    coats tire machine leaking inside cabinet-

    The side it leaks doesn’t open or at least I haven’t looked- bead breaker works great but there’s an intermittent light hiss from inside - not very big and the machine works otherwise - I’ll try get some pics .. Good to know about the piston kit tx

    coats tire machine leaking inside cabinet-

    Thanks all.. that really helps- as mentioned I’ve gone thru the valve bodies for pedals and lines- they don’t leak. That bead breaker box sounds like it’s the culprit- I’ll check that guys videos and post back. Still unpacking into new shop and need to get working asap as I haven’t earned a...

    extend car lift overhead beam

    Considering extending the overhead beam on my bendpak- I can make hydraulic lines not an issue there, but the cables go to both posts - possible there might be enough cable free length? mine came in two widths and considering extending it approx 14 inches to the larger spec

    moved into new shop - floor weeping oil slowly on hot days. Want to lay down vinyl

    The bad section was quite clean for about 1-2 weeks, ie dry. Im wondering if I scrub it again and treat with something (acetone)? and try lay down a sealer of some kind that will keep the stuff below from weeping through? ** Been finding alot of good reviews on ghostshield- wonder if the 4500...

    no but they are ugly due to carpet glue over the top - and **** up against a 4ft strip of tile we are removing- so we might end up in the 3/8" possibly even 1/2" thick range more so. ive moved shop and this will be front of house - wont see a lot of traffic- below vinyl is concrete slab so zero...

    funny - a flooring section! Self level over really stuck vinyl tiles?

    Moving into a new shop and there are really stuck vinyl tiles with currently 1/4" room for self leveling cement floor. This is not a heavy use area - just basically an entrance to walk on. They are not peeling at all and are superbly stuck- cant even get a hand scraper underneath- it would...

    Super aggressive sandblasting setup - 1/2 inch hose too big? + 80 gal setup

    agreed was wondering about that- few pieces of pipe are cheap and there is a slight taper in the reduction, also not sure how important a factor the venturi plays in the metering valve. production ones have a long taper, diy ones use the short taper in the adapter 1-1/4 down to 3/4 or whatever size
