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.

Usually when you buy a product,
if you are not sure about the product, you ask the person working at the counter or
you read the message on the product and buy it.

Sorry it took me so long to reply.
Thank you all 🙏

Of course I will ask on the sales floor. But they recommended something not for furniture. At the time I bought it as I was told. So I asked here. When I go to a home center, I have my own place and I think I have some knowledge, but sometimes there are some who do not.

Thank you for the detailed and specific advice, ignorant ！ I will be careful when I apply it.

pooske, thanks for even linking to the product ！ I forgot about Youtube. I would like to buy it on homedepot.

thank you very much ！

It seems that if you apply a thick coat at once, the inside of the coating does not dry out and becomes sticky.
The trick seems to be to apply thin coats and let them dry completely, and repeat, well, the same as other people's comments. Another idea is to lay down a plastic or acrylic board.

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.

Monkey Pox can infect anyone who is a person.

Don't make wild assumptions.

It is a contact infection. So I don't think it's a problem to make a fuss
about.

I don't know if .me has arrived, but 9tsu itself has been around for over 10 years.

But you should look at it on an iOS device, like an iPad, because you get 50,000 pornographic popups on a Windows computer

I put them in organic bags that I buy myself for a week and throw them in the green waste can on the day of garbage collection.

When we followed the directions, it smelled bad and had maggots in it. We have been tying the garbage bags tightly shut before throwing them out, and we only put lawn clippings and weeds from gardening in the green area, boxes, cans, bottles and PET bottles in the recycle area, and all food scraps and regular garbage in the trash area. I put all food scraps and regular garbage in garbage bags and throw them away in the trash.

Internet Connection How much per month ❓ - T Mo's Home 5G should not be

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

Time Warner → Spectrum since I moved into my current house 23 years ago.

My cell phone is T-Mobile, so I get advertisements for internet access, but

I'm not a full-time customer, so I have no intention of switching no matter how cheap.

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

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.

If you are unsure, just earn it. Any way you can. You don't understand that you are in a situation now where you have to worry because you have never taken any action just to say you are worried. But there are many people like this, or rather most of them, and they never act.

Trial to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law

Trial for amendment of Article 11 of the Nationality Law
Under the current Japanese Nationality Law, a person "automatically" loses Japanese nationality if he/she voluntarily acquires the nationality of another country.
Now, plaintiffs residing in Switzerland and other countries are fighting in court to amend this. I think this is an important trial for those of us living in the US.
There is a petition campaign on change.org to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law. Currently, about 43,000 votes have been collected, but it would be great if more people would sign the petition. The next trial will be held in September. By the way, I am an individual and not a member of this association.
