. The look is unmade bed. Cotton for summer, animal fibers for winter. Nylon windbreakers are great for waterproof, they block cool rainey wind , acrlyic is warm, and washable, have some acrlyc mittens and such.
