Hi. In a previous issue of Popular Mechanics I recently read an article on different uses of common products. There were five ideas, right now I can only remember two of them: one was putting grass clippings in a flat bicycle tire to give it enough buoyancy to get you home and the other was wrapping dental floss (preferably the waxed variety) around the threads of a bolt as a replacement for thread-locker. When I think of the other three ideas I will write them down. Thankyou.
