Latest Moan From You and Me 2025

I've not tried that FC, probably because tapping it nearly always works.

 

Two ways of tapping.

 

Its a little know fact that that works on cans of evo stick as well, just thought I'd mention.

 

I think it is the heat from the hot water causes the metal of the lid to expand faster than the glass of the jar, thereby loosening it. Of course, avoid using boiling water as you might crack the glass which, while technically this would be “opening” it, might not be all that convenient.

 

I knocked one of my wife's ceramic decorations into the ceramic sink in the bathroom. Guess which one is chipped with a couple of large cracks, and which one remains intact?

 

Some years ago we used to cover sheets and sheets with Formica, if you can imagine half a dozen 8x4 sheets coated on both sides and the amount of fumes you can guess I was fairly high at times.

Happy days.

 

Or use a Rubber Jar Opener Gripper Pad/( multi use ) for undoing a jam jar lid. Works perfectly .

 

That reminds me, my Mother who had arthritis in her hands always used a wide rubber band doubled around lids to get them off jars.

 

Imagine working in the Evo Stik factory….

 

Oops!

 

What a lot of people dont realise is the fumes are heavier than air and at the right concentration can be explosive.
So they collect at the low points in a building........... until someone lights a cigarette.

 

Was it ornamental Pyrex.
