Answer: Removing Ink Stains. To remove ink stains from clothing, simply spray the dry fabric with hair spray. Then treat with your regular pre-treating spray, or blot with a damp cloth, and voila! It's gone. I've even done this at work, after getting an ink stain on white pants, while wearing them!!!! It came off, too! As always, test a small spot, first!

Question: Stuck glass bowls I know that I've read that there is an easy way to "unstick" glass bowls. Any of your readers know the secret? Much appreciated! -- williammeins1952@msn.com (WILLIAM MEINS) (Ref:0564)
Answer: When you can't use lots of physical force to separate two "stuck" things, heat is often the best way to do it. The principle here is that when you heat something, it expands a little. When you cool something, it shrinks. You need a temperature difference (what scientists call a "delta-t") between the outside (neck) of the decanter and the stopper. This causes increases the space between the two parts, hopefully enough to separate them. For example, you could tie a piece of cloth on the outside, soaked in hot water. You could even try ice on the stopper at the same time. Another application of this idea is to apply a torch to a nut that won't come loose from a dirty or rusty bolt. The nut heats up faster. This helps to break the "glue" binding them together. -- Tony midinspbeast@yahoo.com

Question: Hot pan on oak table Help!!! I put a hot pan on my oak dining table, and I need to know how to remove it. Can anyone help me? Thanks. -- leydig@adelphia.net (Sherry Leydig) (Ref:0569)Answer#1: (Ref:0569) Hot pan on oak table reply You need to remove the black scorch mark, then re-colour the wood if it's stained. Try sanding the area very lightly with a very fine sandpaper. You can purchase a crayon-like colouring stick from some furniture stores. Sand an inconspicuous area first and try shoe nugget or coloured wax to put back the wood colour before trying it on the table top. Another tip is cigarette ash rubbed on with a soft cloth in a circular motion. I've never tried that one myself, but it's an old "Wives Tale" remedy. Has to be only a light scorch though. -- Kirsty Brown orgnspaniser@paradise.net.nz
Answer#2: Hot Pan on Table. Try mayonnaise; something about the oil helps raise stains. Then you may have to sand and refinish, as the other person said (sorry!) -- Lauren Matheson matnospam@uninspmelb.edu.au Feb 13 2006
