  1. No snow here in FLA but the high today of only 49 and going into the 20 tonight. I have to adjust the pool timer to run most of the night.
  2. Outstanding and so SHINY
  3. Mine wasn't wrapped either. No idea about Sweden.
  4. 1/4" adaptor for an Iwata AB from Coast Airbrush to start. Actually, I started with a cart from Harbor Freight or Northern Tool and fit the compressor on the bottom shelf. Along the side I made a manifold with 2 shutoff valves. One goes to the AB with the 1/4" fitting and the other goes to an air line too shoot straight air to dry bodies.
  5. I bought one of these years ago. http://www.lowes.com/pd_470440-30449-0120212A___?productId=50041084&Ns=p_product_price|0&pl=1&Ntt=air+compressors
  6. Very creative.
  7. I've heard the compressor don't send a steady stream of air - they pulse. That doesn't sound good to me.
  8. Motor will run until the reserve tank is full. As you're using the AB, the tank will use air and the motor will kick on again to fill the tank. It doesn't run constantly. At least mine doesn't. You're not limited to a hobby compressor. I use a dual tank unit from Lowe's. Pancake compressors also work well.
  9. Can't go wrong with Iwata. Make sure the compressor you get has a reserve tank and a water trap.
  10. Thanks Dave.
  11. Thanks Tom.
  12. Thanks very much Wayne.
  13. Thanks Joe.
  14. That's pretty cool . . . ah if only it was SHINY .
  15. Marcia let me put up a 20 x 40 steel building several years ago. I took 10 x 20 of the building and framed, insulated, power, drywalled, painted, light, water, heat, air, vinyl flooring, for my hobby area. I also do stained glass so there's plenty of workbench space.
  16. Welcome Gergo from a disabled Veteran (Marine). I use Canopy 500 for head & tail lights. Dries clear. CA glue will frost clear parts and chrome.
  17. I used epoxy paint on the garage and shop floors years ago. Nice stuff but make sure you put some type of mat on the floor where the tires will sit. Hot tires will pull up the paint.
  18. Thanks Harry, Frank and Ray. And it has mirrors, Harry.
  19. Thanks Ray.
  20. Thanks Tony.
  21. Thanks Carl.
  22. Surfaces to be bonded with Bondic should be rough. It doesn't stick well to glossy parts.
