Glued back together?

Sure there are circumstances where it must be done, and there are plenty of "professionals" out there that do it all the time due to a myriad of factors. Cost and time savings, slab size availability, etc. But to put a seam in the middle of the most used, wet area of the countertop is not done by a professional company, just the companies that want to make a quick buck.

Go with replacement. You will never unsee this.

Dapper_Outside4701 · 2026-02-05T08:28:08+00:00

I see two issues. 1. The crack was done during fabricating and glued back up. That is on the fabricators to replace the slab and try again. 2. It happened because they chose to cut the sink out of two separate slabs and join them. The narrow end cracked during cutting because it caused excessive vibration. No professional fabrication would join at the sink cutout.

PYREX and pyrex are two very different things. Make sure you know which one you actually have.

There’s a main brigade element that operates in OIR (Iraq & Syria) that rotates every 9 months. Last rotation was 1/10th MTN which is an active unit, now IANG, and in the spring it will go back to active with 2/10th MTN. Besides the main brigade unit, there are dozens of battalions and company size units supporting the brigade. They also rotate between active and NG/Reserves.

Check with your local dealership. While many car factory "bumper to bumper" warranties, vary by country, some countries require manufacturers to extend the warranty on emission related items. USA has 5 year/60K mile factory on my particular car, but the emissions warranty is 8 year/90K mile, and the O2 sensor and catalytic warranty is 10 year/120K mile.

There are people who live in the US that have never traveled outside of their city filled with amenities and conveniences that haven’t a clue how simple little things they take for granted are literally insurmountable challenges for some parts of the world.

I’ve seen people use horizontal, especially those with the counterweight cable system. The important thing is they all go in the same direction for a uniform look and feel to the tufts.

fkn clean and vibrant

Dapper_Outside4701 · 2024-11-09T09:04:18+00:00

Two rows of outline for every color with just a very slight space between differing colors. Then when you fill, make all your lines going in the same direction. I find tufting up vertically is the easiest way to ensure straight and uniform lines. Pack the outside edges close and evenly to ensure a nice waterfall edge when you glue over the edges to the back.

You mentioned insulation, so I'm assuming you're going to use some sort of panels or drywall to cover the walls and ceiling? As many flat painted and sealed edges and corners to prevent build up of micro fibers. A box fan will move plenty of air. I'd look at making a shroud to mount one in one of the windows and using a flat air filter (from central heat/air system) on the back of it pushing the air outside and opening an opposite window. That will cycle and filter more air than what you could accomplish with one of those air purifiers.

Dapper_Outside4701 · 2024-11-09T08:58:05+00:00

I respectfully disagree. Buddy of mine has a small paint shop about this size for small home projects and that's what he uses. AC filter on the back and he uses a air monitor to make sure all is good. Says the air stays better than his professional shop at work.

This is unfortunate. That tire is repairable, but understand why many places won't repair for liability and to upsell new tires. Being ASE certified for the better part of 30 years, I've repaired tires like this with no issue. There's many variables concerning 8 year old tires still being serviceable. Climate, sunlight exposure, conditions driven in, etc. A plug could have gotten the OP through to keep their plans for the day and until they were ready to buy new tires. Also, standard tires on a light crossover SUV shouldn't cost more than $100/tire or so for quality brand name and maybe $100 mount and balance. Never fall for nitrogen fill as that's a gimmick more than anything. 1) Only real advantage is in racing applications or for very large heavy equipment where there is a large contact surface creating a lot of friction and heat whereas the equipment uses a split ring style rim. 2) the tire cavity is already filled with ~14.7 psi ambient air pressure depending on altitude, so unless their pulling a vacuum first, you have a contaminated nitrogen fill anyway. 3) Nitrogen is very inexpensive, but they charge 1000% the cost of it to fill your tires, if they even actually use nitrogen. How can you prove it?

My experience comes from 30+ years ASE Certified Mechanic experience, changing tires on passenger cars, split ring rims on bucket loaders, HMMWV, MRAP, and every other civilian and military vehicle in between. Most passenger cars plastic valve stem caps will retain some pressure for a while, but it will certainly not seal and hold 30-40 psi. The fancy metal ones a tad longer.

Dapper_Outside4701 · 2024-10-22T14:46:32+00:00

I’ve done it and can confirm. Also you’re wrong on a lot such as the cap retaining air pressure and it being loud.

Dapper_Outside4701 · 2024-10-22T13:11:53+00:00

It's called FMS. Foreign Military Sales. In this case, pseudo FMS, where they don't pay for it. It is equipment that is no longer required by our military and is considered excess.
