It’s scrap booking by Nova Development.
It has a choice "export image". Will that do it?
I’m not sure I want to try it. Because I don’t know if that will get rid of it completely.

Try it.

Can anyone tell me what the value of scrap bronze is? I have 15lbs of bronze cut offs that I want to get rid of. Is there a website that shows the value of this metal by the pound. I have tried to search google, but there isn’t any good information that I can find that isn’t at least 2 years old.

Recycling centers will offer you .60 cents/pound. But if you shop around you can find $1.50/pound.

I have a scrap trading company in Malaysia. Wish to export plastics scarp to india, and looking for potentiol buyers.

All you need to do is find where the buyers are at and then contact a customs broker.

Anyone out there own a small scrap booking store or a consignment store? How much money did your business bring in the first months it opened?

It depends on where your at, and how many people in that area are interested in scrap booking. If you are starting one online, you are going to have REALLY high competition, I don’t have a scrap booking store but just wanted to answer the best I could. I think most scrap booking businesses lose money on their first month.

I have loads of scrap paper, size 8.5"x11". I thought a cool recycle idea would be to cut each piece into fourths and make note pads out of it. What can I use to bind them together?
I am hoping for something that I can find around the house and don’t have to purchase at the hardware store.

Recycled Note-pads

this site tells you how and what to use to make your notepads with things you probably have around the house.

I replaced my old oven. I would like to get $25 out of it by selling it. It would be real easy to just take it to the scrap yard. How much could I expect to get from an electric oven for scrap?

You can expect maybe a couple bucks. If you had more quantity you could get better pricing. For current scrap prices see link below

In addition to the 4500.00 cash for clunkers rebate, what should I expect to be able to negotiate for a scrap value for a 2004 Ford Freestar minivan?

Pricing for salvage/scrap value varies depending on current scrap metal prices. see source below for current auto scrap prices

They cut open the belly to release a lot of water throughtout the home and now are repiring it by putting in new insulation and screwing a piece of scrap paneling to the boards. Under the paneling is exposed insulation.
I am not paying a professional. The maintenace men in the park are fixing it at no charge

While the paneling would be strong enough to hold just insulation… it is not a vapor barrier! A mobile home NEEDS that vapor barrier to prevent moisture from entering the home from underneath.

I have made repairs like this myself, MANY times… there is NO REASON why it should not be done properly.

Whatever caused the leak in the first place should be repaired.
All of that wet insulation should be replaced (as stated).
The underbelly should be resealed wherever it was cut open, replaced if necessary. Underbelly plastic can be purchased at any mobile home supply company. Let me re-emphasize, it needs to be SEALED.

Whenever I have had to cut into the underbelly, I have always stitched the flaps of underbelly back together with a HIGH quality duct tape, and then used contact adhesive (applied to the new patch, and the underbelly seam) to glue the new piece over the cut. Never rely on just duct tape, and make sure that the glue has flashed off before attaching the new piece over the seam. The duct tape helps hold the seam together, while the glue is applied to both pieces. I have seen repairs where a service tech used only duct tape, and in 6 months, it was down. Your repairmen will tell you that the scrap paneling will hold better than any duct tape… and it will… but it will not seal out the moisture that naturally comes up from under the home. You should have a properly sealed patch over the hole or seam cut into the underbelly.

I will go one step farther… if you do not have a vapor barrier on the ground, you should. Plastic sheeting (6mil) is fine for this. Black plastic will help stop plant growth under it (blocks any sunlight that might enter the space), and it too needs to be glued at the seams, where it will be overlapped.

The repairmen will groan or complain when you tell them this, because it is more work, and if not done properly, can be messy. If the home belongs to the park, you may not want to argue with them about it, because it will be their own property that is damaged in the long run… if this is YOUR home, however, then you should insist on it being repaired properly.

Good Luck

Is there a certain process you go through to buy scrap metal? How would I go about buying scrap aluminum by the tons and shipping it overseas? Does anyone have any experience with this?

for scrap metal prices and information go to Demolition, scrap Metal and Salvage News http://www.demolitionscrapmetalnews.com

I have a garbage can full of scrap lumber (2×4’s & 2×6’s) most less than 24" in length. I have a table saw, circular saw, miter saw and a drill. I also have some scrap 3/4" plywood. What are some things I can make with this wood?

I hate to see this wood go to waste when I could use it to practice my carpentry skills and possible make something usefull out of it.

Thanks for all your ideas.

I haven’t read any answers yet, but offer this suggestion, and TOTALLY relate.

Better to have a plan first, and assess the lumber available to build an item, or various items in a choice, based on needed material first.

It makes little sense, to me at least, to use scrap, simply to use it, for an item you may not have a use for at all.

Certainly as Practice, scrap is the way to go, but some notion of practical application, might also be a thought.

"Guesstimate" the amount of scrap versus some choices of what you might most be able to use, or need practice fabricating, and proceed.

If your intent is primitive items, or items that may not matter aesthetically, then wack away. If you have more formal practice in mind, IE: various JOINT types, finishing techniques, the way tools function with various wood species, then even if you trash the scrap, you may have accomplished a set goal.
