You did show how to replace the striker/piston, but you did not show if this repair works???

Very useful. Thank you.

Acetone works much better and doesn't shrink, unless you mix it too thin. Problem is, thousands of very small bubbles form from a chemical reaction after it starts curing. Vacuuming wont work. This mix works for cold casting, but not for low temp metal or wax casting. The bubbles expand from the heat. I've been using straight silicone caulk for 40 years, as a bronze sculptor, with perfect results every time. One must, just, do it properly. Michael

Hey great vid! Thanks! One question. I see your rav 4 has all thr same lights on that mine does!!!! And it triggers as bank 1 sensor 2... I've replaced it and still does same thing.

How about: How to add UV protection?

A new Autel programmable sensor is $25. This definitely isn't worth it.

Can i use any household materials like alcohol or vinegar to thin down silicone? Are there any cheaper alternatives?

Can I use RTV silicone. They use it for gaskets so I know its good for high Temps.

Can i use a paint thinner?

Can i use paint thinner?

i just tried using paint thinner and it never mix with silicone. i put it in a plastic bottle with marbles and shake for minutes nothing happens. lesson learned just use mineral spirit

But it will shrink in the mold after.?

Rubbish, using mineral spirits/ white spirits will NOT let the silicone cure, hence why the results wasn't shown in the video The best way to make your own mould with builders silicone is to just use the luke warm water with dish washing soap added method. So don't waste your time & money using the mineral spirit or the corn starch method, they don't work if you want a usable mould.

Thanks for your information If i replace the battery do i have to go to dealership for reprogramming Or will the circuit board remember the code??

Can i paint my van windows to create molds for cardboard cut outs?

Gee-Whizzers take note. I'm 79 yrs old and myself, et al the world, didn't have this crap on cars for over a century. We got along just fine without them. Your eyes, the steering wheel, your car will tell you if you need to check the tires. This is a California-NASA-EPA-BS-Madison Avenue-internet-brainwashed-gimmick foisted upon Americans sheep (whoops, I meant "citizens") to make you even less educated and willing to pay more for "JUNK."

I bought a Mazda 3 without TPMS. So can I get the TPMS feature just by buying and installing a TPMS sensor that has been programmed for the Mazda 3?

my application is that I need to make custom silicone rubber straps for some of my scuba diving equipment. I need the straps to be around 1/16" thick, and I need to dye the silicone to custom colors. With this technique, I should be able to level a flat pan and then pour the thinned out, dyed silicone into the pan to the desired depth of 1/16" and then when it cures I will have suitable silicone rubber sheets that I can then slice down to my desired width and length! Thanks so much for this video. This was the part of the process I was missing!

A mixing tip: you can stir forever and get frustrated, or you can put the silicone and the spirits into a plastic bag and squish it into submission. And have fun doing it too. The thicker parts are easier to target and squish into the spirits. And there is no doubt if it is fully mixed.

ia it not easier to buy a replacement. alrhough i understand why someone would want to replace the battery

thank you for showing this, so many application in the kitchen and bathroom to water proof small cracks and seams.

Thank you. I plan on mixing clear silicone with mineral spirits ans soaking flower blossoms in it. I will then set the flower out to dry. After the flowers 💐 🌸 are dry, I will glue the flowers onto a piece of wood to make a painting.

Hello theDiYwizard! How long do these battery changes last once completed. Its been 4 years since this vid, are the sensors still working??

Excellent !!!

Do mineral spirits mix well with Acrylic latex siliconized sealant?

Ok this was literally WORTHLESS

Where is the cast result and analysis? Otherwise you are wasting peoples time

April 4, 2023. Mine is flashing red with new batteries. Prior to installing the new batteries, it was flashing red so I pressed the plus button. Looked like nothing was happening so I left it. Then when I looked over, it was continuously dispensing all the contents out. How do I fix?

Define "not working". Mine operates but no longer pumps soap.

What kind material is that in mineral spirit?

I have a puzzle... A few months ago, I took some silicone left over in a small tube and mixed it with nail polish remover. Made it thin enough to soak a crocheted removable cap for a tube. Made a nice hard cap that really keeps its shape and strength. So I decided to repeat that with a different item i wanted to cap. I used some silicone i purchased to waterproof a cat shelter I was making. There was plenty left over so I tried to mix that with the same nailpolish. It absolutely will not mix. I thought perhaps because that silicone can start curing even in water, that the small amount of water in the nail polish was resisting the mix. I got some 100% acetone and it still does the same thing. All I can think of is that there was something really different about the first tube of silicone. But haven't a clue what kind, or even brand it was. Any thoughts?

Excellent video. Definitely not worth it since a pack of 4 pre-programmed costs only $50 ($12.5 each).

Anyone knows the battery size for 2011 Hyundai Tucson?

Where buy silicone

Thanks

Most important thing to show is how it is after cure .

Great video. I am very concerned about damaging the steel belts in the tire when crushing it like that with the board. Did you or anyone else have tire issues after doing that? Like noise or uneven wear, etc.?

Excellent video. I would suggest you use electronics grade silicone or potting compound, however. Regular silicone contains an acid that could be corrosive to the components,

Awesome! Question though. How is the circuit board connected to the stem? I don't understand the mechanism for it to know the pressure

The batteries only last about ten years, some only 5 years. This is good information

DIY GREAT

What TPMS' battery size for a 2011 Hyundai Tucson GLS?

I understand changing the battery is not that much easy. Thanks for the video.!

One thing you should ad is weigh the TPMS Sensor before and after so they weigh the same as this could effect your tire balancing

Welp this video helped me realize i need to get the thing out first. Guess ill just take it to the shop for a dumb ass sensor

Of course this is for a Lexus/Toyota. what he's not showing is... taking off the tires and wheels from the vehicle, so we have a jack to do that. Now,, we need to get the tire off the rim, so lets all go out and buy a tire machine, I'm sure you could find one for a few hundred. then we can get the sensor battery or even a new sensor for about $35. then we can get the TPMS diagnostic device, which is what, 50? 75? maybe over $100??? Yeah, well I'll be bringing my car to a professional who knows what he's doing and has all the tools and equipment. Thanks anyway Mr Wizard.

Where did you buy the white silicone for your tpms sensor? Thanks.

Excellent video. The diy bead breathing really impressed me. Thank you.
