Painting cellar walls with Dryloc waterproofing paint. It's very thick but I heard it can be sprayed.....don't see how it could without thinning it and I don't want to do that. Any application advice? Thanks

Found this in the basement ceiling of my son's 100+ year old house. Never saw this before, is it some type of phone or doorbell component? Curious.... Thanks in advance for any help.

Amazon has only a limited amount and colors.... This on a paint site says it all “Please note that the manufacturer is discontinuing the entire line of Hammerite products. Therefore, we can NOT guarantee shipping of the product as it is only available while supplies last”

Supposedly sold in Canada.....

It definitely has been sold, bought out or something, there are only limited quantities and colors available And some of what’s available is being sold by shysters who are asking Up to ten times their original price!

I’ve used it for years and with great results. Always easily available out here in NJ

I've heard that original Hammerite is out of business and all you can get now is what other distributers bought from the company. I loved the stuff and used it on everything from car restoration to household. I have a large 3-400" wrought iron fence i would like to paint with their Hammered Grey...

You're correct about Grants having 5 holes but they usually have a Grant signature engraved into the spoke.

I have a double scissor 7000lb lift that I keep outdoors but don't use in very cold winter days. I assume it is the hydraulic fluid getting thick in the cold that makes it run slow until spring comes around and was wondering if anyone makes a multi-grade fluid that would perform like a lighter...

You're asking the wrong forum. Go on a drag racing/hotrod site. I've seen professional drag racers carrying multiple containers of alcohol and fuel in their trailers all the time. They probably have more to lose in their trailer than most guys here have in their garage, they'll tell you solid info.

If this helps....I have a Twin-Busch double scissor above ground lift. I have it mounted outdoors on a 6" pad in front of my garage. It lifts cars and trucks 72" above ground, open center area to work on trans removal etc. So far works well, keep covered in winter months in NJ.

FYI....I bought a Twin Busch TW S3-19, raises 72", plenty of room underneath and no obstruction to trans, rear etc. Very happy

I have had it for two years, but you are leaning more toward the temp being the problem for slow operation than the oil filter? Thanks for your response.

I'm in NJ, it was the day before our first snow storm. So garage was maybe 40º. I ran it the week before when temp was 50º plus.

I have a Twin Busch scissor car lift and it is running slow, going up as well as coming down. I have heard that it has an oil filter that may get clogged and cause this but I don’t know where to find it. Does anyone know where the filter is located or if there is a possibility that something...
