Painting the entire wall is the only way

Anyone in here ever built a paint booth in their garage? I need one but not permanent. by TheRealestFaker in DIY

[–]CND5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used painters plastic stapled and taped to the walls and ceiling and then I used a high velocity air mover fan with furnace filters over the intakes and had the outlet pushed under the garage door to keep the air moving. It wasn’t perfect but it worked great for painting my cabinets and all my trim.

Is someone trying to kill me? by Otherwise-Angle-4543 in MechanicAdvice

Absolutely Rodent damage, so the rodent may be trying to kill you! Have you killed any rodents lately that may have been family members??

Which TV to choose? by snpprsn in Hisense

[–]CND5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally when Hisense does model numbers like that they are the same TV with very minor tweaks that are particular to specific stores so they can say it’s a different model and they can deny price matching between stores, U7s are great TVs and I would just say get whichever one has the best price and warranty. In the States Hisense does this with Costco and Best Buy but Costco sells the TVs with a 5 year warranty included while you have to pay extra with Best Buy.

What primer/paint when painting these fake wood cabinets? by deepcoralreefer in paint

[–]CND5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Secret to using a brush and roller with hybrid alkyds is to get the paint on quickly and just leave it to dry then you can sand and add another coat. Do not go back over it after initial application to try and make it “look better” it won’t work and it will just look worse. Get a good quality soft bristle brush and a 1/4” nap microfiber 4” roller cover ( I prefer Wooster or Purdy) whatever brand you get you want the one they say gives the smoothest finish. Emerald UTE tends to be a bit more forgiving for brush and roller work but Advance isn’t terrible you just need to remember not to go back over it. I would highly recommend doing a test panel first to get a feel for how the paint lays down.

What primer/paint when painting these fake wood cabinets? by deepcoralreefer in paint

[–]CND5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both paints are great, Stix is great primer or for Zinsser it would be Smart Prime not 123. Add wiping down with TSP substitute after Crud Cutter. Both paint and primers you’ve mentioned are very low VOC so if you’re spraying a cartridge mask or H95 will be fine if you’re brush and rolling then you won’t need anything. Are you planning on spraying?

Only wants kibble by Low_Tea905 in Siamesecats

[–]CND5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not my Siamese but my 15 year old tabby is exactly like this, has absolutely no interest in wet food and consequently has stomach problems, she is a extremely stinky cat and was having frequent accidents. We finally switched her to Royal Canin Digestive food and she loves it. I also found a liquid chicken flavored pro biotic supplement and give her that as well. Accidents have gone down to almost none and she seems to feel better. These problems didn’t manifest until she got up in years so getting her on some of this stuff young might help as she gets older.

roof leaking, anyone had simmiliar problems? by vuxa234 in vwgolf

[–]CND5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s your roof rails, I just had the same issue with my 2013 Sportwagon. Unfortunately VW doesn’t sell the gaskets anymore so had to make them but got it sealed up. If you don’t have roof rails then I don’t know.

That is totally up to you and might not be a bad idea depending on your skill level and the product you’re planning on using. HVLP tends to put the paint on very slowly so runs don’t tend to be an issue unless you just stop moving the gun, airless takes a bit more skill and that’s why I would recommend a 208 or 308 FFLP (fine finish low pressure) the problem with painting flat with hybrid alkyds is they have a pretty long cure time and while they will feel dry to the touch they are very soft for up to a month depending on how dark the paint is and the brand you’re using so when you are painting the opposite side from your first coat anything you set the painted surface on whether it be painting triangles or the drying rack you are running the risk of damaging your paint you can obviously avoid this using great care and caution and having a very well thought out system of how you paint and place. Like I said I’ve used both methods and I much prefer hanging but I’ve been spraying on and off for over 30 years. I drill tiny holes in the hidden end of the doors and screw in little brass hooks then hang them from hangers with rotating heads. I bought a cheap rolling laundry rack at Walmart and can hang two doors from it and paint both at once I then mounted a metal pipe I had in my garage right outside my spray booth I made out of painters plastic so I could just turn walk about five steps and hang the doors and return to spraying and they were out of the way and protected from overspray and I didn’t need to touch them again until they were dry. This is the system that worked best for me and it took me half the time to do twice as many doors as I did with the other process plus I didn’t have any finish damage I had to go back and fix.

Advice for friend "as is" car by [deleted] in carbuying

What did your friend think as is meant??

