Apply and Let Dry

Clang! Another drawer handle falls to the floor.

It doesn’t seem likely that Billy Mays actually uses all the products he shouts about on those mini infomercials. And yet he comes across as so sincere. Oxi-Clean, the Awesome Aug, the Hercules Hook…he touts their innovation, reliability, and effectiveness so well, you’d think he’d have a garage full of these ground-breaking tools and solutions that he makes use of regularly.

Clang! Except for that blasted Mighty Putty.

After over an hour of sawdust, bent screws, and broken drill bits, I realized I needed help installing the drawer and cabinet handles in the kitchen. And then I remembered Mighty Putty. Billy Mays used it to install a shelf that held over a hundred pounds, build a chain that lifted cinderblocks, and connect a pulley that pulled a semi truck. Surely it would secure handles to cabinetry. Just cut it, knead it, apply, and let dry.

Clang! Or not.

I bet I could remove the sticky residue it leaves with Easy Off Bam!, though.
