    Ever tried to drill a hole in concrete with a non-hammer drill?

    Ever tried to drill a hole in concrete with a non-hammer drill?

    Try a tile bit and cut it off to make it fit in a 90 degree drill with a chuck, buy a few and expect to burn them up quick. I use a pickup bulb similar to a turkey baster to slowly drip water and keep the bit cool. Use a pry bar to get good consistent leverage on the head of the drill.

    Any clever methods of salvaging spray paint?

    Never tried it with spray paint but I’ve put those one time use Spray texture cans for Sheetrock in bucket of warm water for about 10 minutes before I shake them. That makes sure you get all the product out of the can as I think it mixes easier.
