broadcj 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2006 This Saturday is the ACE Hardware 20% off sale. You get one big paper bag and whatever you can fit in it, you'll get 20% off!!!! They have copper wire, bead chains and all kinds of stuff that you can find uses for. Hope you can use this to your advantage. John Madden says it's the best deal of the century. Good Luck, Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 urinal cakes I know I'm gonna regret asking this question :hyst: .....but urinal cakes? do I even want to know what you do with them Daryn? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 I actually get them from the dollar store and just tear open a corner of the package at first then slowly expose more as they were out. I usually put a couple in my tying room. They are made mostly of a chemical called paradichlorobenzene. This will keep all your materials from not only moths but other bugs that are not bothered by moth balls. If you only open them as I described you dont even notice the smell.
