    Will a Power Cord work in an Air Hose Reel?

    I am thinking about buying two 50-foot 3/8 air hose reels for a garage ceiling mount. I am wondering if I can take the air hose out of one of the reels and replace it with an extension cord.

    Flakes Applied, Clear Coat Applied - But Have a Problem

    I applied Devoe 224HS epoxy and 379UVA clear last weekend, using a medium broadcast of the metallic flakes sold by Original Color Chips. The metallic chips are much lighter than non-metallic chips. Prior to applying the clear, I was going to scrape off any chips that did not stick properly...

    MDF Slat-wall worth it?

    I am considering installing MDF slat-wall from floor (starting just above the base board) to ceiling in my garage. I am considering MDF because it is 1/4 the cost (about $50 per 4 x 8 sheet versus $200 for PVC), and PVC would be far too expensive for the entire garage. My only real concern is...

    Epoxy-Coat versus Rustoleum Epoxy Shield Professional

    I am planning on epoxying my floor in the next month using one of these products. I have a 3-car garage that is approximately 750 square feet. I will diamond-gind the floor before the application ($130 rental). It appears that Expoxy-Coat is twice the price as Rustoleum (I am willing to pay...
