This post shows the six steps of applying adhesive on Bissell® Flow Base and attaching the brass sleeve to the clear vinyl tubes. 

1		This picture shows the anvil which the flat surface. The Bissell® Base Flow Indicator Base and the brass compression sleeve. On the right is the Titebond® Super Gel Glue adhesive.
2		Next, apply the Titebond® Super Gel Glue adhesive to the inside of the Bissell® Flow Indicator Base and insert the brass compression sleeve. Use a Flat Tipped Screwdriver to hold on the top of the brass compression sleeve. The tip must be held a minimum 15-seconds.
3		The Bissell® Clear Vinyl Tube on the right is the new repair and will be inserted on the brass sleeve. The one on the left will be inserted on its plastic nipple.
4		Use Needlenose Pliers to press the Bissell Clamps® open and push over the end of the tube. Check to make sure both Bissell Clamps are in the correct location on the Bissell Flow Indicator Base.
5		Here is a side view of the repairs. Notice the Bissel Clamps® are at the top of the hoses.
6		The Bissell® Tube Clear Vinyl hoses were kinked at the bottom of the Black Bissell® Hood Main Housing motor housing. Wrapping electrical tape around the top  of the Bissell® Hood Main Housing will keep the hoses in place. Next two repairs will be the Right Elevator Lever Arm and Bissell® Hood Main Housing.

How to Recycle Damaged Door Hardware

Fig.1 The Tools

By Gary Boutin

Supplies and Tools:
Cordless Screwdriver with Phillip bit
Claw Hammer 
Paint scraper

Mr. Victor Longpont hired my services to remove his garage door that had become damaged after a bad rain storm. The door had not been painted for over 30 years, the bottom of the door was completely rusted.

This post shows the seven steps to recycle the damaged door hardware. 

Step 1: Fig.1 shows the door that has been removed and set on its side.  
Step 2: Fig.2 shows the use of a cordless drill with a Phillip screwdriver bit to remove the latch and door handle from the door.

Step 3: Fig.4 shows the removal of the dead bolt lock assembly. Notice the long metal screw, it's made of brass and so is most of the lock assembly. Use the cordless screwdriver to remove the lock parts.

Step 4: Fig.5 shows the removal of the metal hinges. On this door there were three sets of metal hinges. Using the cordless screwdriver remove each brass screw and save for later. 
Step 5: Fig.6 shows the removal of the aluminum weatherstripping seal that was around the door. Save the metal for later.

Step 6: Fig.7 shows all the metal from the damaged door ready for recycling. The aluminum weatherstripping, brass door hardware for the door handle, screws and dead bolt. The metal door sweep and the aluminum threshold plate will be used to make other materials instead of landing in the waste dump.

Step 7: Recycling is not a money maker, its hard work to separate each type of metal.  Sometimes what looks like brass is plated metal but recycling metal parts is a good a way to keep our environment cleaner.
