Considering they filled half the trunk with expanding foam , and covered it with body filler . I don't think structural integrity was high up on thier to do list

it's a all show and no go car.

i really shouldn't comment, since i expect my first attempt at glassing to end up VERY crappy

But the difference is that you admit what you don't know, and that you aren't calling yourself a professional.

I love the dude who posted pics of his car that he rolled after trying to hit an armadillo, made me laugh. The fact that he didn't hit it is even funnier.

I am not sure its real. He has been here a little bit now, and started a bunch of new topics. But I was not sure if it was serious either, maybe its me trying to avoid animals who are born with body armor. Oh the story to tell the grandkids.

Oh well, either way its amusing.

It appears I am meeting up with a local SSA member jearhart come monday...

He seems to find my home setup intriguing.

Pulling out math is all good sometimes, but when you know damn sure they can't follow it, you are just pissing into the wind.

Pissing into the wind leaves such a mess for the person attempting it, occasionally I've found its better to hold for a little while till your out of the wind.

There is something called aiming downwind.

Can always just practice wetting a couple pieces first, so you can get your technique down.

IMO, cutting down the brush so that the bristles are short & dab, dab, dab works great. If you have to glass a vertical or something fighting gravity, some spray glue will help keep the matt up.

The sad part is I know some people who aren't smart enough to figure that out...

i almost forgot how that looks. never got it for a long while buti expect it soon after posting this

[Adrian_D 520]

listening to music after working with a concrete mixer sucks

the manual said the noise level was 70dB.

[///M5 2,833]

They just didn't state at what frequency or distance they measured the 70db.

Umm, yeah it is 70dB at 1.5 miles at 15kHz. Nice.

[Adrian_D 520]

worn pinion had something to do with the extreme noise level.

[topgun 262]

Is there anything dealing with concrete that isn't loud?

[///M5 2,833]

went from busy to slow here pretty fast, but considering that the past few days there were almost no posts that is pretty good.

Hopefully later on today and at latest tomorrow I will have pics of my boat seat up. It has taken longer to do than I expected but not because of the time to do it but the motivation to work on it. Being it is just going up for sale it hasnt' really been all that high up my list. This is my first major vinyl job though!

[Godsmack 361]

Smoothing it?

[ANeonRider 3]

I should take the afternoon off... well, if it was busy here, I would. But, nothing going on right now, so no point in wasting leave if I'm just sitting on my butt here.
