    Ghostshield 9500 over Cure and Seal 1315

    I’m building a new house and detached garage. When the builder/concrete contractor poured the basement floors and slab for the detached garage, they used a 1315 cure and seal. Any issues with going over that with Ghostshield 9500? Thanks

    Easy to use push to connect air hose fittings?

    No, I'm only out the money for a couple fittings. So, it's not worth my time. I thought I'd start with a couple and see how they do and perhaps switch the whole shop over to them. So, they've served that purpose, and the cost is negligible based on the amount of business we do and volume of...

    Easy to use push to connect air hose fittings?

    Based upon this thread, I tried a couple Stedlin fittings for our shop (professional automotive repair shop). One didn't last six months and recently cam apart while one of out technicians was using it. Luckily, nobody was injured and no cars were damaged. Based upon the short life span and...

    Car carpet musty smell after sunroof drain leaks and paint spill.

    You might also look into Odor Bombs or similarly chlorinated ones. You set them off in an empty car and come back the next days. I’ve used them with good results for cars that were smoked in.

    Drilling holes into lift post

    I’ve mounted quite a few things on my 2 post lift. In every instance, I welded a bracket to the post and then drilled that. Was usually much easier because I could creat the bracket and drill holes prior to mounting anything. Also, drilling holes was much easier using thinner metal.

    Painting Rusting Cabinets

    Use Rustoleum hammered paint. Minimal prep and hides everything. I’ve used it for rusty shop shelves with great results. Just scuff it, knock off any loose stuff and roller brush on. It flattens really well too.

    Best Air Hose Reels For The Buck

    I have a Dewalt that I like. It seemed like a good compromise between the super cheap ones and the expensive ones like cox. The colors also matched my dannmar lift that I mounted it on.

    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    Here’s mine an old Curtis Toledo from the 1950’s. Works great. Will fill the 80 gallon tank from empty to 155 psi in six minutes. I recently repainted it with ford blue tractor paint.

    From the video, it looks like a 60 gallon vertical and the weld on the bottom of the tank gave out.

    Does anybody do wrenching without gloves & why?

    Almost never unless doing a really messy job like a cv boot replacement and regressing the joint.

    Deep Cycle Golf Cart Battery Charging

    It’s about amp hours. You get more amp hours with 6 8v batteries. So, they don’t discharge as quickly and they give you more range. That also contributes to them lasting longer and having to replace them less frequently. As a result, it’s not uncommon for people to convert a golf cart to 6 8v...
