Q: Touching your sore with unwashed hands can lead to a bacterial infection, and you could also spread the sores to another area of your body. Use warm, soapy water to wash your hands often throughout the day. When you have a cold sore outbreak, you are highly contagious and the virus can be easily spread to another person. Avoid kissing or having your cold sore come in contact with someone else. Similarly, avoid oral sexual activity during an outbreak. This can risk transmitting the virus and infecting the other person with genital herpes. Do not share drinking glasses, straws, toothbrushes, razors, towels, or other items that have come in contact with someone with cold sores. Similarly, do not share these items with someone else if you have cold sores. Throw away your toothbrush when you have a cold sore outbreak. You can risk continuing the virus if you keep exposing yourself to it through your toothbrush.
A: Wash your hands frequently. Avoid skin-to-skin contact. Avoid sharing certain items.

Q: Use a blue pencil with an eraser. If you cannot find a blue pencil, use a regular pencil with an eraser, instead. Tape is especially useful if you want to create straight lines, and sectioning your illustration off will prevent you from accidentally getting the wrong color on the wrong portion of the illustration. Use acrylic paints and start with colors you know you will use to complete the first section instead of pouring out all the paint at once. This will prevent your paint from drying unnecessarily before use. Use a thin paintbrush to provide yourself with more control.  Remove your painting tape and allow the sealer to dry. Paint and seal the paint using the same method you used for the first section. Repeat as necessary until all sections are complete.
A: Sketch your idea on the wall using light pencil strokes. Use painters tape to section your illustration off. Pour your paint onto a paint palette. Carefully fill in your picture with paint. Wait 24 hours for the first section of paint to dry. Apply an acrylic sealer to the paint. Reapply painters tape to unveil another section of your illustration.

Q: The best way to ensure your surface is clean is to power wash it at a pressure of 2,000 to 2,500 psi. It's always a good idea to test the pressure on your surface, because it can cause damage. You may need to use a lower pressure or another cleaning method if washing at these pressure levels causes damage. Don't add cleaner or bleach to the water when power washing. Another option for cleaning the surface is to brush the dirt away. You will need to use a strong brush, such as a wire brush or sturdy broom, and you may still need to wash it with water or a cleaner when you're done. If you do need to use a cleaner on the surface, pick one that's meant to clean the surface before painting, such as trisodium phosphate which removes oxidation. Apply the cleaner to the surface according to the bottle's directions. Thoroughly rinse the product off so you don't leave any on the surface. The area needs to air dry before you make sure it's clean or try to paint. Leave it to dry out for at least an hour or so, and then perform a tape test to check if it's clean. Put a strip of masking tape on the surface you plan to paint. Pull off the tape and examine the sticky side. If you see dirt or contaminants, your wall needs further cleaning. While elastomeric paint does fill in smaller cracks, you should fill in most cracks with  acrylic or siliconized caulk. Use a caulk gun to fill the crack, and then smooth it out with a putty knife. If you're filling in a large crack, use layers to fill it in, letting it dry in between.  Let the caulk dry overnight. If the caulk isn't flat after drying, sand it down until it is. Avoid using pure silicone caulks. If you're working with a porous or chalky surface, you may need to apply a sealer or primer. Similarly, if you're working with newer masonry (less than a month old), you should also apply a sealer. Apply 1-2 coats to the surface, based on what the manufacturer's instructions say.
A: Power wash the surface for a sure clean. Use a stiff broom or wire brush if you don't have a power washer. Try a cleaner designed for paint preparation if needed. Test for cleanliness after the surface dries. Seal cracks larger than 1⁄16 inch (0.16 cm) with caulk. Apply a sealer as needed.

Q: A HomeGroup is a collection of Windows computers on a network, and is designed to make sharing files and printers between them easier than a traditional network. Only Windows 7 and 8 computers can join a HomeGroup.  Open the Charms menu. You can access this by swiping in from the right side of the screen with your finger or by moving your mouse to the lower-right corner of the screen. Tap or click "Settings". This option has a Gear icon. Tap or click "Change PC settings". This is is located at the bottom of the menu. Tap or click "Network" Tap or click "HomeGroup" Enter in the HomeGroup password and then tap or click "Join". The creator of the HomeGroup can find the password on his or her HomeGroup menu. If there is no HomeGroup detected, then you may not be properly connected to the network. Once you are connected to the HomeGroup, you can print to the shared printer without having to actually install the printer. The PC that is sharing the printer must be turned on to print.
A:
Open the HomeGroup menu. Join the existing HomeGroup. Print to the shared printer.
