    My 1st paint job with questions

    Get a small regulator and put it on the gun. That way you can adjust it easy on the fly. Prime it first with a light coat of a good epoxy primer. Then follow that up with a high build primer. Sand and prime again untill you are happy with it and finish it up with some 400 to 600 grit wet. You...

    Constant Velocity (CV) joints help.

    Instead of trying to fix the CN joint, go to O'Reiley's and get a rebuilt half shaft. The ones for my Corvette were only $60. That is alot less trouble if it is the CV joint. Reb

    Free spiked shoes

    You use them to walk on wet epoxy while you spread colored flakes. The epoxy will flow back into the hole left by the spike as you walk away.

    deveo and spike shoe question

    I was talking to the Devoe Tech guy and mentioned that I need to get some spike shoes to help me spread the flakes around. He told me not to as Devoe 244 is not self leveling. The holes will just stay and allow water to enter. He told me just to do smaller sections that I could throw the flakes...

    Ufer Ground

    If the vapor barrier is only under the floor and not the footings, how about I run the wire down the rebar in the footings. Reb

    Ufer Ground

    They will be pouring the slab for my shop soon and I am working with the inspector as I will be doing my own electrical. He suggested to me to do a Ufer ground instead of driving in rods. He told me to get 20 feet of #4 stranded copper and tie it to the re-bar and turn one end up through the...
