BlueFish asked:
Most of the flame on my burner is blue except for on flame is orange. Is there a leak? Should I be concerned?

What is this orange stuff on my tile after burning paper was on it?
Filed Under Maintenance Repairs | 2 Comments
LinT asked:
I had to burn a part of a piece of paper, but it burned too quickly, so i dropped it. I dropped it on the floor of my bathroom. I started stepping on it to put it out, and when it went out, I started cleaning it up. There was this orange-brown spot, so I wiped it off, and it was almost like a gel, but more solid. What was this?

Eze asked:
When I manually turn on the switch on the electrical panel in my house that controls a water pump, the switch immediately returns to the middle position and the background turns orange inside the switch. The pump doesn’t start. What does this mean?

How can I get orange spray paint off my washer and dryer?

jajoh23 asked:
We recently moved and got this washer and dryer from a co-worker of my husbands, problem is that his kid got ahold of orange spray paint and it’s all over the outside of the washer and dryer and on the inside of the washer. We have tried a few things but if I can’t get it out then I’m going to give it back to him and buy a different set.

christineabean8 asked:
I live in a pretty old apartment with a negligent landlord, and I am guessing this showerhead is pretty old (so old that I had to sign a waiver to move in because of the possibility of lead paint). There is a lot of orange stuff deposited on my showerhead (around the inside of where the water comes out). Is it rust? Is it harmful to me? Could it be the cause of a urinary tract infection that came out of the blue?

whit asked:
I have a 1998 Chevy s10 pickup and i noticed the antifreeze was low so we put regular green antifreeze in and when we opened the radiator cap the antifreeze in there was orange. I know that orange is used in gm vehicles but what is the difference and was it bad that i mixed the green coolant with the orange.

I have finished my Jeep and looking to repaint it orange. I have painted my last car but it was just basic black and very easy to find. I’m having a real hard time finding Orange Automotive Paint. Any website, phone number, or tips are greatly appreciated.

What causes orange peel in fiberglass parts and how do eliminate it?
Filed Under Maintenance Repairs | 1 Comment
t j asked:
I am having orange peel issues in the parts I’m making. I use a 50/50 ratio of calcium carbonite/resin applied with a chop gun. The catalyst ratio is between 1 and 1.5
I’ve always thought that it is mainly dependent on resin/chop ratio, but am getting it on pretty much every part whether wet or dry.
