Olive oil is made by pressing with a machine called an expeller. You can buy them but they are expensive. The mash left over from the pressings is called pomace. Pomace oil is hexane-extracted. Probably none of this is practical for the home unless you are a DIY fanatic with lots of time and money.
Olives are process for eating by curing in a lye solution. I've never done this although I know one or two people who do. You have to know what you're doing so you don't poison yourself....(Answered by David L) |

What lubricant do you recommend I use between wood and plastic?
I'm working on fixing an armoire in my bedroom, and the drawer seems to be sticking more than I'd like it to. I narrowed it down to friction between the drawer and rail. The drawer is particle board, and the rail is some kind of plastic. I don't have white lithium grease; do you recommend I get some? I do, however, have at my immediate disposal olive oil, canola oil, moly-fortified synthetic grease (the red stuff), SAE40 Valvoline motor oil, SAE 5W30 AMSOIL motor oil, PB Blaster, WD40, and paint thinner (which leaves a thin grease when it dries).

I wouldn't do it. You are asking for a hot plastic mess! I can also imagine the iron on transfer would come off on moms feet as she wears the sandals.
Solution: You could stencil the design onto the sandals. Check out your local craft store for paint and the plastic to make the pattern.
Best of luck!...(Answered by usn4kidz) |

Correct number of walls to paint?
I would like to paint my master bedroom, and was thinking of a olive green! My furniture is large and room is not that bright! My color scheme that I have going on is dark purple accented with an antique green/gold color! The room is dark as I have only an atrium door that provides day light. The walls are currently eggshell and I want to liven the room up with color! HELP!

How about painting the wall behind the bed the olive green and the other three walls a lighter shade of the same green. The paint strips in stores show all the matching colors.
Who says rooms always have to be light. A bedroom can be dark like a cozy den to snuggle in and relax. Whatever you feel good in is what you should paint it. Good luck, remember its only paint and can be redone....(Answered by DaLady) |
