I just bought a Champion VR5-8 compressor and want to get some oil ordered so I have it on hand when it is time for an oil change. For some reason the manual does not say what it's capcity is. Anyone know how much it takes?

This is going to have a real obvious answer to it, but for some reason it is escaping me. I am working on getting my airline set up completed and was about to solder on a copper fitting going from 1/2" copper pipe to 1/2" male NPT thread which then will connect to my 1/2" inlet on my inline...

Hey guys, I am working on finishing my compressor set up. I have 3 drop lines off the main line. At this point I will be using each drop just for basic air needs (tools and straight air) w/ none used for painting at this time. I will need to put a filter/regulator at all 3 drops, correct?

Well, with winter about to set in, I am wondering how my epoxy floor (Rustoleum Epoxyshield Pro) is going to hold up to my studded snow tires. Anyone here had any experience with this? If so, did the studs do any damage to the epoxy?

Not sure if anyone has posted pics of drag racer Bruce Litton's garage. He did a recreation of his hometown's main street including the store fronts that were there when he grew up. In the back of the shop he has his work area for his race car and also parks his transporter truck there. This is...

I just bought an enclosed trailer and want to put something down on the wood deck. On my last trailer I used a deck type paint and it would peel up under the tires when I had a car parked on it. I have an extra kit of Rustoleum Epoxysheild Professional epoxy and am wondering how well it would...

I have a torque wrench that I have had since the 80's. I have no idea what brand it is. I got it from my then girlfriend's Dad (he had a tow truck business and took it as a partial payment on a tow). It does not have a brand name on it anywhere for some reason. Anyway, can torque wrenches be...

Does anyone know if it is alright or not to leave a car on a hoist (Rotary SPO10) for a extended peroid of time, like a week? I looked in the manual and did not see it mentioned unless I missed it. The car is only lifted less then a foot off the ground right now and it would be nice to be able...

I just installed 2 industrial ceiling fans (w/ no lights) in my garage. The fans work on all 5 speeds but the control switch got real hot and melted the plastic on the back. This is what I am referring to: I have both fans controlled by the (1) 5-speed control switch. I know Egan did this...

Has anyone here applied Rustoleum Epoxyshield during the winter months? If so, how did it work out? What temps did you have at the time? I am ready to do a recoating with Rustoleum Epoxyshield. I am now debating whether or not I need to hold off till spring when it warms up or if I can get...

I am looking to get a decent new 24 volt thermostat for my Bigg Maxx heater. The one I got from Northern (only had 1 choice) is a piece of ****. Anyone have any recommendations and a online source for them?

Just got my Mr Heater Bigg Maxx installed and am now trying to fire it up. Does anyone know of a way to purge a new gas line? It does have quite a bit of distance to go but I am thinking it should not take that long, but it is....

I just had this thought pop into my head. A little background. I had a blistering issue with my epoxy floor due to moisture, even with a vapor barrier being down. I have all but given up on trying to figure what has caused it since I have a vapor barrier down. I have just assumed that maybe the...

I am getting ready to re-coat my epoxied floor (due to some issues I had. See thread http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5269 ). I called Rustoleum about scuffing the floor to prep for a re-coat. They said to use 60 grit. I rented one of those floor scrubbers (the type that has...

I am going to be ordering a 75,000 btu Mr Heater Big Maxx propane heater. Has anyone here installed one themselves? If so, how tough is it?

Just got done yesterday stripping the blistered trouble areas on my epoxied floor (see post http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5269 for complete info on the problem I had). Now I am wondering how it is going to look with them "patched". I am afraid that it is going to be very...
