Residing my house and taking off the old aluminum siding. What tricks can I use to find the aluminum nails that "miss" the tarp. Will a metal detector work?

To properly attract aluminum, you need to fabricate a magnet made entirely of wood. Instead of using an electrical current to excite the magnet, you must use very thin bamboo reeds filled with Amazon Hybiscus sap.
errr, speaking of saps... BTW: Filling the bamboo with the Hybiscus sap causes the reeds to react in a very rigid manner during the very early morning hours - hence the term "morning wood". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
