Stormy's Notes:

included are uses for the garden, home and work shop.

Directions

~Drive nails easier with less risk of splitting the wood, by first rubbing it on the nail shank.

~Keep garden bugs off plant leaves by mixing it with water and spraying the solution on the leaves' undersides.

~Lubricate the metal rails of sticking desk drawers

~Throw small slivers of soap into liquid soap dispensers to `disintegrate' and provide more liquid soap.

~Handy Substitute for Hemline Chalk: A bar of soap works fine.

~Keep Needles Rust Free: Stick them straight into a bar of soap.

~Remove wallpaper glue by mixing with warm water and sponging it on the walls.

~Turn screws more easily by dabbing it onto the threads.

~Cut a straighter line with a handsaw by coating the blade with soap.

~An Ideal Pin Cushion: Use a bar of soap. Makes sewing easier and needle just slides through hard material

~To Open that Stuck Zipper: Rub the teeth with a bar of soap

~Detect gas leaks by mixing it with water and rubbing it on suspect pipe joints; if bubbles form, you have a problem.

~Place in the rows of a corn patch to deter deer

I've used several of these on your list Stormy and they work great. Have you made a book on this kind of help? Sure comes in handy.

Another 1 years ago a lil old lady told me and it works. But rub a bar of soap preferably Ivory on ring around the collar before you wash.
