This will only work on some types of mastic, usually in recent homes. It's worth trying first, as wetting the mastic can make other methods safer. You should notice the mastic loosening within 20 to 60 minutes.  Mix the hot water with vinegar or citrus degreaser for extra strength. Old, black mastic may contain asbestos. Keep it wet at all times during removal, to prevent dangerous dust. Once the mastic is wet, try to break it off with a hammer and chisel. If it's soft, scrape it off with a wide putty knife. Use a long-handled edge scraper on floors to save bending over. Some modern mastics or mastics containing linseed oil will soften when heated. However, these are also flammable. Wear heat-resistant gloves and use the heat gun for no more than a few seconds at each spot. Scrape up with a putty knife as you go.

Problem: Article: Before your puppy or adult dog learns to eliminate in his litter box, he’ll need to be able to enter it on his own. You need to teach him that it is a safe, even fun space. Praise the dog for being in the box. Repeat your command, and again, praise your dog and act happy that he is in the box. Keep practicing until you are able to guide your dog into the box while giving the “use the box” command. Once your dog is comfortable being guided into the box, try using only your verbal command. Be patient and don’t repeat yourself. If your dog does not get in, simply walk away and try again later, or go back to guiding. If your dog does get in on command, praise him profusely. Keep practicing until he gets in immediately on command.
Summary: Teach your dog to go into the box on command first. Place your dog in the box and give a command like “use the box”. Wait for your dog to leave, and put him back in. Have your dog enter the box with the “use the box” command alone.

Article: A good relationship is built on open communication. As you and your dad try to foster a healthier relationship, work on talking to him every day.  Find time to talk every day.

You may want to talk to a counselor at your school before talking to your parents. Your counselor can help advise you on how to bring up family counseling, and may even be able to talk to your parents for you. Parents screw up sometimes, and may accidentally pick on their children. However, if your dad is routinely making you uncomfortable, you may be the victim of emotional abuse.

He may not look at you or call you by name. Your dad may prevent you from seeing friends. He may not allow you to have a normal social life. This is to keep you isolated and away from others. Your dad may talk to you in a way that is traumatizing. He may ridicule you or curse at you. He may call you things like "stupid" or "worthless." He may also do things to scare you, like placing a pet or a sibling in a dangerous situation. It's important you tell someone about abuse, as it can be very damaging over the longterm. Emotional abuse may also eventually turn into physical abuse. Tell another adult relative, the parent of a friend, or a trusted teacher or counselor at school what is going on. These adults should be able to find you the resources you need to get away from an abusive situation. If you do not have an adult you feel you can trust, try calling Childhelp USA.
