There are two good reasons to polish your foil. First, it looks much better when polished. More importantly, it reduces the drag through the water, meaning your arms will not get tired as quickly, and you can improve the speed and height of your jumps. Visit http://www.coldlake.com/hydrofoil/cooltips.htm for one method of polishing your foil. You can also use Mothers Aluminum Polish (available at automotive stores) or Flitz (see http://www.flitz.com).

A buff and polish is a procedure that is often done between fills. Your nail technician/manicurist will buff the out growth of the nail product, near the cuticle area, making it blend with your natural nail. Nails are then re-polished. This is a service that is less expensive than a nail fill, and allows you to go longer between fills. Top of page

A polish change is a nice treat to yourself between appointments. Depending on your lifestyle, polish can become "dull" or begin to wear off at the tips of your enhancements. Your nail technician/manicurist will simply remove your old polish and apply fresh, new polish to your nail enhancements. This service is especially popular during the holiday season for those special parties or family gatherings. And of course you can always add nail art with your polish change! Top of page

No single thing can add as much appeal and value to a trailer. It is considered the crowning touch to a restoration.

The wonderful benefit of nail enhancements is that you can wear nail polish with no polish chipping or peeling that often occurs on natural nails. However, the more you change polish color, the more apt you are to have "softening" of the nail product. When removing polish, you are using an acetone based polish remover. The acetone in the polish remover is the product we use most often to remove the nail enhancements from your natural nail.

There seems to be three camps on this subject. One thought is to use a wax sealer, such as Eagle 1 ("waxes as you dry”). Another is to do a light touch-up polish every couple of years, and the other is use a wipe on/wipe off sealing polish, such as the one available from Rolite. All methods have their supporters.

Vulcanite stems can oxidize, turning a disgusting brownish green color. This is one case where "an ounce of prevention" definitely pays off. Avoid exposing vulcanite stems to direct sunlight whenever possible, and wipe off your stems after each use. When oxidation does begin to form, it can often be removed with a mild abrasive, such as baking soda or toothpaste. If the oxidation is too severe for this treatment, jeweler's rouge or an automobile rubbing compound will often do the trick.

For conventional oven baking, the most common folly is to wrap the potato in aluminum foil. Covering the potato holds in moisture, steaming the potato. The result is a less crispy skin and the texture of a boiled potato. The best way to bake a potato is to scrub it, pierce the skin two or three times with a fork, and place the potato directly on the oven rack, at 450°F for 50 to 60 minutes.
