Question:

how can i kill my smoke detector?

I just moved into new barracks at my new duty station. I have a Gentex smoke detector that is wired into the wall. It chirps every few seconds and its driving me insane. I really want to tear it off the wall and literally kill it. HOWEVER i dont want to pay for damages or get the fire department over here. I already climbed on top of some furniture to reach it and tried to look for a battery access or whatever to perhapsshut it up, but all i could find is how its attached to the wall. I tried to move the dial from Test1 to Normal but only set it off, Test2 has it chirping faster and more annoyingly. All the other guys i ask say theirs dont even have a green ON light in theirs. how do i shut this darn thing up??? (without damaging it or drawing attention)

Answer:

You are fine. Acetone won't do anything to you just by working with it, unless it went into your eyes accidently.
Yeah, all I have seen a the craft stores are your basic shapes in a single sheet. I think if you just use your imagination, and use the mold release you could use almost anything with a shape you fancy, as long as it is sturdy enough to hold the resin until it hardens, and as I said,USE THE MOLD RELEASE! Just look at things with a new eye, that is what I always do when I am trying to find a new idea. You could make a mold of something you like using a few different ways and then use it as a mold.
