    I live in the NE in Ma. I am considering using RaceDeck flooring. Which would be better for my climate? Racedeck or epxoy?

    When does the sweating happen? I grew up in MA in Worcester county and remember the garage floor getting dripping wet from temperature changes and condensation. If that’s the case epoxy really won’t help I think

    Humidity control: what to do first?

    How about an entry chamber of sorts, so when you have to open the big door, all the dry air doesn’t go out the door along with temperature swings. PS, oh yeah, forgot to mention how nice your shop is!

    Fun with red thread locker

    I have had some luck spraying a solvent like carb or brake cleaner to soften it up. Or you could put the vice on a fire or bbq to cook it good enough to the same effect.

    So, I have found a Proto 1421 hammer that looks to have an offset wooden handle. Was this a thing? The photo looks like it may have been made this way?

    Mildew on wood

    Here is what google ai says While both are fungi thriving in damp environments, mildew stays on the surface as a flat, powdery growth, whereas mold burrows into materials, appearing fuzzy and in various dark colors.

    Mildew on wood

    We can get an additive here you mix into paint to make it mold resistant. I think hydrogen peroxide will kill mold, bleach doesn’t.

    welding pinholes in sheetmetal,TIG?

    I know you didn’t ask and I might get roasted but have you thought about filling the hole with solder. Acid free and would have to be absolutely spotless. I have a large electric soldering iron that would put the heat right where it’s needed.

    Plastic Fuel tank Repair

    Is it cracked? I’ve had ok luck welding plastic using a soldering iron and a tie wrap for filler. Never did a fuel tank though. I think most epoxy or glues will tend to lift off over time.

    Fuel tank cleaning (car) tips or tricks?

    It depends how diy you want to get. If you filled the tank with water and drain crystals (lye) it would probably lift the gunk and varnish. Once that’s gone you could use the citric acid method of rust removal posted here to get any rust. Then use a good tank liner.

    Cast iron bandsaw table has a bow in it.

    I think I would make up a new top with some quality plywood. Maybe add a wear resistant top if that’s a concern. Look up woodgears bandsaw for some ideas.
