There are a 100 ways to make epoxy. 4.1, 2.1, and 1.1. Some have open times of 4 hours, some 24 hours, so the story's moral is to follow the tech sheet for the product you are using.

For what you want to do. Clean with 700. Hand scuff with 320. Cleaned with 700. Two coats or 3 of epoxy.

I hope all of you are doing well! Lots of experience here with customers. Clean with 700 twice. Sand with DA 180 or by hand 180 Clean with 700. Two full coats of epoxy and carry on as usual.

This is, like I said, not an oil forum, so im done. Jc, this is totally false except for one exception. And this exception is very common. If you have 50,000 or higher miles and have been using the wrong grade or a crap oil and then go to synthetic, yes, you will start burning oil in 100...

To be clear, ALWAYS use the grade a car manufacturer recommends as the engineer's figure grade of oil by bearing clearances. Example Toyota has an engine where the recomend 0w16; you would not dare put a 5w30 in it, or the engine will be history shortly for lack of lubrication. As far as...

Thanks, D.A.T I feel better now that I looked at the welds, and the paint is good at the welds. Im starting the compressor daily since I changed the oil and run it from 6 to 7 am to 2pm daily. The OW40 has stopped all all laboring and belt noise when cold. I think I had put 15w50 in last time...

You got me paranoid now! Two pictures; one seems to be testing The other is my on-off valve, and in the past, I have turned it on and off, now it is staying on, and I will be 24 feet away in the garage when I start it. A month ago, I did take all fittings off, cleaned, and pipe dope because I...

No way, just a label change. There is a big difference between stock crude and number 2 synthetic blend and number 3; the good stuff is 100% synthetic. Remember years ago, there was a tv ad about draining oil and driving the car? True only with a full synthic, as it creates a positive charge...

Just a note and not trying to start an oil forum, BUT something I learned when at an oil company, a single-weight oil would start losing grade in a car at around 800 miles. Plus, it builds up carbon in the top ring groove. Yes, with my compressor, a synthetic oil straight weight was sent...

This has been a nasty cold winter in Georgia Worst I can remember, so something I learned that might help you. This compressor, from day one, has had only moble1, and the viscosity was what I had extra in the garage as ordinary stock is 15w50, 5w30, 5w40/0w40 euro grade. Well, this cold, I...

Summary: Im now done with the first step of compounding and should explain. The first test was wet sand with 1500 black ice wet sanded, and the result was hard to make a 2-foot area dull as the clear was so hard. That is why I started with a course grit Also, as I think about this, my results...

I think some of you might find this interesting, as it shocked me The other day, I started buffing shortly after the rain stopped and was what .caused the short was a flaw in the cord, so I cut it up and put a new end on. It still would not work, so I took it apart; here is what shocked me: I...

Im not answering the phone as I have no idea Who the number belongs to? BUT!! If it is a personal call, just leave a message as to who it is, and I will call you back; no tech questions. Barry

I would be pissed if you did not track me down!

Crash, you are right about getting a lot done and teaching myself plumbing, electricity, and things I want to learn, like water heaters and gas furnaces. For years, I told people I would die on the tech line and never retire. It's been challenging as I have learned that my only friends were...

Guys, I'm still learning, so I did something I've never done before. I skipped the second step and tried my polishing pad on about a 3x3 black panel; unreal, would you on a show car? Probably not, but this will save me 40 40 hours of buffing. It's starting to rain, so I'm done as I stepped in...

At home, I never buffed 5000 clear. Here are the facts. 1000 grit the factory finished, three coats of 5000 mixed 4.1.1. Srays outside and has been to Flordia 3 times for about a week each time. So I was scared of how it would buff as not made for this deal. I have always said pads are most...

It's about 16 or so hours later and not seeing a lot of difference. I was impressed at first at the speed it cleaned but now wonder if it works as well as acetone with ATF. This was a poor test as nothing to compare with and this is old metal and very heavy. I will leave plyers in another...

Hope you all have a safe and Very Merry Christmas. Barry

About 15 to 25 years ago?? Dont remember. I started making my own thread freer for frozen bolts. I mixed about half auto trans fluid and acetone, and I felt no other could hold a candle to my mix. I had a pair of plyers may have had 20 years or so and could not find them well today saw them...
