Story of my life. Every major step has been a huge hurdle. Maybe that can be the title to my build thread : "The Little Shop of Hurdles"

"Isocyanate"- That sounds like the word he mentioned a few times when he didn't just say "iso". As for the rest of your input, that's pretty much what I was thinking all along and had been trying to get him to agree with (in addition to admitting the mess WAS caused by the foam sprayer(s)...

I've never experienced this problem. But, from your description, I'm led to agree that the receiver board is causing a problem. When you remove/reinsert the board, does the operator respond to the remote? When you say it opens and closes after pressing the SBC, I'm assuming that you have the...

The 14-year veteran sprayer, his helper, a "shop guy", and the rep returned today. As soon as they opened up the trailer, I took a pic of the **** dried to the side wall: My walk door again for comparison: They couldn't deny this and admitted that the stuff on the wall and door was...

I'm not doubting you or your wife's knowledge, but it made sense to me. There's two barrels- a "Part A" and a "Part B", and apparently one of them contains the catalyst. That was the one that was exposed to the heat, causing some of it to evaporate out. So, he was mixing the two barrels as...

No man card shots taken. It's always good to know of readily available sources for needed chemicals. I keep a large bottle of cheap acetone nail polish for super glue and other adhesive mishaps. I've never thought to look for straight acetone, though. Apparently, it's common and my local...

On that note, they had to come back a second day for a re-spray because the foam was 1-2 inches too thin most everywhere. The rep said they figured out that "one of the barrels was left in the trailer over the weekend and the heat caused the catalyst to evaporate out, so the foam didn't expand...

I had a reputable and established company insulate my shop, but they left splatters of something seemingly permanent on the front wall, walk door, concrete in front of the door and wall, and on the floor just inside the main door. I specifically wanted no stains of any kind on the inside floor...

My neverending project- 2002 S10. I had a power sliding sunroof installed at Tops Unlimited back in '03. They cut out pretty much all but the perimeter of the headliner board to fit the sunroof, then glue headliner fabric to the remaining perimeter and to the edge around the sunroof. The...

So, for $658 (two 5 gallon buckets), I can coat my entire floor?! I was sure I'd be spending $1,000+. Page bookmarked!

O rly? I might have some work for you when I get to that point. Or maybe I can use your services to kick start me to getting to that point... Would you happen to be the Stitchcraft dude?

It says something about that floor being a "shade of brown". As I see them on my monitor, it looks mostly gray with some brown-ish marbling (or vice-versa). I do not want brown floors, but I think I want the same effect- "natural" concrete look but with a protective barrier over it to keep...

I'm diggin' the rustic look on that divider wall:thumbup: I might have to cop that idea for my wife's office. Cheap and stylish!

All you gotta do is put in one of these bulbs:

Unfortunately, this is far too common. If you notice the operator rail bowing down when it first tries to open the door, you have a problem. Usually, it just strips out the drive gear, which is a much cheaper repair than replacing the whole operator. *** Is calling it an "opener" a northern...

They will lose strength during the first few months of use (or longer depending on use) as the spring metal relaxes. After that, they should settle. I installed doors with the spring(s) slightly overwound to help with this. How often it will need to be adjusted depends on many factors...

I've installed many 16x7 doors that had a single spring. Actually, I converted an old one that had two small springs to one larger single spring. It was all I had on the truck and the customer needed their door fixed that day. The door balanced almost perfectly throughout it's entire travel...

I looked up the MDO. Cool stuff, but I'm trying to save money (I have no choice!). I'll check out that Scooter Board. But, I'm probably gonna end up with regular OSB and paint it.

That's pretty much exactly what I did and I haven't gotten the first inquiry. But, cabinet/millwork shops probably get their wood in bulk from a supplier, so they're not gonna be scrounging Craigslist for a deal on wood. I'd imagine car audio shops just buy it as needed from a big box store. So...

Never heard of "MDO". I'll have to look that up. Thanks for the info! Now, if only I could find someone who needs a lot of MDF for cheap...
