    Painting/Priming WITHOUT prior sandblasting???

    First of all, latex paint will not seal the steel. Latex paint is meant for wood and other porous materials to allow them to breathe. Use a good oil based or acrylic enamel to properly seal the metal. Second, you don't have to remove all the rust if you use a chemical converter like this rust...

    Source for sand/beadblasting media?

    When I was in the Navy, I used a Survivair respirator for everything but polyurethane. I bought one a few years ago and the respirator was only $15 and a box of 12 cartridges was about $25. Do a search and see if there is a supplier near you.

    Source for sand/beadblasting media?

    Also, for small parts, you can use water, some sodium carbonate (not sodium BIcarbonate, but I here it works, too) and a battery charger to convert the rust back to steel. Just put the negative lead on the part to be done, the positive lead on a piece of steel and drop them both in the...

    Source for sand/beadblasting media?

    If you are doing open blasting like the side of the bead or something where you lose all the media, cleaned play sand will work as well as anything and it MUCH cheaper than Black Beauty or glass beads.

    Pics or opinions on hauling 2 M105A2 trailers? On 1 trailer.

    Some people know this but others don't. When you load a trailer the trailer MUST have more weight on the front than the back. If you load the trailer so that the tongue wants to raise up in the air, the trailer will be UNSTABLE and fishtail like a, well, a fish. And if the trailer is big...

    M35 Injector Line Ferrules

    Linda's New Deuce

    RE: Linda These trucks have probably been setting for at least 6 months. There is the possibility of diesel runaway, which is bad. The fuel cutoff lever won't kill the engine because it has started sucking oil past the rings and is burning that. The way to kill the engine is to starve it of...

    Wagner Power Sprayer for truck painting

    IMO, the Wagner is worthless. Take it back and get a HVLP air powered sprayer. Even a cheap one is better than the Wagner.

    Snap On Calendar Deuceswild Deuce!

    SnapOn makes fine tools but they are overpriced. If you work in a place where the SnapOn guy comes around regularly, it's great. But if you are just an average Joe, getting SnapOn tools replaced is a pain. Craftsman may not make the best tools, but getting them replaced is as easy as driving to...
