I tint windows so some days I may use a heat gun for a couple hours total and I use one every day. I started with a Snap On that lasted for a long time. In a pinch I needed one quick and bought the cheap Wagner. I haven’t looked back. A $25 Wagner will last me five or so years worth of abuse...

I put them in my new shop and hated them. I liked the light but within a year they leaked and the heat from them was unbearable. They’ve been replaced with metal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve always mixed used oil with stain to put on trailer decks. I did the deck on my house not long ago and only had new oil. I mixed 1qt per gallon of stain and it worked great. I actually like new oil better now. It is slippery at first but after one or two rains, it’s not slippery anymore...

I have open cell in my house. I had a leak with a faulty boot when I was building. The water leaked at the boot, and came through the insulation and dripped on the floor in the same spot. There was no running on top of the insulation, the water went right through it. Not that this was a...

I’m in the same boat except my unit is only six years old. It’s a Lennox unit that has been garbage since day one. It tore up again this weekend so it’s got to go. I’m looking at in the 9-10k range. *****. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For what it’s worth I have a 4 ton unit on my house that’s 3000 sqft with 4 zones. It has foam insulation with about 13’ of space above the 9 and 11’ ceilings. It could have easily been a two story house. The unit seems perfect in there, and I think that’s what I’m trying to compare the shop...

Thanks for the replies guys. I climbed up in the ceiling and got this pic. looks like this is for a 3 ton Someone asked about the insulated duct. I didn’t mention it before because I didn’t think it was important. That duct is going to a separate 12x24 room that does have a ceiling. The...

Sorry about being so vague. I thought I was covering all of the bases. I’m in central Georgia. It’s super hot and humid and this shop sits in full sun all day. The walls are 10’ high, then add for the space above the ceiling. I don’t have intentions on adding a ceiling, I should have instead...

Hey guys. Just got a new a/c unit in my shop and it doesn’t seem to get the job done. I have a 36x40 garage with spray foam insulation in the ceiling and fiberglass in the walls. I have good windows, insulated doors, and had skylights but I covered them up recently. I wanted a big mini...

I’ve got the sun joe. Great for washing cars. Useless for most anything else Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What an awesome giveaway. How'd I miss this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the same problem but in Georgia. I would second the gable vents and fan. Those two coupled with an insulated ceiling would probably make a big difference. I just spray foamed mine and it's twice as bad as before. I'm about to have to put air conditioning in it I'm afraid. Sent from my...

I have a husky 80 gallon compressor, which is basically a rebranded Campbell hausfeld. Problem is, the regulator leaks behind the knob and it drives me crazy. This is the third Chinese regulator set that I've put on it in 6 months (factory replacements). My question is... can anyone look at...
