    Starting new epoxy

    Hi folks. I'm planning to do epoxy in the next couple of weeks. I already did a detached garage last year so I'm confident in my abilities. I used (and will use again) acid etching, Legacy primer and Epoxy-coat epoxy. My question is how to handle this: The in-floor storm shelter shown has...

    Do You Have a Storm Shelter In Your Garage

    I assume you mean on top of it. As in the tire(s) on the door to the shelter. I wouldn't be able to get in but my bigger concern would be the side of my house I'd have to knock down to park on top of the door. It sits in the single car stall. It would be impossible to park on top of it...

    Do You Have a Storm Shelter In Your Garage

    We have a lot of tornados in AL of course. We have a Flat Safe brand in the foundation of our garage. We have a 3 car garage. It's installed on the 1 car side. I drive my car over the top of it strattling it. If inclement weather is on the way we just pop open the latch and roll the door back...

    Alright, help me pick a damn table saw

    :wtf: Wow. It's almost like he explicitly asked for people not to make this comment. :wtf: Seriously though, I would buy the nicest possible tablesaw that is within your budget. The tablesaw is by far the most important and flexible tool in woodworking (diy, hobby or otherwise). I have heard...

    Pros/cons of portable air compressor in the attic

    Bob, that is a very interesting idea. I'll think more about that... FullRaceMerc, It does get hot here in Bama of course. My garage is not heated/cooled but is well insulated. It's a good point I had not thought of. Maybe someone else can say for sure whether this should be a concern. My...

    Pros/cons of portable air compressor in the attic

    Thanks for all of the feedback guys. Such quick responses! My wall space is also valuable guys. :( Sorry. My shop is just a detached garage 15'x23'. Table saw and workbenches take up a lot of the space then I have cabinets, jigs, clamps... on the walls. Storage in general is a big issue...

    Pros/cons of portable air compressor in the attic

    Got a Rolair JC10 for Christmas to use in my woodshop for brad nails, pin nails, staples, etc. To get to the air, I'm thinking of putting it up in the attic with a rubber air line running through the joints to my hose reel hanging from the ceiling. For power, I'm looking to do something...

    Best screw extractor or set

    Glad you got it worked out. As an FYI, for my money, nothing works better than left-handed drill bits.

    Epoxy-coat min/max time between Base and Clear Coat

    Back from ice cream. Wanted to be more clear... #1. I've read that you should wait 12 hrs before applying 2nd coat. Does this "2nd coat" apply to clear coat as well? #2. I've read that if you wait beyond 24 hrs you should rough up the surface before applying the 2nd coat. Does this apply to...

    Epoxy-coat min/max time between Base and Clear Coat

    Hey guys. Wife and I put down the base coat of Epoxy-Coat this morning at 11:30. (Not a great idea as temps rose and made a few bubbles which I can doctor up as needed - - but that's not my question) Onto my question, it's 86 degrees right now so the coating is curing very quickly, I can make...
