help with burn marks

[potatorage]

I have these penny size burn marks in my hardwood floor, they are the plank type and are light colored. the burn mark is about 1/6 in deep. How do I cover them up?

 

[maxkillz]

what were they caused by and uh...idk play-doh?

IMO I think a nice rug will do

 

[potatorage]

well... they're covered up with a rug for now... but I don't think that's permanent... They were from flaming pieces of phr803t

 

[maxkillz]

lol i've got to hear the whole story ;D ;D as for covering it uh if it's not too deep sand it, smooth it down and refinish the floor?

 

[bugattidude]

if its black where its burned still... probly scrape that out n fill it with white wax?

Take a piece of hardwood of a similar color as the floor and drill several holes in it. Mix the "sawdust" with some whiteglue and use as a filler... This quick fix has saved my butt many times

Last resort is to take a chisel and remove all traces of the burn leaving a nice crater. At least you could tell your parents you "dropped the vise" or something...

Well, I was cooking up some phr803t on my kitchen stove, and to my suprise it ignited. I kinda moved it too fast and pieces of sled flew everywhere, burnign stuff...

What did you do to make your holes? I think I'll do that, but my parents are uhh... very protective of their house so that would be bad...

What on earth would you want to do that for?

Just a shot in the dark here.. But wouldnt keeping the pyro tendancies in the garage be a good idea?? Fires can get out of control very quickly, I dont think doing this in your house is very wise :-X

Some are Lead styphnate ;D Most of the burns are actually nitric acid burns... Thank god my parents aren't reading this forum ;D


Next time(if there is one) do your pyro stuff outside... Don't do it in/near something that you don't want burned down...

What method did you use? I sure could use some of that! The problem is, I don't want to inhale the fumes.

@potatorage: Good luck. I wish I could help.

When I was younger, I actually disassembled shotgun primers to get it out. As I "advanced", I used acetone(IIRC) to dissolve it out... I've been out of the pyro scene for a bit now so I don't quite remember. I'm pretty sure it was acetone though...

I meant the nitric acid, actually. I know of many ways to make it, but none of them seem safe.

I bought my nitric acid There is no safe way of homebrewing it. The stuff I used was around 90% pure and there isn't any easy way to get it that pure with homebrew equipment.

TBH, you shouldn't be fooling around with this stuff unless you have parental permission. One drop of this stuff is enough to eat the tip of your finger away and possibly much more. Actually, I once found a acid burn hole in the crotch area of my jeans, 1 more inch or so and it would have been unpleasant to say the least...
