Cannot remove kitchen silicone

I messed up whilst tooling some kitchen silicone and I can't seem to remove it with a Stanley knife.
I've also tried the flour and water method and it's to flat on the surface to come up.
Any recommendations for how to remove it?

If you feel in control, try a razor blade type paint remover.

Leaky shower head

F

Flick106 on Jul 21, 2018

We have recently remodeled our shower. A new shower valve and assembly was installed. No leaks were noted. However after our first shower, we noticed water would leak from shower head whenever there was water on elsewhere in the house- sprinklers, toilet, washer. The amount of water is significant. Maybe a 1/4 cup per toilet flush, more if the water is running longer, like for the sprinklers. I took the valve assembly out to look for damage but did not notice anything out of the ordinary. I reinstalled and there was no leak with water running. Then the shower was used again and the leak returned. I took the assembly apart again, added a little grease to the O rings and re-assembled. The problem persists still. Can someone help please?? Thanks SteveRead More

Kitchen sink enigma help!

Hey Guys, I've noticed that if I let the water run for awhile, the water would start to fill up the sink since it's not draining fast enough. So today, I replaced the p-trap as well as the pipe that leads to the drain. They were both clogged with gunk, especially the pipe that lead to the drain. I also removed some gunk I could reach in the main drain. I put an auger in there and seemed to move fine. So I was sure the p-trap and the pipe were the culprit. However, after the job was done, the water is still not draining fast enough, and would flow into the garbage disposal side. If I run the garbage disposer, it would suck the water in, but eventually spit it back up when I turn it off. What do you guys think is happening? Here is what I replaced. I used plastic, so you can easily tell. [ATTACH]95649[/ATTACH] Here is a picture of my overall set-up. [ATTACH]95651[/ATTACH] Could the clogs be from the garbage disposal pipe or the sink pipe leading to the Tee? Since the pipe that lead to the drain was completely filled with gunk. I was so sure it was the problem that I didn't check the disposal and sink pipes. But before I go at it again, I'd figure I'd get some opinions. Thanks in advance.Read More
