I hope you've had a good day. :)


Sleeping and cleaning. Sigh. The story of my life :facepalm:


I think I am going to start a project (mess??) tonight. When we got our new microwave, the surround for the old one didn't fit it. Hubs said it is about a mm too small all the way around. I think I am going to try to file it down to fit. Then paint it. I figure if I screw it up, no huge loss. But if it works it will save over $200! That is how much the surround and mounting kit costs for the new one. That is as much as the darn microwave cost :sneaky:

Now that could get costly if you had to replace with every microwave!!

Hey Tink,

On my last order of CHR from One Stop DIY, they sent me a small sample of TPA/TFA Cola. I mixed it at 10% and it was too strong, so I cut that with some USP VG and Distilled Water. It's pretty good, and it's probably at about 7.5% to 6% now. Before I cut it, it tasted like the wax cola bottles when got as kids (had a waxy taste to it). Now, it tastes more like Cola. TFA also makes a Cola Syrup that is supposed to be sweeter. I may try it the next time I order from them. Just thought I'd tell you, in case you wanted to try a Cola. I know you love your Caramel Capp.

Just curious, but how do you plan on doing this. Sanding? Don't forget that the new paint will add some thickness back.

Does it have carbonation? :sneaky:

I've never really thought I'd like a cola flavor. And I've tried so many that I thought I would like, but then didn't, I keep promising myself I'm not going to order more flavoring :laugh:

Mopped mine the other day. Probably needs it again though. Or at least it does in my head before I go.

I should do it more often :facepalm: It is so quick and easy (I use the Swiffer throw-away things) I really have no excuse not to. I only use those Swiffer things on the kitchen and tile bathroom floors. I use the Bona on the wood floors.

I got one of these and really like it.

"Mop?" Does not compute in my data base. :laugh: I only spot mop with a wet paper towel....pushed around with my foot. Now that is lazy. :laugh:

:laugh: That is how I usually do it! Thus it really needed a real mopping today :D

Just curious, but how do you plan on doing this. Sanding? Don't forget that the new paint will add some thickness back.

I thought I would use a metal file?? I don't know if it will work. That is why I said I may be getting into a 'mess' instead of a project :laugh:

Well when you get it down pat, you could send me a sample. Please :D

I may have to wait until I get more. It was a very small sample bottle. But if I sent you some of this, it would be 100% VG + Flavoring + distilled water to thin it. Would you be good with that? I think the Cola Syrup would be better.
