Individually cut-to-size printed labels are excellent for promotional stickers, giveaways, labeling jobs such as bottles, name tags, coffee bags, and so much more! Small to mid-run projects are ideal for this type of label. These cut out labels are also great for bright colored printing. There is no additional cutting required since you receive them in the size that you need, allowing you to quickly crack and peel. Count on us to know that...Sometimes, a label is everything!
Q. Every year during the winter months, I have a problem with my thumbs cracking at the edge of my thumbnails. It takes weeks for them to heal, and the cracks are very painful. They do not respond to any crack creams or lotions. They clear up on their own only to reappear a few weeks later. They look exactly like a cut, but they hurt a lot more. What can you suggest?
I tried almost every cream and moisturizer for my cracked fingertips, but they provided little help. I started using Finger Care and Liquid Skin with some good results, but the cracks kept coming back.
We recently shared a story from a reader who has type 2 diabetes. She complained of thin fingernails. Her podiatrist recommended a dietary supplement called biotin. To her surprise it also worked for cracked fingertips. You can read her story at this link and read about the pros and cons of biotin.
This honey comes from New Zealand and is purported to have antioxidant and antibacterial activity. Another reader reports that Manuka honey helps heal deep cracks and crevices on his fingers. Learn about this special honey and fingernail cracks at this link.
Wood boards come in two styles, end grain and edge grain, and we considered both for this guide. End-grain boards are made of a number of board ends glued together, and they can be more gentle on knives because the edge slides between the vertical wood fibers. Cuts and other marks tend to close more efficiently, self-healing over time, but the exposed ends also make it easier for end-grain boards to dry out, stain, and crack. Edge-grain boards (like our Teakhaus pick) consist of the sides of boards glued together in alternating strips, with the sides (edges) facing up. These boards tend to be harder on knife edges than end-grain boards, but they also withstand moisture-based cracking and splitting better, and they are easier to clean. (This diagram illustrates the difference between end and edge grain nicely.)
The first version of this guide had a 15-inch Boos Block Chop-N-Slice board as its top recommendation. After seeing a downward trend in Amazon reviews for the board, and learning more about how the wood dries, splits, and cracks, we now recommend a slightly thicker board made from more forgiving materials.
With any concrete, there is always a chance that you will have cracking because of the potential base material shifting, expansion and contraction due to weather, and other aspects. Making relief cuts ensures that you will have the best chance at limiting large cracks.
The following measures can be very helpful if the skin on the nipple is broken for any reason (cracked nipple due to shallow latch, tongue-tie/lip-tie or other anatomical variations, thrush, a bite, milk blister, etc.).
If the nipple is obviously infected, then talk to your health care provider about the possibility of using an oral (systemic) antibiotic. One study indicated that topical antibiotics and good breastfeeding techniques might not be sufficient if infection is present. (See Livingstone V, Stringer LJ. The treatment of Staphyloccocus aureus infected sore nipples: a randomized comparative study. J Hum Lact. 1999 Sep;15(3):241-6.) See also Oral antibiotic use for sore, cracked nipples and Staphylococcus aureus and sore nipples.)Additional informationTreatment of Sore, Cracked, or Bleeding Nipples by Becky Flora, IBCLC
If your blood sugar isn't well-controlled, you can also have poor or no feeling in your feet. You might not even realize you have a minor injury. Diabetes can also dry the skin on your feet and make your heels crack.
After washing, put lotion or petroleum jelly on them to prevent cracking. But not between your toes -- this can lead to an infection! Sprinkle on a nonmedicated powder before putting on your socks and shoes to help keep your feet dry.
Fixing a cutting board that's totally split in two will require a more serious intervention, but if you act quickly even a sizable crack can be fixed in just a day or two. Here's how to do it yourself.
The first thing you should do is clean your cutting board so you have a good surface to work with. If the crack is wide enough, you may also have food particles or something like flour stuck inside. Clean as much of this out as you can without making the crack worse.
While the glue we are using is rated safe for indirect food contact and is non-toxic, you still don't want a bunch of glue all over your cutting board. You can use plastic wrap to line both sides of the crack (just weigh it down with some butter knives or something).
