We had a 14 foot John boat used for ice rescue operations on northern Huron. Had it sprayed with line-x. Worked great to reduce the slippery surfaces, stopped the leaks. Tripled the weight of the boat. Made a perfectly horrible day of training! We also had to enlarge our little gas kicker to 15...

Download a P/T chart. Keep it in your hand when using the gages. After that understand super heat and sub cooling (not so important for cars- but essential to understanding what happens in big systems). I always used a chart I got like 5 of for free in school. Parker (I think) printed them...

Maybe gentle work with a roller and heat gun?

Lafayette here- welcome!

That safety guard is spring loaded and colapses as you drill down. Sort of neat. I bought one for one of my previous units just to pass our safety inspections.

Car pics?

Very cool! I have been contemplating a smoker build, but that is way down on my honeydew list.

I got busy with a new job- sort of stopped visiting GJ, but decided after several months I had to check this particular thread. Hope all is well! Can't wait to see a new update.
