Well I have a good air system – bone dry air. This oughta do the trick. Plus, it just looks fancy.

Does the shop come with the hood?
That’s perty :rock
Is there a small compressor system that will pump you breathable air? I’d love to avoid hauling a big hose around. At this point I still use a little ghetto mask…..
also, the nature of anything polyester is it WILL shrink a couple percent. Gotta remember that. Don’t shoot poly on a quick job.
I think it as much as 20% with acetone and it sprays real nice. Learned that trick a while back, and am loving it.
I’ve never had any issues with topcoats on slick sand. I use a LOT of slicksand on little stuff, but most of it is vinyl-wrapped. The trouble is it always seems to have pinholes, so if I’m painting over it I usually shoot 2k just to be safe.
I don’t blend much, so I can’t speak to this. I’m lousy at it any way :deadhorse
I’m sold on Dynabrade after sampling several at the tools at the last SEMA show. What boggles my mind is how many lines they have! Every possible option for every imaginable application in every industry.
I think my next sander, as my ol’ Hutchins blue is pretty old, will be the Dynabrade 69028 – Silver Supreme self-vac sander, 6″, 3/16″ orbit. I’ll get a mirka pad with a billion holes, and abranet abrasives. NO DUST :rock
[quote=”just2quick” post=25534]I know that a lot of technicians use the H&S Stinger Plus, which is what I was going to purchase to start with since it is the only stud welder I have ever used. Then I ran across a Snap On that was in better condition and from a more reputable individual.
My questions are: how does the snap on stud welder compare with the H&S Stinger Plus?
Do the Snap On gun hold the stud pins without dropping them out when pointed at the ground?
Is the snap on gun a re-branded Motorguard magna spot?Thanks[/quote]
I think you’re right about it being motorguard – at least that’s what I thought when I saw one a few years ago.
The H&S doesn’t drop the pins. I love mine.
I’m still using duramix. 3m bought them, but many of the models didn’t change at all – at least, not as far as I can tell.
for example, 4240 is the new 4040.
[quote=”Performance Restorations” post=25047]I use compressor air for our respirators at our shop and really like it, I filter the air 4 times before it reaches the respirator and have a CO monitor. I use 3M Full Face masks, for what we do at our shop, mostly farm equipment and trucks these work exceptionally well, they stay on your face. This way too I only drag around one air hose, It took a little time to get used to the hose belted to your side, but i actually like it because I feel you have better control of things. It can get awkward when laying under a machine spraying paint though. Here are a few pictures of my set up.[/quote]
this looks like an awesome, simple setup!
then go with parker. They last a LONG time.
I’ve been dying to try Prevost fittings.
Parker is also TOP notch. great stuff.
Industrial E is the highest-flow of any of the typical fitting styles. Prevost, and some others, are propreitary, so once you switch there’s no other options. Not that you’d want any……
[quote=”C_REX” post=24728]$8600 for a compressor and dryer doesnt seem to be be cheaping out to me Bob lol, my main concern was basically for the air dryers in the paint booth because the compressor will be running pretty steady I would imagine so just figured the screw type would be better because I read they are more efficient and wont create nearly as much heat as the piston type.[/quote]
:agree
I’d just say get what you need, like Wydir said, and go for a quality piece of equipment – I got a nice 7.5 for $2400. To get a screw you’re looking at 4 times that before you find quality units. That was all I meant.
I already had the dryer, but I’ll be upgrading that at some point with a Tsunami.
I’ve got some cheaper boots now, but my last set of hikers were like $200 and I blew through them in 1 year on concrete….. no rebuilding those softies.
I’m of the opinion that unless you’re in the market for a $10k or more compressor, just stick with a reciprocator. I got a 7.5 for my little shop and I love it.
Running 3-4 guys, I think a screw would be worth it. Just don’t cheap out. :deadhorse
You guys need some logger boots. Bondo’s got the right idea.
The raised heel helps my back. The tough rubber makes them last.
