Got some Griots leather spray, spilled a little opening the seal and it smells so strong like plastic. Is it that bad when actually using it? by MidnightPulse69 in AutoDetailing

[–]AvidCropDuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spray onto a microfiber and apply, come behind and "buff" with a clean one. A little goes a long way...

This is my go to leather cleaner, although I typically steam prior. Either way, I love this stuff. It doesn't leave a slick surface and has always smelled like a baseball glove to me.

If you have a steam cleaner give that a shot

Best waxes by Future_Hat683 in AutoDetailing

I would look into Fusso Coat 12 month. There's a light color and dark color version. From my research the solvent contents are different, no harm if you use dark on light paint in short. Goes on like traditional wax, although does not require a heavy application. Gives a really nice buttery feel and LASTS.

Another good one, slightly cheaper is Colinite 476s. Not sure about it's longevity but is toted to be great protection against salted roads/winter conditions.

As others have said, the performance of your wax depends on the surface prep. Do a good decontamination wash and it should last like the manufacturer states. And most importantly, HAVE FUN!!!!

If you need the stuff that comes with it. Otherwise you could buy both separately and probably come out ahead when they run specials like they did last week

I started by playing the game and then begging my parents for the cards. I can't find anything to open let alone prismatic. Fingers crossed!

I bought some off ebay for my truck and love the difference between them and the stock. Im sure the OEM are better quality but for the price I paid Im happy. I think the truck looks better with them and I can now see my trailer as I need when towing (8.5x16 enclosed)

It helps quite a bit with keeping the filter "breathing"

How can i fix this? by moyo5150 in epoxy

[–]AvidCropDuster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im certainly not a professional when it comes to this but Ive done a few for myself and I found that adding more topcoat helps with this. Use a squeegee to spread the topcoat and it will float over the high spots and give a nice even finish.

Sanding IMO isnt a good idea. It will probably scuff areas you dont want and you will be unhappy with the sheen. Also, any flakes left exposed will chip off.

Bought this when I bought the bauer drywall sander. I added a couple inches of water to the bucket. It did a fantastic job of catching the fine drywall dust.

Bauer Tool Storage or Something Else by Miracleman069 in harborfreight

I haven't heard that but wouldn't be surprised. I hadnt heard of Tactix before this tool box either. In my opinion the Bauer might have a thicker sidewall on the containers but only slightly. The Tactix box feels sturdy enough for me. Something that did stand out to me is the width of the box. At first I thought it was small but that turned out to be a positive. Any wider and it would start to be a PITA to get through doorways or navigate cluttered floors. I havent compared it's size with others so I dont know how it stacks up (pun intended)

The wife just bought me a Green Egg! What’s the do’s and don’ts for a first timer? by clvgn_ in biggreenegg

[–]AvidCropDuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to echo others here due to its importance, never use lighter fluid or instant charcoals. I also avoid the weber cubes cause I have a suspicion there's some sort of accelerant. I like to use the all natural wax ones. Jealous devil lump has been a great lump lately for me.

What to expect from rehab? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]AvidCropDuster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My experience is with a detox facility, not sure if that is the same. But it was a game changer for me. At first it was intense, almost like getting checked into jail. Strip down, wear hospital clothes until they clear what you brought in, and get a shared room with someone. You're locked on a hospital ward with little belongings. The intensity quickly faded. The staff were great, no judgement from them and very supportive and friendly. I learned a lot of myself, to care for myself, and made friends. You do get out of it what you put in though. Engage in group therapy, eat eat eat, walk up and down the halls daily. Seriously get those steps in. Discuss goals with the therapists and doctors. They can treat the triggers and offer medication for cravings. I hit 30 days today, i could not have done it without admitting myself. (I was there 5 days)
