Make sure it does not dry and harden. Use the scoop to place some cement on your hawk. Use your trowel to take the cement off the hawk and spread it onto the wall. Skim just enough cement over the lath so that it is covered. Use the scratcher to scratch the entire skimmed area. If your current batch is dried out, mix a new one. Clean them so they don’t get ruined. Use a wash brush and bucket of water, or whatever else that may work. You will know the patch is dry when it turns from a dark grey to a light grey.

Summary: Mix and prepare cement. Apply the cement to the patch. Scratch the patch. Make more cement. Clean your tools. Wait for the scratch coat to dry.


” Lay the Nook facedown and with the bottom closest to you. Find the flap in the lower right corner that says “Nook” on it. Lift this flap to reveal a memory card if your Nook has one. Remove the memory card. You’ll also see the two screws under the flap. If your nook has never been worked on, there will be one or two pieces of tape covering the screws. Remove the tape, but be wary that this voids your Nook’s warranty. Use a size T5 Torx screwdriver to remove both screws. Set them somewhere you won’t lose them. Use the prying tool provided with your Nook, or a flat plastic tool. Do not use a metal tool as you could break the nook. Carefully insert the tool between the back cover and the Nook Color’s main body and begin prying the cover off. Once the corner is pried off, slide the tool around one side to begin separating the back cover from the rest of the nook. When there is enough space in the gap, use your fingers to pry the back cover all the way off. Go slowly and be careful to avoid breaking the cover.

Summary: Lift the flap labeled “Nook. Remove the two screws. Pry the corner of the back cover gently. Separate the back cover completely.


Wait at least 1 minute for the oil to start bubbling a little bit. This will give it enough time to turn nice and brown. Add 1/2 lb. finely-chopped onion and 3 cloves minced garlic and cook them for at least 2-3 minutes. Add 1 tbsp. ground cumin, 1 tbsp. ground coriander, 1/2 tsp. allspice, and 1/4 tsp. chili powder to the sausage. Stir the ingredients until you've combined them all. Serve the sausage hot, sprinkled with 1/4 cup of chopped parsley.

Summary: Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook it for 5 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and cook them until they are translucent and aromatic. Add the cumin, coriander, allspice and chili powder. Serve.


It doesn’t matter what kind of hairspray you use for this glitter-removing process. What matters the most is that you really saturate the power towel so that it’s damp and completely covered. If you’re sensitive to the smell of hairspray, try doing this outside or in a well-ventilated space. Work along your part line and focus on the sections that have the most build-up. Use an up-and-down motion rather than a back-and-forth rubbing motion.  Because the glitter might fall off of the paper towel at some point, try to do this while standing in the shower or over a towel so that the excess glitter doesn’t get all over your home. If the paper towel is covered with glitter and there are no more clean areas available, go ahead and prepare a new paper towel. Once you’ve dislodged most of the glitter from your scalp, go ahead and start working on the rest of your hair. Take the hairspray-soaked paper towel and wrap it around sections of your hair to blot up more glitter. Work in 1 to 2 in (2.5 to 5.1 cm) sections so that you do the most thorough job possible. This may take 10 to 15 minutes, but it’ll really help to dislodge a lot of glitter and make the clean-up process that much easier. Showering will remove whatever glitter is still on your hair, plus it’ll get rid of the hairspray residue. Make sure to massage the shampoo into your scalp really well and thoroughly rinse away all the suds. Glitter and hairspray have the potential to really dry out your hair, so make sure to condition your locks. You could even apply a hydrating hair mask to give your hair some extra TLC.
Summary: Spray a paper towel with hairspray until it is saturated. Blot your scalp with the paper towel to remove glitter. Pat the strands of your hair with the paper towel to dislodge more glitter. Repeat the process until the paper towel is coming away clean. Shower to remove any glitter that remains behind.
