We want to be better!

Shine, Sorry it's in a fixed spot. I put it on my list of "please fix the software" If anything comes of it I will change it asap
 
sorry, maybe this has been mentioned earlier in the thread. As i look through the site, i cant find ANY descriptions of the products, aside from whats listed in the tech sheets. Even in the tech manual the actual description of product is a little vague. Maybe something to think about?

Kinda got me thinking after browsing the HOK website and looking at some of their stuff.

Might help the guy that isn't forum oriented. He can look up the products and see what they are and how they are used. For example we know universal is a restoration clear. We know its buffing capabilities and spraying capabilities. Whereas the EURO is a different scenerio and is perfect for lets say motorcycles and atvs where they can take a little beating. Obviously other uses for them but just a general description of what sets the 2 clears apart.

I know all of this info is listed here on the forum...but like said above not everyone likes to get on forums and talk or get on here and do searches. Makes it easier for them to see what the different clears are for if its just listed on the site.

maybe?
 
the one thing i dont like and probably mentioned already is the packing peanuts. what a mess. i would be happy with the days already read newspaper for packing. packing peanuts are not good for the environment. Barry I know that companys such as crutchfield have a program in wich you can send back the packing peanuts so that they can be reused for future shipments. its a really good idea and not some much of a PITA to send back
 
Just save the peanuts and give to a local shipper for their use. Simple and cost effective.
 
I do agree the peanuts can be a pain but to send them back to reuse is terrible. Environmentally speaking it defeats the purpose. You have to look at the energy, fuel and carbon produced just to return them almost certainly outweighs the benefits. Now if you keep them and use them to ship something for yourself thats another story. Recycling and reusing is absolutely great but when energy is used to do it then a energy study needs to be done to see if its not a waste. Just something to think about.
 
Finding out if a local pack-n-ship would accept them might be environmentally beneficial. I'm thinking about researching placing some of them in my paint waste. My solvent recycler will drastically reduce their volume.

Exactly, Jim.

Sending back peanuts would make about as much sense as using ethanol as a fuel. If the federal gov. gets wind of this idea, they will be subsidizing their very own peanut program in no time!
 
There is a big manufacturing company here that will take all the peanuts you can give them. and they do it with a smile. I'm sure there are others out there if you look.
 
Just wondering if there are any updates on new tech sheets? those still in the works?
 
Maybe this has been discussed already. But would there be anyway to put the primers into the same style cans as the clears and reducers? so much easier to pour with and much cleaner!
 
2 problems with that. They cant be put on a paint shaker or a mixing rack and primers need to be mixed.

And it sucks trying to mix with a stick in the square cans with a cap opening. If I remember it right I think years back the old Dupont lacquer primers were packaged in the square cans and I don't miss that or the primer.

I disagree!! You are right about the cans being easier and cleaner to pour from (sans mixing rack cap). For me the mess comes when the round gallon is full :eek:. I know there are some tips for poring from gallons posted here but I've yet to take advatage of them...., keep repeating the mess and expecting to get away with it. Kind of like the definition of insanity:eek:.
 
With the next run of tech sheets I'd like to see reducer temps listed (ie; 860 = 75 degrees or less, 870 = 65-80, etc). On the cans as well would be nice too. Getting tired of telling customers what reducer temp to use.
