Oil based paint used to yellow more behind pictures on interior walls than the paint that was exposed to open lighting and air.....it was kind of backwards feom what I expected when I first learned of it as a pro. Wr would pull down pictures in a hallway and see yellow spots where they were...

I have a miller 211 inverter machine. It does great on 3/8" material and is rated at 230 amps. A 180 class machine will only be good for 1/4" at best. My brother has the miller 220 and a 252. The 211 or newer version of it are great even for pro use, which Is my case. My jobs are not huge and I...

There is only so much you can do. I have the same problem on some old concrete (40 years) and have used extra strong pro alkaline degreaser (mixed for pro use only) and hit it with 8gpm of 200 degree water at 3500psi with a surfacer cleaner. I used to be a pro at this and still borrow the...

Yes, it was implied that he had a question, but none were asked and there is no information as to what information he wanted.......so all he did was make a statement.

There was no question asked!

The clear looks good and I did the same on some of mine. My new ones are mdf fornthe clean bench and osb where I grind and weld at a vise, for things that don't get done on the precision fabrication table. light gray paint looks good and can be applied again....they need it now, after a couple...

I have magnetic inserts in some of my sockets. Craftsman used to make the plastic inserts. They work great, but I only have them in my 3/8 short fractional sockets.....some of my most used sockets.

Primer won't completely hide the rust in one coat and it isn't meant to. Paint is made to hide better and Primer seals and adheres. Bad rust may need 2 coats of primer and you are likely right about the water in the 1 step Paint causing a rust reaction. 2 coats of good water based primer may...

While I don't like skipping primer, an interior surface that isn't touched could be a candidate for a paint and primer in one product. If it doesn't cover in a single coat, then a coat of primer and a coat of paint is better. Is the steel galvanized or does it have bare spots of galvanized...

That hp2200 above is alkyd paint......oil based Unless it is somehow different from all the other oils, it will yellow. I remember walls painted with oil that would have a yellow rectangle right behind hanging pictures. It was crazy when my uncle first pointed it out and explained it was...

Cable or chain is a good idea. A simple bracket or plate to side screw, with a hole or eye for the cable would be easy. Timberlock screws are structural and I wouldn't want to use an eye hook either. Some eye hooks have a joint and long threaded bolt to run horizontal through a beam and the eye...

I used 1x1 inch steel sq tube and welded frames for my shelves. Timberlock screws through the tube and into the studs horizontally are very strong. There are a few vertical posts up to the ceiling with flat stock tabs and more timberlock screws into ceiling joists. 7/16 osb sits on the frame as...

I would have sprayed primer and paint on the ceiling first, then rolled out posts. Rustoleum is a brand of paint with many types, including zinsser primer. Did you use oil based or water based on the posts? Water based won't stick to oil paint without primer, but it does stick to oil based...

Zinsser water based Cover Stain primer or zinsser water based 123 primer are my favorites. I have used thousands of gallons of them. Never rely on paint and primer in one products. If you are certain of the existing coating and that water based finish will stick, then primer could be skipped...

There are two different shapes for flap wheels as well and I think the conical ones allow more focused grinding vs flat. Just like the post above, target the high area of the weld first and avoid removing unnecessary material around the weld, to avoid heat and thinned panels. It takes a...

The math is wrong! Why, because 4-7 cfm is wrong. None of the die grinders I have used are really that low and I had a sanborn compressor that was about 11 cfm. It takes a real 5hp compressor with 17 to 20 cfm to run die grinders non stop. Yes, they do care how many stages you have as they need...

You don't need a backing pad. Flap discs have their own backing and come in 24, 36, and 40 grit. Start as course as possible and then finish with something finer like 80 grit. For the final pass, resin discs can work well. Get rid of the piece of **** grinder and buy a decent one. They should...

What is that supposed to mean? People often don't get to choose all the aspects of where they live, or even location, and have to deal with obstacles with projects like this. Some cities have code enforcement driving around looking for any work going on.

You must not be very smart, or just happen to live in every neighborhood in the country or even world to know that nobody cares, or did you just not clarify you are only talking about your area when you said no one cares? Blanket statements are dumb if that was one. Sorry, but one of my pet...

"Aluminum angle iron" that is like dehydrated water.....I have never seen it. Aluminum stick material or shapes as my supplier calls them, are no problem. And the ferrous shapes I use are steel, not iron. I have made hundreds, if not thousands of cuts, with my dewalt 12" miter saw, in steel...
