Bloxygen keeps old oil-based paints, varnishes and stains looking like new

 

NEWS – Have you ever gone back to use leftover paint or stain to touch up a recent project only to find that it’s unusable? It’s not only frustrating, but it can also be expensive. Bloxygen is a paint and finish preservation spray that keeps oil-based paints, varnishes, and stains in freshly-opened-can shape and looking like new.

To use Bloxygen, spray it inside an open can for 2-4 seconds depending on the size (quart or gallon) and how full it is. Close the lid immediately and seal tightly.

It works using argon gas. Since argon is 25% heavier than oxygen, it creates a barrier between the liquid and damaging oxygen or moisture inside the paint can. This prevents oil-based paints and finishes from hardening, yellowing, or skinning-over.

It can lengthen the lifespan of some paints or finishes to 10 years or more.

Argon is also an inert gas so it won’t react with any other chemicals and it ’s non-flammable.

A single can of Bloxygen is good for 75 uses with quarts or 37 uses with gallons.

Bloxygen costs $12.45 per can and is available on Amazon.

Understands are one-of-a-kind wood stands for iMacs

NEWS – Apple’s iMacs are designed to be the pinnacle of a high tech lifestyle. But there’s something a little cold about all that brushed aluminum and angular lines. Understands desk stands bring the warmth of nature to your iMac. They are made out of urban wood which is another name to describe salvaged wood from downed trees in local areas. Instead of sourcing their lumber from distant places, Understands uses these local logs to create one of a kind stands and shelves for the Apple iMac and other computers.

Made of Ash and Walnut, the wood stands are handmade so no two will look the same. They come in versions with or without a built-in drawer and are priced starting at $109. They are available at Understands.com and we’ll have a full review of one of their stands coming soon.

Forget smart lighting. Add Star Trek phaser-controlled lighting to your home!

NEWS – Remember in The Enemy Within episode from Star Trek TOS when Mr. Sulu and the landing party were stuck on Alfa 177, where the temperatures were dropping to -120°?  They survived by heating stones to glowing, hot heat generators with their phasers as they huddled nearby under their survival blankets.  Well, the Star Trek TOS Phaser-Controlled Rock Mood Light won’t keep you warm, but it will light your room, and you’ll use a phaser-like remote to control it.

The lamp has a rock-shaped shell with LEDs inside.  In “survival mode”, the lamp will glow red so long as you “fire” the phaser at it (complete with firing sounds), and it will dim down when you stop firing the phaser.  The lamp also has an “atmosphere mode” which lets you have the rock glow one color, cycle through all available colors quickly or slowly, glow with maximum brightness, or dim over a period of ten minutes to help you drift off to sleep.

The IR remote looks like a Type-1 phaser from the first season of TOS; it has an IR range of 10 feet.  The rock stands 7.3″ tall x 6.7″ wide x 6.3″ deep and is powered by battery or with the included USB cable.  You’ll even get a Starfleet standard-issue emergency survival blanket.  The lamp is an officially-licensed Star Trek: The Original Series merchandise and is an SDCC ThinkGeek exclusive from The Wand Company.

The Star Trek TOS Phaser-Controlled Rock Mood Light  is $69.99 at ThinkGeek.
