working with cellulose by
Allan Adler
Is there a book that explains how to make miniature models with cellulose,
bakelite (or other photoelastic materials) safely and cheaply? All I know
is that cellulose is supposed to come in sheets that one can glue together
seamlessly using solvents, which makes me wonder about toxicity risks.

I have several colors of waterbased acrylic paint (Plaid and other brands)
but when I tried painting on plastic the paint can be easily scratched off
the surface after dried.
The object in question is my daughter's Little People toy house. It is quite
bland and I am thinking of painting some...

Mad Scientist Jr
I have a couple single color designs created in drawing/paint programs
that i would like to silkscreen onto a t-shirt (white ink directly on
the shirt). Without actually having a pro shop do it, what kind of

Adhesives - paper to paper by
Harriet
I am currently experimenting with manufacturing a new note card by applying
a 32 lb printed paper to a heavier, 65 or 80 lb. paper (note card).
I am doing this because my laser printer does not like 80 lb paper even
though the specs for the printer say it will take up to 90 lbs. I believe
that it...

fair bit of wall and floor tiling inside the house, so I know some of the
basics. However, because I will need to tile on an existing...

My fiance and I are hand-making our wedding invitations. We'll be
printing traditional quimper figures on them, but were hoping to add

Painting license plates by
Gregorso
What kind of paint is recommended for handpainting a plastic license
plate?
I'd like to try painting pictures on license plates to give as gifts,
but I won't be using an airbrush. I imagine that a particular paint
is needed to adhere well and withstand the wind and elements.
Thanks for any advice...
