I can't find the specs on the exact model right now. It's a Gree 18K purchased in early 2018. The current model will go down to ~3800. This unit is at least double what the space needs.

Oversizing is definitely an issue. I put an apartment above my shop, pole barn with metal roof and siding. Fully insulated and the shop below is has HVAC. I had 2 companies come in and give me estimates and both wrote them for 18k btu minis. In the end I got the mini myself and did the install...

Stanley 81. Nickle plated.

Yup #40 scrub. I love those old clamps. Have 8 of them now.

Picked this bunch at an estate sale a couple days ago. Inventory of the 55 turns up only missing two cutters and the screwdriver. Been looking for a decent 12 for a few years that wasn't full blown retail. The Goodell jointer plane gauge was in a junk box marked free.

Liters not quarts. Why are you buying a 5l can? 2 liters is all you need and this stuff doesn't keep on the shelf once opened. Even sealed cans start to gel after about 2 years.

I can get nearly 2 full coats on a 19' boat with 1 liter. I'd say 5 liters will be enough.

Foam doesn't hold enough material and let it flow on like a good bristle brush. Also introduces air bubbles in the material.

Outstanding!!
