I can’t believe I missed that, The garage is wired for 240. the breaker panel in the house is on the smaller side but I can’t remember the size off hand. A good friend of mine is a jayman electrician and figured the garage as a whole should be able to draw at least 30amps without a problem. He was going to come back with some more tools and check out the situation more
[quote=”R1campr” post=26882]wax and grease remover is the only way to get the tape glue off and some of the glue was right up against the edge of the wb. [/quote]
Have you tried dulling the tape before putting it onto the panel? I find this helps. I personally don’t like to wipe waterborne basecoats down with anything other then a tack cloth
When your painting interior pieces one of the most important things to do is to clean the absolute living s**t out of it first. Even if you bought the vehicle brand new and have never put any waxes or polishes on your dash I can bet you dollars to donuts that the dealership lathered it on. If you don’t get all the contaminates off you can get a really bad reaction, and it won’t always happen right away. I’ve seen some interior panels turn out really nice and then wrinkle over time. If you can find a degreaser specifically for plastic that would work best. If the dash is smooth hard plastic all your really have to do is scuff the piece lightly until it’s deglossed, this will be enough for the paint to bite, apply a plastic adhesion promoter, sealer, base and clear. If the dash is textured plastic you want to sand out most of the texture with 180 and apply a good high build primer. Then if your painting it a metallic blue I would prep to 600, seal, and paint.
[quote=”Jayson M” post=26774]Yes I still use the aluminum cups for sealer and clear and the disposable cups for waterborne base coat.[/quote]
:agree :nothingtoad
To use the PPS for clear and sealer is a waste of money IMO
were all about the LORD Fusor over here :rock
Their income is irrelevant if they are spending beyond it they are posting a loss. That said, suggesting several companies “successful in their own worlds” going under because their holding company remains unknown to the masses is ridiculous. It’s not a holding companies job to be a brand name. that’s the brands (companies in holding) job. This article might have come off as more legit if it didn’t take the woes of Sears and Kodak and try to say all these other organizations are having the same problems. IMO an easier target would have been Dupont or Basf and I don’t think those guys are going anywhere this year either. Kodaks problem is they failed to capitalize on the digital craze and have faded to black. My favorite argument is the one for steelcase. [quote]”They make wonderful products. They’re a U.S.-based company. They’ve been able to withstand the ups and downs of the office furniture industry. I just don’t think they have a strong corporate brand.”[/quote]. well holy shit lets shut er down people because that guy over there who doesn’t know his head from his ass said that we don’t know how to sell billions of dollars of furniture to corporate offices every year even though we have been successfully for years. thank god for the business insider :wak

Wish I could take credit for the graphics but it’s been years since I played with graphics and I wanted it to look as good as can be so I sent it out. The artist did an amazing job.

Stay away from the EHP clears EC700/750. If you need a low VOC clear go with Deltron DC4010 if you can.
