    I need help! Paint experts, a moment of your time please.

    I would suggest that Benjamin Moore rust arrester. Then go with either polyurethane water-based top coat or direct to metal oil base. Either is good. That metal looks fine it's going to clean up really nice. Don't overthink it. We just did a church restoration that's 100 years old. It was a much...

    Bosch vs Dewalt chop saw

    It's hard to beat a DeWalt miter saw especially at that price. I don't think I'd pay another $200 for the Bosch.

    Concrete sleeve anchors loose

    I agree reset the anchor with epoxy and leave alone. Then come back in 48 hours and tighten. Also oftentimes I will use the ceramic coated deck screws instead of tapcons. When and i find the hole is a little bit loose , whether a tapcon or deck screw. I will stick a bit of wire in the hole...

    Welding input info needed

    Definitely the 0.23 wire and gas. I doubt you could really get your machine to work with 0.35 wire doing thing sheet metal. Plus the 0.23 is easy to sand.

    Bingo pilot then a step bit. You'll likely never use a 5/8 bit again but you will use a step bit.

    Looking for people from cold weather climates/Midwest/NE with minisplits! Can it heat?

    You must do a load calculation. Go to coolcalc.com it's a free app and it will factor in your wall thickness. It will factor in the orientation of your building with the Sun. The number a windows and a bunch of other things. Otherwise you're just guessing. Also, a mini split heat in Minnesota...

    The worst phillips head I ever used.

    My wife had a set. They are terrible I replaced with Wiha for her home set. They really are that bad. They resemble a screwdriver but screwdriver they are not.

    New to welding. Looking for gas cylinders.

    I lease mine from Airgas. If I want to change sizes it's no big deal. You could always rent then decide what you like and then buy. In the long run buying is likely the way to go but I like the flexibility of the lease set up. We use different gasses and processes every once in a while. So...

    Deck stain?

    There are none.. That's the point. If you get into solid you might as well do a paint. If you want to keep the wood grain like a semi-transparent. You're just going to have to stain it all the time. That's just the way it is.
