For a few reasons I won't be able to spray primer on a project I am doing. I am aware of Eastwood's roll on kits but I feel they are priced way too high. Any reason I can't roll on ACME (Sherwin Williams brand?) primer. Most will get sanded off anyway. I brushed on DP40 years ago and it went...

Trying to make or preferably find a one piece slide for my Roof Top Tent. I could have a machine shop make one but I'm hoping to find a cheaper route. Fishing for links, ideas, etc. As it is now you can see in the picture its a two piece(the slide part) attachment due to the width of my roof...

I have some attic work to do and the blown in stuff makes me cough for hours even when I wear a paper mask. Obviously not adequate.
