    2K polyurethane primer

    I would toss it. If you use it you might have gooey mess!

    Orbital polisher feedback/recommendations?

    I purchased the 3M Trizact discs, the backing pad, and the Dynabrade palm sander with the Grey handle for correct stroke. We'll see how it works out, but the videos on YouTube have me impressed! After the 8000 grit, you barely need to polish it!

    Orbital polisher feedback/recommendations?

    My friend owns a body shop and he has a Makita because of the weight and performance. The Milwaukee and DeWalt are high quality but are very heavy. After using one on a whole car you'll wish you had a lighter one! If you're only doing spot buffing, It won't matter, but if you're doing a whole...

    OPINIONS ON GARAGE INSULATION???

    Use a staple gun to keep the poly in place. Lots of little holes!

    OPINIONS ON GARAGE INSULATION???

    Put the poly up first for a killer vapor barrier, then the Batts, then the Thermax under your finish material. Tape the seams on the Thermax!

    OPINIONS ON GARAGE INSULATION???

    I would totally wrap the inside of the garage with polyethylene sheeting, stapling it to every surface. Then I would use the fiberglass batts because they have the most bang for your bucks. After that, I would put 1/2" Thermax foam sheathing up before installing the drywall. Remember, you are...

    Hose clamp tool

    I had a friend buy a set of SnapOn pliers for me. Around $32.00 also. He works at a Bodyshop, so I got them in a few days. They work great!

    Compressor mounting location

    Oh, and if the air receiver tanks are allowed to freeze, you'll never be able to drain the water.

    Compressor mounting location

    Just as long as the compressor in in a conditioned space. You don't want your compressor starting when it's -20F in the winter.

    Wet TIG torch users.....how long do your hoses last?

    I once set one of my chair legs on the coolant hose and burned up my torch. Had water pumping out on the floor and was oblivious until it went PFFFFFHT!

    Wet TIG torch users.....how long do your hoses last?

    Do you have a protective sleeve on the torch hoses? It's really easy to step on the individual hoses and cut off the coolant if they're loose. You can use an air cooled torch if you don't plan on going over 150A. I personally like a water cooled torch because I can do 250A without a sweat...

    Is it just me or do led work lights suck?

    One thing is, I haven't burned the skin off of my forearm in many, many moons!

    Is it just me or do led work lights suck?

    When I'm crawling around under the car, I drag a 20,000 lumen 4 footer under there with me and believe me, There ain't no shadows!!!!. I can't see anymore either.

    New to me Air Compressor

    Old Compressors Rule!

    New to me Air Compressor

    I'm not sure, but by the design of the cast iron heat exchanger next to the head, that may be a Saylor Beall compressor head? If it is it will run forever! Do some homework and find out. Yes, the bigger ones run at half the RPM and put out more air. NIce!

    Olsa Tools

    I just bought one of those fancy 250 Lb.Ft. split beam torque wrenches on Flea Bay that was made by Precision Instruments in DEsPLaines, Il. They make the Snap-On unit. These days you have to do alot of detective work to find out who makes what for who!

    How to get leverage on this shallow bolt head?

    Take a six point socket OR a six point combination wrench and grind the face back about a eighth of an inch to get rid of the chamfer on the end. This should give you a good bite! Also, rusty bolts get smaller when they rust, so try a Metric wrench and grind it back!
