    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    Can the GLLUSA GL07103-3M(5000K) bulbs (bought from ProLighting) be used in single ended mode? The reason I ask is, I received a batch and each bulb has a sticker on it showing only double ended wiring, in both ballast and bypass mode. And for single ended wiring, is there a pin designated for...

    old tennis ball on a string trick

    My solution was to draw tiny dots with a pencil on the wall next to the side view mirror. I use three dots in a horizontal line about 1/2 inch apart. As I drive in, I look at the side view mirror and the dots pass by it. When I see the first one, I know I'm close. Just as the third one...

    My 20 X 24 garage build

    It's been a while, so I thought I post an update. Put peg board up and added a vehicle to the stable. 71 C3, 454 4 spd, factory AC, PS, PB. I love it. It goes well with the Z06. :thumbup:

    My 20 X 24 garage build

    Re: My 20 X 24 - Corvette Garage I've made some more progress and thought it was time to post an update. Got some nice cabinets from a local hardware store. Nothing fancy, but they are large and can hold a lot of stuff. And they come in a nice Gray color. They're made by ClosetMaid. Got a...

    Another Epoxy-Coat Floor is in

    Wow, lots of questions. OK, here goes. 1. No. It actually rained this weekend, so I was in and out with wet shoes. It didn't feel slippery at all. It feels sticky actually. Like a squeaky clean, rubber on rubber feel. 2. No clear coat. 3. Even though I didn't use them, I know they...

    price of epoxy coat at lowes

    If that's correct, that's less than a half kit. Plus no shipping charges.

    Epoxy-Coat Questions

    I used 2 half kits plus 1/2 of a half kit (1/4) for my 20' x 24' garage. I needed the additional 1/4 kit because I came up short on part A. Still not sure why. For the most part, it looks great. There are a few areas were the concrete was more porous and/or I applied the epoxy a little thin...

    Who's got a non $40 alternative to spike shoes?

    Mine are for sale. $10. :bounce: It took me about 10 minutes to make these. Didn't even bother cutting them shoe shaped. They worked great.

    My 20 X 24 garage build

    Time for an update. I got the epoxy floor done. I had a couple of issues, but in the end it turned out good. I still need to touch up some of the walls. The masking tape was a little too strong for the sheet rock. Next I need to figure out storage. I want some nice cabinets with doors, but...

    Another Epoxy-Coat Floor is in

    I'm finished!! I order another 1/2 kit and finished the last section yesterday. I was able to feather the two sections together pretty well. I just sanded about 3 inches of the previous section and carefully painted that edge with a brush. Thanks to Epoxy-Coat (Christine?) for taking care of...

    Another Epoxy-Coat Floor is in

    My issue was that I ran out of Part A and didn't have enough to make the forth and final batch. I still can't figure out where it went. Maybe the leftovers in buckets when I mixed the Part A's together? I know I measured right. The measuring sticks in the half kit say a single batch is...

    Another Epoxy-Coat Floor is in

    AArrrrrggggggggggg. I ran out of epoxy. I didn't have enough Part A. I can not figure out how this happened. Since I bought two half kits, I took the two Part A's and poured them both into one 2 gallon bucket. And it nearly filled it. So I know I had two gallons of Part A. I know I...

    Another Epoxy-Coat Floor is in

    Flaking is pretty easy. I did throw too much on my first throw. I would start with just a pinch. A little goes a long way when it hits the floor. And it's pretty easy to get even coverage. I used a back hand flip motion and threw the flakes up high. But then for spot targeting, I would...

    Another Epoxy-Coat Floor is in

    Well, half of it anyway. Today was the day. After many, many days of scrubbing, scraping, etching, and rinsing, I felt pretty good about the prep. Because I can’t leave stuff outside my garage for a few days, I have to do one half at a time. I’ll do the other side tomorrow. As far as...

    My shop build

    Very nice! Where did you buy the cabinets and what are the prices. The garage101 site doesn't seem to sell direct. Also, where did you get those gray open shelves? I'm looking for something just like that.

    Would you pay $240 for a pressure wash and acid etch?

    For the sake of argument, let's say it doesn't need grinding.
