pressure washer accident image
We had an accident with a tub of fence paint and it is all over the flags on the driveway. We have tried the pressure washer but it doesn't appeat to do much has anyone got any ideas please?
Answer
This is a toughie. If it was oil-base paint, try some lacquer thinner on it, covered with a plastic tarp for several hours. It then might be scrubbable off with a towel dipped in the lacquer thinner.
Or try something like 3M "Safest Stripper", a not too toxic paint stripper.
Worst case you'll have to rent a sandblaster.

How do I remove a security tag that was left on my sweater by accident?

The other day it was my birthday My friend bought me an abercrombie & fitch, but she didnt give me the receipt and they left the plastic security tag on it . I asked if I could have the receipt, but she lost it. Its not one of them ink tags, so is there anyway I can remove the tag without damaging it?
Answer
Well, Of all the advice I heard on hear, none really sounded right. I've had to remove them twice. Once for my sister in law, and once for my wife. These things are real buggers to remove. If you really want it off there are several options.
(A) Take it back, which pretty well everyone has suggested so far.
(B) wear something to cover it up. (not suggested)
(C) Take the tag off.
I've had to take several of the tags off, and there are different models. Some are trickier than others. But the easy way to see inside to find out what will work best is to take a lighter, (any lighter will do) and melt some of the plastic off the cap (the little bump in the tag right above where the two halves of the tag connect). Now depending on the model is how you proceed.
Some use a ball bearing and spring to cause the spring to pressure the glass vials to break, thus spilling the ink. There is also the method of having a metal washer beneath the vials and any undo pressure will pull the washer into the vials causing them to break and spill their load.
Now for how to proceed. The ball bearing one is the easiest, and easiest to spot. Look for a spring once the cap is melted off. That's how you spot it. If this is your model, just use the lighter to melt the plastic on the inside near the connection point. This will allow you to pull the melting plastic apart as easily as pulling cheese off a pizza. Mmmm. After that, you're scott free!
Ok. So the alternate method is a bit more of a headache. You can either do a controlled break, (easier but possibly messier and a chance of staining shirt), or you can snip the connecting rod.
To do a controlled break you must first melt off the top surface in order to see the placement of the vials. After that tape over the openings on the underside of the top half. Then use a plastic surface (a ziploc will do) to place in between the halves. make sure to have them close to the center. After that go outside and take a screwdriver, knife, or some other pointy object, and break the vials while holding the clothing upside down. Ink will spatter over the ground. But you're not done yet. Take some paper towels and soak up as much ink from the inside of the tag as you can. AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Then you can flip it over and pull the tags apart without worrying if the ink will spill onto the clothing.
To snip the rod you will need a very sharp small scissors. If possible you could use hair clipping scissors. Insert the scissors in between the two halves and put some major force into literally cutting the connecting rod. It will snap off and then the two halves will be separated.
My last piece of advice is to not just to try and pull them apart. If you do, chance are the ink will burst. This is the most common thing people try to remove them, and therefore is the most guarded against.
