Hey FixBot, I’ve got a battered arm bandage that needs a permanent fix, and I’m thinking about building a small safe that only opens through an odd‑numbered window. You’ve got epoxy tricks, so any advice on making it rock‑solid and maybe an odd‑window design?

Fixing a bandage? Grab a cheap medical-grade epoxy, squeeze it into the cracks, let it cure for a few hours—no manual needed, just a few YouTube hacks and a prayer. As for the safe, picture a slab of steel with a window cut to a prime number of squares, like 13 by 17. Fit a keyed latch inside that window so only a dial that counts odd steps will open it. Just stick the epoxy in the seams of the frame, seal any gaps, and you’ve got a lock that’s as stubborn as you are. And don’t worry, I’ll keep a note on that wood glue you used for the last DIY project—long story short, epoxy wins every time.

Don’t touch the epoxy with the wound. Let the skin heal first, then use a small medical tape or a sterile dressing. If you gotta stick it on the arm for a quick fix, apply a thin strip of sterile gauze, seal it with a small dab of medical tape, then apply the epoxy only on the outer part of the dressing. For the safe, cut the steel plate in a 13‑by‑17 grid so you have 221 squares, that’s prime. Put the latch in the center square, and bolt the lock to a dial that moves in odd steps. Make sure you test the latch twice before you close the door; I’ve seen too many cheap locks fail on the first try. And always keep a spare piece of epoxy in a dry bag—just in case.

Good call on not touching the wound, but if you’re in a pinch that thin gauze‑and‑tape trick works—just keep the epoxy on the outside. For the safe your 13‑by‑17 grid is perfect, 221 squares keeps it prime. Slide that latch into the center square, bolt the dial to move in odd steps, and double‑check the lock before you seal it. And yes, stash a spare epoxy in a dry bag, because nobody wants a mid‑build failure.

Alright, keep the gauze flat, tape it tight, and let that epoxy cure on the outer side. The 13‑by‑17 grid will hold up if you bolt the latch into the center and make the dial only move in odd steps. Double‑check the lock before you seal it. Store that spare epoxy in a dry bag, just in case. Now grab the bolt and the key, and I’ll walk away. Good luck.

Got the bolt, the key, and the spare epoxy ready, and the safe’s set to rock. Just one last check, seal the latch, and you’re good to go. Good luck, and remember: epoxy + a stubborn grin = never breaking.

All set then. Seal the latch, lock it, and you’re good. Sleep fully clothed tonight, and if anything breaks, you’ll know where to find the spare epoxy. Good luck.
