Don't do the WD40 if you are serviced by a biological sewage treatment plant. Probably no big deal in the city but it really fucks with the bugs in the small plans. They are usually discharging into a small river so fairly concentrated.

I would strongly advise against dumping a whole can down your drain, but even if every single household spritzed all their toilet bowls with it once a week (no one cleans their toilets more than once a week) you're still talking about dilution factors of many, many millions. The average American family uses 300 gal/day.

@Timberridge: Man I had 10 days of antibiotics about a month ago and it was clearly a microbiome mass extermination event, I envy you.

tmi?

Speaking of. I'm in a good place lately. Last month or so it's been about 3 wipes and I'm done. I think my microbiome is locked in.

So jealous.

Man, that sucks. I've been there guys.

I know this can't last forever so I'm trying not to mess it up and I've been pretty much been eating the same things for a month now.

Scrubbing with a pumice stone will also take that stuff off without harming the porcelin and leave the bowl sparkling like new. More work than spraying with WD40, though.

Pumice stones (available at any hardware store and probably grocery stores) are the real hack for cleaning accumulated stains on toilet bowls, they work amazingly well. And I think less work, given you only need to do it every several months, versus having to spray the bowl constantly.

Been doing mine in the clothes dryer the last couple years. 15-20 mins on high heat works great. If they look all fat and floppy when you take em out you’re good. Def safer than the oven imo, especially if you don’t have a convection oven, hot spots.

Really? Obviously just the liners get them good and floppy then toss in the baked shells fresh out of the oven and strap em on for 10-15 minutes?

I’ve done the rice thing to warm the liners before and it was kind of a pain in the ass.

Be curious to know if anyone else has had success this way or if it’s really better to heat liners, insert in cold shell and buckle up for 10 mins.... then bake shells and put newly molded liners in and buckle up for 10 more mins.

I’m ALL about saving time and getting these tight ass boots feeling like my comfy old ones.

Our shit plant serves about 300 homes, most part time resident. You wash one stain brush in the sink and it fucks with the ecology. I'm no expert and this is at 8K ft and very low water temps but it does fuck with the bugs.

So...eat pumice stones for proper toilet microbiome?

[Danno]

Damn... I so badly want to start a satire thread...... must resist......

sure, just don't start a parody thread, because those suck.

[Danno]

what's all this about baking shells? Liners I get, but shells?

[Timberridge]

This would be the perfect time for KQ to post a baked stuffed shells recipe.

Think he's pondering the cheezy "Melt fit" technique because boot fitters are expensive. It'll be funny if a boot fitter chimes in to suggest grinding hot spots with a pumice wheel, like sum 70s plug shells.

goddammit.

That is definitely about as small as municipal WWTPs get.

A spritz of WD...

As long as it's not a mist. Or a toot.

Zuerst mit den spritz.

Dann mit den toot.

Und letzt mit den mist.

Scheisse!

My Hawx shells were heat moldble and done at same time as liners.

But most ski boots don't/haven't.

You're going to want to put a big ice pack around the shells while you're still in them if you do heat them though.

Or, I don’t have local access to a TRg approved boot fitter. And heat molding is how these Sollys work - shells and liners.

Bonus points to the first mag to heat mold boots and liners by preheating their entire boots in a clothes dryer. Please video this if you try it.

[riser4]

Ya, I have Hawx Magna 130s. Moldable. You have to be careful. I think the heels came out a whisker sloppy, however the toebox is spot on. It's a nightmare punching the toebox for my feet, so I'll take it. Happy feet.

Parody! That's what you called it! Okay... still resisting.....

Yanno, never been a fan of stuffed shells.

sounds a lot like using a dry cleaner to reglue skins.

That’s a stud finder too far.

I think.

Yep, from memory about 12K galls average daily use and 37K max

You got the Solly Chollys? Or Solly Mahles?

Mahles are go-fast go-to.
