Using a propane blow torch on plastic is a common hack to restore the finish This works because the heat slightly melts the surface, which smooths out scratches and scuffs. It gives it a refreshed “new” glossy look This is widely used on plastic trims on trucks If you don’t move the flame quickly and evenly then too much heat in one spot will melt, warp and burn holes in the plastic It works best on polyethylene or polypropylene bed liners It does release fumes that can be dangerous

A good aluminium polish works by removing microscopic oxidation from the surface of the metal. The smoother the finish gets, the clearer the reflection becomes. That can be both impressive and mildly distracting.

I’d say this is the fastest glass surface I’ve ever used. Premium uncoated glass with a glide so smooth it feels like my mouse is floating on a pillow. Testing is still underway. 🛌

This woman was promoting a new kitchen product she likes. It’s a kitchen torch. You can use it to cook or melt cheese and even weed the lawn. Here she is searing a steak making a carne asada. The product seems a little extreme but maybe that’s why people like it. Would you use anything like this in your home or does it just seem a little dangerous to use inside the house?
