85-100 per wheel should handle sandblasting to bare metal. There are two different types of powder, thermoset and thermocure. Thermocure will soften again and allow another coat to adhere, Thermoset will not soften and it will stay hard and have bad adhesion. Since most of these are made and...

I really liked the original accuspray guns. The conversion from compressed air line to the gun had a garden hose fitting to change the pressure to volume. Those were the days all the painters wanted to use was the binks number 7.

The question I always have is how does the basecoat clearcoat stuff survive on engines? I see all the shows doing base and clear on the blocks to have them ready for the reveal. I know we painted some clear on brand new aluminum heads and it was yellow in a week.

Activators will tell you by turning yellow. Putting yellow activator in clear is not a good idea. Reducers are a different story though, but if you are buying 200.00 worth of touch up paint for your truck I would not chance the reducer. If it does not work as lighter fluid, it probably wont cut...

I am pretty sure seams should be sealed, I would be adding more holes. The front floor supports, the lowest points do not have holes it what seems to be 3/4 low spots, which means the water reaches the level of the nearest hole and stays inside.

We looked at inside areas before and anywhere the support is attached to the floor is going to be rusted anyway and will be the rust that starts again first. The neutralization process is required to get paint to stick. Are you getting paint inside those areas? Flooding with epoxy? I do not...

there are people that are getting a new gel injected in place instead of surgery. I had a tear 25 years ago, the surgeon I went to sounded like a butcher, saying they just cut away the tear and muscle will not grow back to that is all they did. I guess cutting around it makes you have to start...

I have seen a few posts, cannot find them, about spraying universal outside. Believe me, if you do not have enough booth, you are probably better off instead of spraying in a cloud.

I would count on the lead being in it in the 60's, look at all the lead based paint people used in their houses.

only real fix its I found were at mcmaster carr, gotta know hose ID, hose OD perfectly though. https://www.mcmaster.com/air-hose-repair/screw-on-hose-fittings-for-air-and-water/ If not those you are stuck with a barbed fitting and hose clamp. Then its probably 25% the cost of a new hose...

This is in the universal clear? Its a question I have asked for years and never gotten an answer. Closest I got was add retarder. Figure a cap ful of retarder is doing as much as 10% reducer, but never adding reducer is probably a bunch of the trouble.

I dont have any of those answers, I just thought more people would comment on how it was applied opposed to you trying to find a way to get all the problems out. The Gladiator quote just has me remembering so many times we just got a bad paint job and the painter was never the one to blame. If...

I always say that you can get a professional painter from this forum go in your booth, set your gun the way they spray, and it does not mean that a different painter is going to spray glass. Overlap, flash time, if it goes on too heavy, 30 minutes may not be enough. I hear alot of painters...

I always thought the smooth start feature was an effort to get the shielding gas to the tip of the welder.

I thought Hobart was Miller stuff, but seems farther apart, I have hobart and a lincoln and I know the drive wheel on the hobart is reversable, it has 2 grooves cut in it, so that might be part of a problem. See if you can take your drive wheel off and see if it has 2 grooves and flip it around...

thats usually not a problem welding in patches, since its usually just little tacks all around until its closed. It has always been the tips or the liner from my experience. How old is the wire you are using? Sometimes it helps just running wire thru without a tip to get thru the length of the...

Single stage, color sand, three coats clear with black candy, five coats clear.

key word is metal temperatures and household oven so you need to consider your thanksgiving turkey baking at 350 for 6 hours to get to 160 meat temperature. I am guessing your parts got up to about 120-130 in 80 minutes. For the most part, the only reason automotive refinish products are not...

I just have this kit https://www.mcmaster.com/7890A3/ it takes less than 5 pounds of clean air pressure, not sure if the nitrogen is better, I would think it should be, or if its just something to use if you are not near an air compressor. They are pretty basic, a heating element in the...

one of the specs I need to follow is for NASA. NASA-STD-5008. You can google that and see what they require. Florida is all Galvanized happy for corrosion protection, so when I started painting these nasa parts, they needed us to use a red oxide primer, followed by a zinc primer. You got a...
