I am in the process of building a box and I wanted to use plastic to build it. I want to find a plastic that is strong, yet light weight and durable. The design calls for thinner sheets of plastic. So my question is what type of plastic is strong, thinner, lightweight, and still on the cheap side, and where would I be able to buy this plastic?
you can just use painters drop cloths.... my dollar store has them... they are huge. a hardware or building sotre has them, but they are 7 - 8 $ each which still isnt bad...but check out dollar stores first and save a bundle. you can buy fabric ones but they are like 22$ for 2 and will cover only two pieces of furniture, i would go with plastic.... And tarps, arent thin enough or pliable enough to mold to furniture effectively, they will be constantly slipping off, plus you will pay more and have to buy more.
Plastic sheets generally have poor sound insulation properties compared to other materials like wood, concrete, or specialized soundproofing materials. However, their effectiveness can vary depending on the thickness and density of the plastic sheet. Thicker and denser sheets tend to provide better sound insulation. Additionally, adding additional layers or combining plastic sheets with other sound-absorbing materials can improve their overall sound insulation capabilities.
Yes, plastic sheets are generally resistant to scratching from pets or sharp objects due to their durable and tough nature.
Gardening tips
Depending on how tall the plant is... Low lying plants can take the plastic with bricks or rocks holding it down around the plants. If they are taller plants like foot-tall tomato plants (shame on you for planting this early, lol), then the absolute best thing I have found to use is upside down turned plant pots placed over top of the plants (screw into the soil about 1/8th or 1/2 inch deep so that no air gets in around the base. I have also used empty milk jugs with the lids and most of the top cut off. Just set over top of plants and push into soil a little bit. If your plants are too tall already and you don't have any empty containers big enough to comfortably hold the plant inside, most veggie and flower plants can stand a little stress (by cramming them (just LIL bit) into the pot). The right kind of Stress actually makes most plants stronger and more resilient to future stresses and/or diseases. Hope this helps.
Sometimes when there is heavy rain, water seeps into the basement through cracks in the walls and floor. We do have french drains and a sump pump. We tried to place plastic sheeting along one side of the house. Previously, there was some green algae growing on that side. Now the entire side is covered in green algae. What should we do?
How about putting extensions on the gutter spouts so they move the excess run off water away from the foundation. The plastic will not keep the water from getting onto the basement. Since the plastic is NOT sealed to the ground water will flow under it and continue into the basement. Also, find and seal any cracks in your foundation. You can also hire a professional to waterproof the entire foundation. However, if you have a high water table in your area the water will come up from under the foundation during heavy rains.
Yes, plastic sheets are generally safe for food contact as long as they are made from food-grade materials that are free from harmful chemicals and toxins.
Hi guys! I once saw a plastic sheet with milky color. When coveredagainst a dark background plate, one can write on it with an ink-lesspen. But when the pastic is taken off the background plate, the handwritingdisappears. Do you know what it is and where I can buy it?
the front sheet is an opaque pvc over a dark blue card with blue wax over it. when you write on the pvc it presses the pvc onto the wax and the text appears, pulling the pvc away from the wax removes the image and resets the tablet.
Yes, plastic sheets can be used for greenhouse glazing. Plastic sheets such as polycarbonate or polyethylene are commonly used materials for greenhouse coverings due to their durability, light transmission properties, and cost-effectiveness. These sheets can provide insulation and protection for plants while allowing sunlight to pass through, creating a suitable environment for growth.
