Got an opinion on fireworks? Share it with us

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?

Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?

ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.

"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."

Gambling venues can only be located in commercial or industrial areas in Tauranga – we’re proposing to instate an additional 100m buffer from residential zones with higher social deprivation, so no venue could relocate right next to those areas, where the risk of gambling-related harm is higher.

Do you know what's really scary? Unprotected glass.
Don't trick yourself into thinking your glass will stay beautiful forever, treat yourself to the best glass protection available no matter the type or location of the glass, ClearShield glass protection.

Properties of glass
New glass is bright and sparkling, easy to see through and easy to clean and keep clean. After exposure to contaminants, the surface of ordinary, unprotected glass is attacked both chemically and physically.

The surface of glass is not completely smooth. Under a microscope weathered glass has a rough surface of peaks and potholes, known as pores. Contaminants attach to the microscopically rough surface. Some substances are tenacious and difficult to clean. Others bond chemically to the surface because the surface of unprotected glass is chemically reactive with many substances and are impossible to remove completely using conventional methods ie household glass cleaners.

Corrosion by moisture, particularly in combination with alkalinity, attacks the surface of glass and makes it appear dull and unattractive. The surface becomes even rougher and can suffer irreparable damage. Unless protected, glass can lose its original clarity, visibility and cleanliness very quickly.

What is ClearShield and why does it work?

ClearShield is a polymer resin which bonds chemically to the surface of glass, seals the pores of the glass and provides a long lasting protective barrier.

For splashbacks it stops grease and food from bonding to the glass and therefore allows easy removal.For showers & external glass it stops water contaminants and other residues from bonding to the surface of the glass.


Since the surface of the glass is not smooth but consists of pores which are rough and uneven, this is the reason why you can't keep your shower clean. As the glass progressively ages, there is a buildup of contaminates that chemically link to the pores of the glass and these household cleaners can't break these chemical bonds.



So ClearShield glass protection is a must as it;

- can bring your glass back to new and protect it from further corrosion.

- it is non hazardous & non flammable, so safe to apply at your residence.

- it is eco-friendly reducing frequency of cleaning and time & materials to clean to maintain glass clarity ie cleaning 5 minutes/week.
