Dry adhesive is trickier. On the Web, you’ll find advice about softening polyurethane glue with denatured alcohol, acetone or more powerful organic solvents. But once polyurethane adhesive cures, it resists the solvents that some websites say to use.

The Air Makeup Units mix and condition the temperature and humidity of air before it is blown into the climate chambers. They use salt water as a dehumidifier and R-30 as a refrigerant.

Double sets of doors with the original leaded glass (pierced by a bullet hole that has never been adequately explained) open to a paneled foyer with a tiger-oak fireplace. To the left, through pocket doors, is a formal living room with a fireplace and built-in wood-and-glass cabinets. A hallway leads to an office and half bathroom.

In your case, the weight of the lamp clearly didn't provide enough clamping pressure, and the base of the lamp was probably less porous than the wood cabinet underneath. So you're left with a lamp base that didn't glue to the Lucite and with Lucite glued to the wooden cabinet. What a mess!

Spend some time at the Container Store or Target looking at storage solutions that might fit well in your space. We use small trays to organize dry goods items in our pantry, and the aforementioned refrigerator bins to pack our clothes. We also only buy cooking gear that is stackable; try the Magma seven-piece nesting set, this colorful nine-piece nesting mixing bowl set, and a five-cup kettle that packs down small, and gets you hot water, fast.

The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape.

Shoppers are enthusiastic about Sally Hansen Insta-Dri 3.0 Nail Color because it truly dries in a flash, comes in an assortment of on-trend colors, and is extremely affordable. The base and top coats are already in the formula, so all you need is a single coat for perfectly gorgeous nails.

Designed for indoor use, the ThermoPro indoor thermometer can read the temperature and humidity level in your home and tell you where the air ranges on a scale from dry to comfort to wet. You can easily set this thermometer on a tabletop and let it stand alone, and there's even a magnet if you'd like to mount it to a metal surface. One reviewer writes: "I love this product (so much so that after I fell in love with the original one I purchased, I bought three more)! I really struggle with my sinuses and never realized how dry it was around me - I worked to ensure that the air around me was more comfortable for me to breathe and it REALLY made a difference."

Not only is it completely waterproof — which makes it great for making candy or deep frying — but the GDEALER digital meat thermometer can read temperatures from -58 degrees up to 572 degrees Fahrenheit. The stainless steel probe is 4.6 inches long so that it can easily reach into things like turkey or whole roasts, and it's even foldable for easy storage.

It’s impossible to say how well the Pure Cool removed air pollution, since I wasn’t scientifically testing it in a sealed chamber with a measurable amount of particulates. Anecdotally, however, my husband and I have been sleeping very well.

That was our reaction when we saw this dish-drying cabinet. It’s really popular in Finland and some other European countries, but virtually unheard of in the U.S.

Check the upper part of the plant too. The bark should be undamaged, and the trunk or branch structure should be sound. Rose plants should have at least three healthy canes. Some herbaceous (non-woody) bare root plants, such as artichokes and asparagus, are sold as funny-looking root balls without any top growth; don’t worry, new leaves will emerge a few weeks after planting.