In my case, the crack in my cutting board was a few inches deep and the glue tended to pool at the top. Gravity will draw most of the glue down into the crack so just give it some time to work and then wipe away the excess with a damp cloth. You may need to repeat until the crack is filled.
Once the glue is good and dried (up to 24 hours is recommended) you can remove the plastic and clean off the excess glue. Use sandpaper to smooth the surface. You want the crack to be properly filled and covered, or else water will just get back in and could re-crack the board.
With your board (almost) good as new, protect it with some mineral oil. I used Howard BBB012 Cutting Board Oil, which I also purchased from Amazon. It works great, though you may want to follow the instructions for a first-time treatment to make sure it's properly protected.
Side note: it's recommended you stick to mineral oil for protecting a cutting board. Other oils you may have in your kitchen (like olive oil) can get trapped in the cracks and spoil, leaving a rancid flavor on your food and potentially causing even more problems.
Once you're finished, you should be left with a cutting board that performs as good as new. Be sure to regularly re-apply mineral oil according to the directions on the bottle to keep your board looking and performing great. To prevent future cracks, always clean your board after use and make sure you don't leave any standing water on or under the board.
Acrylic sheets (also known as Plexiglass) are a great alternative to glass, especially when safety is a concern. Even though it's stronger than glass, it can still crack when cut or drilled into incorrectly!
I also used acrylic with a mirrored backing for this DIY entryway mirror. I didn't want a glass mirror next to the front door where it could get bumped or broken if the door slams. This shatterproof substitute works great for picture frames too!
The key to cutting acrylic with a jigsaw is to keep the speed low. If you cut too fast, the overheated blade will melt the Plexiglass and your project will be a mess! Apply a strip of painter's tape to the cut line to prevent cracking. Learn how to use a jigsaw in this tutorial!
For the best results, you may want to support both sides of the cut line to reduce vibrations. Two scraps of 2x4 lumber work great for this. Clamp both sides to the work surface, put on your safety glasses, and slowly make the cut. Then sand down the cut edge to remove any sharp or uneven areas.
To cut acrylic with a circular saw, I recommend picking up a sheet of rigid foam insulation to support the sheet so it doesn't vibrate and crack under the weight of the saw. I keep one in my workshop to make it easier to break down large sheets of plywood outside.
I recommend using wood screws with a head that is flat underneath rather than tapered. This will secure the plexiglass to your project securely without accidentally forcing the bottom of the head into the hole and cracking the acrylic.
The length of green wood logs prepared for bowl blanks does make a difference. Even with the additional preventive measures, we will discuss below, there will be some checks and cracks on the ends of the rough-cut bowl blanks. Cutting logs longer than needed will provide excess waste material on the ends of the log that can be trimmed away later.
When the time comes to turn the log, simply saw off an inch or so from one end. Look at the newly exposed cut area. Are there still cracks? If so, trim off another inch and check, again. Once no cracks appear, do the same trimming on the other end of the log. Now you have a crack-free log to begin turning.
Unevenly turned bowl walls are another contributing factor for the production of bowl cracks. When an area of a wood turned bowl is thick in one area and thinner in another, the two areas dry and move differently. When those movements oppose one another, cracks can form.
Once a bowl, which is made with green or moist wood, is complete and off the lathe, the drying process needs to be controlled. Again, the control that is needed is usually to slow the drying process. A great way to slow the drying time is to bag the finished wood bowl.
Lacquer is a film finish that sits on top of the wood and once sanded off; it will not limit any final finishes you choose to use. The purpose of first using lacquer is to prevent the CA from staining the wood immediately around the wood bowl crack.
This process is best done while the bowl is still on the lathe before final sanding and finishing. Here are the steps to correctly fill a small to medium wood bowl crack and prevent them from growing.
Mix the Two-Part, Five-Minute Epoxy (check Amazon for current price) according to the product instructions in a portion large enough for the given wood bowl crack area. While mixing the epoxy parts, add the color mix and then apply the mixture to the cavity.
Butterfly joints can be applied as well. Often used in furniture construction, butterfly, or bow tie, joints can be hand chiseled and inlaid into the bowl across the crack area. The dovetail shape of this inlay will hold the crack as is and not allow it to continue to grow, all the while appearing somewhat planned and deliberate. 2b1af7f3a8
