Since I live in California, I thought it would be fun to start a new hobby, gold dusting. My question is, do you know of any places in OC where I can pick up gold dust ？?

People who are good at DYI

Question

Hi ！ I have a question to ask for the wisdom of someone who is good at DYI.

If the surface of a table or desk has become bumpy due to deterioration, I would sand it and apply some sort of varnish, but I am looking for a way to avoid a sticky surface after completion.

I can't say it well, but I want to avoid a situation where the paper sticks to the surface when I put it down to write, or the paint temporarily sticks to each other.

I wish I could lay something down, but it is difficult to find a material that is perfect and easy to work with.

If you have any information on how and what to use, please let me know 🙏

Any other ideas are welcome.

Right now I just want to get the surface of the coffee table clean and ready for study.

Thank you very much.

The title is wrong too... It's embarrassing 😅I wrote it while saying Do it yourself...

Sorry for my question. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it wasn't dry, but it was sticky. ？

For example, when I want to buy a house and go to look at it, it looks beautiful but the paint is painted and it sounds like it is peeling off when you open and close the drawers and cabinets. I feel that the paint I am using is not suitable for what I want to use it for, but the question is ？ what should I use for what I want to do?

I am thinking without the second one about putting vinyl on it. It would be inconvenient to lose the hardness of the table for something like writing.

As #4 says, it would be better to read the usage instructions, but I think it is easy to recommend the wrong product in the first place.

I would buy new but I have memories and would like to use it if possible. Only the table top is deteriorating. It seems that there have been many times when water was spilled and not wiped up immediately.

I know that the method of number 4 is to file it properly first, then stain and finish coat ？ (the filing method is very helpful 🙏)

When you did the DIY coffee table Can you tell me what products you used ？ 🙏 🙏.

It doesn't say whether you are painting with a brush or using a sprayer, which is it?

I mainly use spray paint when painting small areas such as furniture and accessories. Spraying seems to be easy, but it is more difficult than painting with a brush. You have to spray from the outside of the object to be painted, passing through it at an absolutely even speed and stopping the spray after it has completely passed through. If the object is diagonal or vertical, run the spray thinly and never apply it thickly. If you apply the paint too thickly, the paint will drip there.

For table tops, apply a final coat of clear paint evenly to make the finished product shine like a glass surface.

Painting is difficult. If you make a mistake, you have to wait for the paint to dry completely before sanding again.

Painting walls, on the other hand, is a completely different method, mainly with a roller rather than a brush, which is faster and more extensive, but also takes some time to get used to. Recently, I had to repaint the entire bathroom ceiling because it had turned black due to partial mold growth caused by moisture.

I don't want to be an old man like him.
In general, wall paint and roller paint are two totally different things

There are two main types of paint: water-soluble and enamel paint.　For walls, I use water-soluble paint, but for furniture, I use enamel paint
Before painting, mix the paint well with a stick. If you don't do this, the paint will be sticky forever.
Let it dry in a well-ventilated place. If it dries a little, you can use a fan. Repeat several times. If you apply two coats before it dries, it will be sticky forever
And it should be fine.　By the way, the material is wood ？.

Polyurethane. I think semiGloss is a good choice.

The price of yakisoba, ramen and other fresh noodles has skyrocketed to an extraordinary level.
Compared to before, the price of dried noodles is at most 1.5 times higher, but the price of fresh noodles is almost 3 times higher.

Where do you use it and how much do you pay for it ？

spectrum has gone up every year to $80/month but I had no other choice

but recently I signed up for T-Mo's 5G home internet for $50/month
.
I had a lot of problems It was not stable for about 2 weeks
Then it was stable for about a month

Then after about 2 months it was unstable again
I called every time I had a problem
I became a regular customer

I always get an upgrade now.
I always get through to tech support, usually in Asia （ Philippines, Malaysia, etc.
Finally, I became a regular enough to know what I'm dealing with next

4 ， 5 Last month, after a month, it got even slower
I was almost always open with speed …

I couldn't even send a simple email
and there were times when I couldn't even send a simple email
I gave up and went back to spectrum （ but it's now $50/month for a year ）

T-Mo is finally planning to add a new 5G tower, but
they are flat-packed and it will take 2 ～ 3 months

but still, why so little broadband?
where are you using and how much do you pay per month ？

the secret to negotiating the price ？ is

Taxes, health insurance, etc. in Japan and the U.S.

Question

I currently hold US citizenship. To take care of my parents at home, I am an employee of an American company, but I am planning to move to Japan in the next year or so to work remotely for a few years.
So I have a few questions and would appreciate it if anyone knows anything about this. First, I am planning to cancel my health insurance through my company. ？

Is the income for joining the Japanese National Health Insurance based on the calculation that I have no income in Japan? ？ If I use my income in the U.S. as a guide, the premiums may be high.

If anyone is familiar with this situation and would be willing to share links to information, I would appreciate it.

I am in a similar situation, based in Japan. I am staying in Japan with residency status.

As others have said, Non Resident is not subject to the penalty for not having health insurance.


National Health Insurance premiums are determined by your income in Japan in the previous year.
We also report zero income in Japan because our income is derived from a U.S. corporation that we operate ourselves. The annual premium is 15,000 yen.
I put that in the remarks column on my Japanese tax return, and I am prepared to submit my U.S. tax return whenever there are instructions to do so, but so far I have not received any requests to do so.

15 I only wrote the facts.

It's not up to the person who wrote it to decide if it's fact or not.
Only the person who reads it decides whether it is fact or not.

16 If a US citizen lives in Japan and files a tax return in Japan,
he is not obliged to file US taxes.

Americans are not exempt from filing taxes anywhere in the world.