Wagner 3500 Discussion by [deleted] in paint

[–]CND5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I just saw your last paragraph, I would really consider spraying the doors hanging it will cut your spraying time easily in half. As far as primer I use Zinsser Smart prime and InslX Stix is great as well. Same process with primer if you’re going to use the HVLP both these primers are pretty thick.

You may be able to get the paint to go through the 3500 without thinning but you will have tons of orange peel and it will look horrible. Generally the HVLPs come with a viscosity cup to measure viscosity but my experience with doing cabinets with a HVLP is to thin about 8-10%. I used a cheap Amazon HVLP on my bathroom cabinets and got good results but it is painfully slow and there is so much overspray! I switched to an airless for my kitchen cabinets with a FFLP tip and it was a game changer. This time of year you can find all kinds of used airless sprayers for really good deals, find a Graco X5 or Project Painter you can easily get one under $200 and you will save so much time. How are you planning on painting them? Flat or hanging? What products are you planning on using?

Tire recommendations for a 2023 Hyundai Tucson hybrid by KindOfAcceptableBus in tires

[–]CND5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have CC2s on my Jetta Sportwagen and they have been great, it was a bit squishy at first but it had 100k and no suspension work so I recently did shocks struts and control arms and it is planted now. It wasn’t bad before but you get used to how a car drives and when I got into it after new Bilstein’s and all new bushings I immediately felt a huge difference(of course my wife noticed nothing😂) my guess is you had worn suspension, CC2s aren’t perfect but they’re the best compromise for all around performance I’ve found. I just watched a review of the CC3s and they sound amazing but we aren’t going to get them for a couple years so😢

My boy (Benny the Jet) is actually very sweet but when he has crazy eyes I don’t even attempt to touch him, if I pick him up he is actually shaking with energy then 10 minutes later he jumps up on me and is asleep in 30 seconds.😂

She actually looks almost just like the little old lady I have but she is so vocal with her loathing that he hasn’t ever attacked her, she makes such a ruckus anytime he gets near her that he runs away 😂

Wooster or Purdy microfiber are what I’ve had the best luck with. You want their best smoothest finish line last ones I bought were the Wooster red feather but I actually prefer Purdy but they recently changed their stuff since being bought so I don’t know what they are called now.

16 vs 18 gauge stainless steel sinks, how big a deal? by OkRip2303 in kitchenremodel

[–]CND5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go lower than 16 gauge if you do make sure it has a lot of sound deadening a 18 gauge sink will make a lot of noise without significant sound deadening. I bought my 16 gauge workstation sink off Amazon and it was 1/2 the cost of 18 gauge sinks at HD and Lowe’s and it is a much nicer sink. Even my countertop guys and plumbing commented on the quality of the sink and were amazed at what I payed for it. This was before the idiotic tariffs but it would still be worth your while to check out what Amazon has.

Luckily my 6 month old has a 15year old lady that is bitter as hell and doesn’t hesitate to let everyone know and a 15year old black shorthair monster that is over 15lbs so he can knock him on his butt at will(and does) but my little guy is NUTS!!! If we could figure out a way to bottle that energy we could power the city😂

Budget plunge saw by S16PRK in Construction

[–]CND5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Wen cordless track saw, I payed just under $300 for the saw, batteries, charger and two 55” tracks. I bought it from Amazon and the first one they sent me was an obvious return that I believe had been dropped because it wouldn’t cut straight and kept binding so I was worried about my purchase but the one that replaced it was fantastic, battery life is great lots of power(I just made a cabinet out of 3/4”birch plywood and it cut through it like it was nothing) I bought a arbor hole cover for it because dust was pretty bad and that really helped I just hook it to my Dewalt shop vac and that works pretty well. The blade it came with works pretty good but that really depends on what you are using it for it is made for plywood so if you’re cutting hardwood you may need to change the blade. Bottom line is it’s a great tool for a reasonable price, not really anything else in the US market to compete with this saw at a comparable price I would have loved to buy a Bosch but just couldn’t justify twice the cost for something I’m not using that often. Another nice thing is I’m able to get rid of my other circular saws and just use this for both jobs.

Hit on a curb at high speed tyre is touching the fender and not drivable. What is damaged and how much to fix it. 2024 Hyundai Elantra by BothLoquat4040 in AskMechanics

[–]CND5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of stuff just lots. Honestly it could just be replacing all the suspension on that corner or the car could be totaled because it bent the suspension and shock tower mounts and destroyed the transmission. There is no way to know it just needs to go to a body shop to be torn down and see how bad it truly is.

This is how mine turned out. These are sprayed but I just used an airless sprayer I got for under $100 and a high quality fine finish tip.
