u/Embarrassed-Treat-97

I've got a solid wood door -- 76 x 35 x 1 3/4 (it actually tapers from 35 3/4 at the top to 34 3/4 at the bottom!) and about 90 pounds -- (insane, I know, but I am doing a favor for a friend) that I need to widen (to 35 3/4) by about an inch. How stable would it be to glue a strip (probably white oak) to the hinge side, given the heavy weight?

It was already a door, so holes for knobs and such have already been cut which I'd like to reuse -- I'd rather not add to that side, fill holes, and cut new ones, and I would like to have a clean surface for the new hinges. I could definitely add some joinery (and/or screw/hardware) like floating tenons or tongue and groove, but gluing long grain to long grain is so strong in my mind that I'm wondering if I even need it.

Any thoughts? I have never built or hung a door, just done furniture/small craft, and I know you all are a helpful bunch!

Hello dear laundry wizards, I am asking for some advice because I want to save a new (and now ruined) favorite shirt:

The title basically says it all. I spot treated some small oil stains with tide and let sit…definitely closer to two hours than 15 minutes (I have pretreated and let sit for hours before without issue which is why I didn’t think anything of it — I did not know the “do not let tide dry on your clothes rule”). After pretreating I washed with two other pretreated shirts (those are fine) on a normal cycle with 2 extra rinses. Upon taking the shirt out of the wash I discovered these spots (front, treated side shown) which also bleed to make smaller spots on the back too.

At this point I would just like to get a wearable shirt out of this. I am guessing that I could soak the shirt in (diluted) tide, let it dry, and then wash again in the hopes that the bleaching would even out…but I am also wondering if chlorine bleach will be a better option for a more consistent color. I don’t mind the bleached blue color of the spots, but if a lighter one through Cl bleach is the most realistic option, I’ll take it. Any thoughts?
