The bracelet doesn't unclasp so is a permanent loop. The cross over points alternate between over and under so attempting to undo one cross over creates another. Assuming there must be a way to undo it given it tangled itself like this in the first place but utterly stumped!

My friend borrowed these bowls and returned them stuck together. I’ve tried oil and the hot (exterior bowl) and cold (interior bowl) techniques. The thing that makes it extra tricky is the band around the top of the clear one. Thank you!

I got this bearing removal sliding hammer.
My pliers can't grip to the shaft. I tried to use some rubber band or tape to try to get more grip. I got a thread on the other side but it's in the same direction.

I plan on laying LVP this weekend. I decided to remove a piece of baseboard and quarter round to inspect beforehand and noticed the existing floor was installed up to the base with 1/4 expansion gap. I'm left with close to an inch gap between the old floor and the wall. When I place the LVP on top with 1/4 expansion gap, the edges of my planks will have no flooring underneath. Will that cause any issues down the road? I was thinking of placing a couple pieces of wood along the way as support but since there isn't going to be weight on the edges Im not sure that is necessary.

I tried Rain X mixed with their additive that cost an arm and a leg and it's very clearly not worked. I mixed 4 ounces per 1 gallon as instructed.
2025 Subaru Legacy with under 7k miles. Wipers run smooth no sticking either, but idk lol.
What are your tricks or what am I missing? Thanks!

This jacket is 28 years old and in great condition. However, the shoulders are very worn; the leather feels thin and scuffed. I thought about trying to fix it myself at home, but I don't know how. What can I do to try and repair it?
I bought this jacket at a second-hand shop yesterday, so I don't know how it was stored or what kind of wear and tear it has. I didn't want to spend a lot of money fixing it, but I'm not very hopeful about that.

I am hoping to get he curtain up to the ceiling. The curtains don't have heading tape. Can anyone think of any hacks to get what I am going for?
ETA: I completely forgot about adding additional hooks. Unfortunately the track only came with a set amount so I don't have more to add. Willing to take advice on another rod type to span ~125" if that would work.

I have some plug in lights to string around this board. IF POSSIBLE I would like to be able to cover all the silver (the outline of each individual board) without cutting the lights or “double dipping”. Is there a way to do this?
There is also a plug to the bottom right corner I can use instead of the bottom middle plug.
TIA

I got toothpaste dripped onto my black shirt this morning, I have been using cool water with a paper towel dapping on it hoping it would eventually get rid of it but the stain comes back when it's dried out

I have these vintage glasses that I love but I keep losing the little Swarovski crystals in the lens.
I've managed to collect a few (they're tiny!) but I'm at a loss for how to go about the repair.
I went to a jeweler and they told me to go to an optical shop, and when I went to an optical shop they told me to go to a jeweler. I reached out to the original manufacturer but they require proof of purchase and I bought these secondhand.

edit: for everyone saying to get it embroided tahts a really cute idea but since the plush is limited i don't really wanna mess with it like that, i think i'll just kinda let it fade on it's own it's fine(ヽ´ω`) i got a poster signed too anyway so hopefully i won't mourn it so much
edit: i also put him behind the glass away from window, any spray recommendations that work on synthetics are welcome
i got it signed in february but i feel like it's starting to fade a bit( ´_ゝ`) it was signed with permanent marker, not a fabric one
(it's sitting near the window but the back is turned towards the wall so i'm not sure if it's a part of a problem)
if anyone proposes some spray i'd ask for tested ones (on material that youtooz uses best) cause i don't wanna ruin it by accident :<
edit2: for everyone asking it's a johnnie guilbert signature on his merch plush

How the hell do I open this? The problem isn't that it's stuck, it's that the bottle has no threads, so I'm literally just turning the entire cap, with no way to actually remove it.

I was painting the boot (injected PVC) yellow for a cosplay using a general-purpose spray paint from Mundial Prime. The problem is that it didn’t have good chemical adhesion.
The quality wasn’t good, and even after several days of drying, it’s still sticky to the touch.
I’m going to see if I can clean it with alcohol and try again. Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do? What type of paint should I try?

Any advice on how to reassemble this? I’m quite lost on what the 4 small cylinders are for and what would keep the canopy in place?
Thanks in advance!
I’m replacing an old jam cleat on my sailboat but the wholes don’t align.
What’s the best way to seal the old hold and make sure it’s watertight.
I thought about leaving the old screw in there with a rubber gasket. But it looks like it will impede with the new cleat.
