Without consulting you?

I like T&G wood, but I'm concerned about condensation on the back side of the roof metal. I've yet to see any condensation, but once it's enclosed would it be a problem?

I'd like to enclose my porch ceiling. As you can see from the pic, there's no sheathing just metal on purlins. I'm assuming ventilation is critical, a friend suggested using vinyl soffit material. Anybody here done something similar? There's a lot of porch to do, so cost is a factor but I'd like...

What kind of prep is required?

I built a bed frame, head and footboard out of 2" square tube. Applied 2 coats of Penetrol(boiled linseed oil) after lightly removing surface rust and cleaning with lacquer thinner. Gave it a nice shine, enhanced color, and has lasted for 10 years so far. Used outdoors I think it requires...

I pour some lacquer thinner over the stain, let it penetrate a couple minutes then cover with clean floor dry. Allow to dry, then remove. For me it's never taken more than one or two applications.

I have an 08 Silverado and do all my own maintenance and repair. I use silveradosierra.com and youtube. I'm not opposed to manuals, but seem to get everything I need online. Love the pic, my uncle worked at Goddard and I have a cousin in law that works in the industry. I remember when we used to...

I wouldn't dust coat it, but if a tack coat works and eliminates the problem there you go.

Btw, solvent pop can look like tiny fisheyes but not like the large fisheyes in your first pic. I seriously doubt you applied enough material with the preval to cause solvent pop, especially before the second coat. Shopline clears are intended for low end shops and the limited airflow usually...

I seriously doubt shopline clear is solvent popping over bare metal (I'm a PPG distributor). Which shopline clear is it? There are several and they handle differently. Since you were mistaken about the first coat fisheyes, that changes my guess about air contamination though it doesn't rule...

Also, how long is the line between the compressor and the refrigerated air dryer?

Your last screw up was a blessing in disguise! If your first coat didn't fisheye, then that rules out surface contamination. Before we go further, a few questions. 1. Do you have an air regulator at the gun? This is important, what I tell new guys is to turn it down till it sprays like ****...

Phone dials are cast aluminum, Fuchs are forged and thus more fit for attachment to larger rims. Clubsport wheels from the 944 turbo S are a nice light weight forged alternative for a late offset 944.

I have three extinguishers I kept when I closed my body shop so I thought I was in good shape. Just checked and they're Buckeyes, dang it. They are all reading on the high side of charged. Should I trust that they are charged or ditch them for new ones?

Is this for industrial/commercial or automotive refinishing?
