What can also affect the trend in 10 years will be gaz pricing... if the demand for gasoline drop drastictically because of electric cars, then it would encourage us to keep our old rigs !

On this new year's day, I was wondering if any vandwellers out there, think about what will happen in a few years, when electric automotive will take the place of gasoline vehicules ? Here in Canada, it's already known, that 2035 is the year where no more gasoline cars will be sold (truck and...

How can I tell which kind of plastic I have ???  Already heard that not all kind of plastics can be work the same way. I will make a few test like triyng to have some plastic dust  soak in acetone, if so, i then can ''weld'' it with acetone ( just my toughts)
