====== the curse of plastics ======
- king salomo story \\

- use plastic bags (e.g. from cereals) for (bathroom) trash bin \\
- start seeing plastics as an engineering material and reduce plastic as packaging waste where possible. \\
- 3D printing with plastics: different materials and printing-beds \\
- CNC on plastics or aluminum (not cleaner) can be awesome \\ 
- easy to dremel, but its granulated dust is even worse in road-tire abrasion fine dust. Heavy vehicles and immense breaking and accelerating is worsening it (drive anticipating) \\
- Can we call our current time line material-wise 'samolos plastics'? \\

====== Sticky rubber sweating ======
When you feel that rubber is sticky, then its chemical softeners "sweatened out". Remove greasy stickiness with break cleaner spray. Apply talcum if needed. As dirty quickfix carefully sprinkel with wheat flour and rub off the stickiness. \\

====== sticky velour paint ======
Velour paint on casings like on [[sony_ericsson:start|Sony Ericsson]] K800/W880 can get sticky over years. With Razor Orocchi mouse flour did not work, I had to tediously rub it off with (isopropanol) alcohol, polished afterwards and now have a black shiny hardplastic surface - totally different feel, but not sticky anymore :) \\


====== shiny plastics and polished ======
- use screen protector with water for applying
- cotton dremel power-tool head: always use low RPM with enough polish cream. Too high RPM will create heat and MELT YOUR SURFACE with unremovable burn scars. \\
- polish by head instad with rotating movements and appropriate pressure and screen polish. \\
- everything can be a worse polish: [Caution of microplastics!] Scheuermilch, tooth paste (veries) etc \\
- how2clean dirt: ??citrus acic?? vinegar ??
