Would a shape-guiding form get you to actually try needle felting, or does it defeat the purpose?](https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/1w10r9z/question_would_a_shapeguiding_form_get_you_to/) _2026-08-28 · /u/Joypokdiy_ I've been messing around with an idea and I can't tell if it's useful or if I'm solving a problem that doesn't exist. The idea: a hollow form you pack wool into and poke through. When it comes out, the proportions, symmetry and density are already right. Small molds do the same for ears, paws, tail and face. Everything after — coloring, expression, details — is still by hand, and it still takes a… ## [Looking for advice on sealing a concrete warehouse floor](https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/1w0zckn/looking_for_advice_on_sealing_a_concrete/) _2026-08-28 · /u/SaltMarshGoblin_ (I'm not asking for brand names, as I see that's against sub rules, just what type of substance to use, since there are so many types!) I live in a 100 year old warehouse space and I need to seal the concrete floor so I can keep it clean, mop it, and not stress if I spill something. My landlord says no to paint but is ok with some kind of sealant/polish.

The screw/bolt just spins endlessly and never tightens. I contacted the seller, but they’re taking a long time to send a replacement part, so I’d rather just buy the correct hardware myself and fix it. \*\*Pictures attached: https://imgur.com/a/L8bKLQw\\\*\\\* The… ## [Help with diy furniture project](https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/1w0smou/help_with_diy_furniture_project/) _2026-08-28 · /u/SpoopyGhoul990_ Hello. I got some chairs for free to redo. Two are normal wood and I’m not changing that. The other two are painted an obnoxious blue. I have put three coats of paint stripper on them (the citrus one) and the paint will come off a little bit with scraping but in other spots is just disappearing. Other spots it won’t come off. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but it’s so irritating. I just want… ## [Best solution for opposing weeds on a flagstone stairway?

The juniper died catastrophically and weeds ruled the show for two years. We've installed a little wall and mulched the adjacent garden bed for now, but the flagstones are all surrounded by dense weeds and grasses. I have to shovel this nightmare every winter sometimes with 2 ft of snow, so i'm cautious to put down a… ## [What’s the cleanest way to remove drywall section (to access behind it) and then replace it with minimum repair?](https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/1w0pz6j/whats_the_cleanest_way_to_remove_drywall_section/) _2026-08-28 · /u/sofakng_ I need to get access behind a section of drywall in my finished basement. I think I’ll need an area about 3’ x 2’ to remove. Should I cut the piece at a 45 degree angle so I can put it back with a 1x2 backing board? …or should I cut it at the nearest studs and then just screw the piece back on? submitted by /u/sofakng \[link\] \[comments\] ## [Fix a slippery garage floor](https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/1w0oyju/fix_a_slippery_garage_floor/) _2026-08-28 · /u/1D10TErr0r_ The previous owners of our house had an epoxy floor installed at some point and It seems that whomever installed it didn't put down any anti slip.
