AbstractMr. B fixes a range of things by doing research by asking experts or reading books. He fixes a plastic toy truck with the right kind of glue and tape, by reading the label, and letting it set using the tape; a struck drawer by using an aluminum pie plate and a drop light to dry out the pine drawer from moist air and then waxing the drawer runners with a candle so that it would glide inside the dresser; oiling the hinges of the surprise box, soaping the screws to help get it in the wood; how to check a bicycle wheel and tire; where to oil a bike.
