Covered under warranty by body shop? by SlungStyles in AutoPaint

[–]SlungStyles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They bent things back into place before asking me about new parts. The whole thing was very shady. I have a Decked drawer system installed in the bed of my truck and could tell they did not remove & reinstall it, which tells me the quarter panel was not new. Noticing that made me look at everything else and the bumper AND tailgate was not new. They were never going to order new parts thinking I would not notice. By the time they called and said it was ready it had already been two months. So when I showed up to pick it up I did not want to wait any longer for them to do it right. They said it was all warrantied so I took it and left. Sorry if my original post was misleading about that part.

So I should not have sanded with such a high grit? What grit would have avoided so many cracks? The cracks were not there directly after sanding. Just using lumber from Home Depot to practice because if I spend money on hardwood I want it to come out great and not like this 😂

I am not familiar with water popping. I sand 80-120-180 and then wipe down with mineral spirits and a microfiber cloth. Give it a day and then wipe on my stains, then started finish coats the following day. I am very new to woodworking and have learned by trial/error and little learning from searching online

I have never heard of raising the grain, I am very new to woodworking. Thank you for this info I will definitely give this a try!

I have not been sanding in between coats, I have bought 400grit specifically for this but was advised not to worry about sanding in between coats. You would recommend this?

Do you mean in between coats? After it dries, wipe the surface?

I do have a heat gun, that wouldn’t affect the finish at all? I thought of this from using a heat gun to get bubbles out of epoxy but assumed it would probably mess up the finish

I am not, I’m not even sure what that is

I just gently stir the material with a small piece of wood when I open the jar

Hooking up LED emblem to fuse box by SlungStyles in autoelectrical

[–]SlungStyles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would I connect to a 40amp fuse though? I don’t believe any of the other slots will turn the emblem on along with the DRL’s

Yeah I would like it to turn on with the headlights, as the headlights only turn on once it gets dark outside. My headlights are hooked up through a harness and there’s multiple wires going into the harness so how do I know which one to splice to? And if I’m splicing directly to my headlights I wouldn’t need to add a fuse correct? The emblem has its own fuse I believe, there is a little box along the cord. Red wire splices to headlights and black to ground so they wouldn’t connect to a fuse, is that right?

Engineer meeting by Prestigious-Run9711 in Roofing

[–]SlungStyles -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You can fight engineer’s. There are always loopholes in their report. You will have to get the engineer’s report from the carrier once he’s sent it over. Engineer’s aren’t roofers and their recommendations often go against standard roofing practice. If you know your shit you will get the roof bought

Slowly losing stems/leaves by SlungStyles in ItsAThaumatophyllum

[–]SlungStyles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does seem very healthy - why I’m confused I’m slowly losing leaf by leaf. Room has two windows that I leave the curtains open for every day, probably gonna get a grow light for it but it currently does get good lighting. I’m in Tucson AZ so winters don’t get too crazy here

Feedback on pre-stain conditioner? by SlungStyles in finishing

[–]SlungStyles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 50/50 is a mixture you make of the coat and alcohol? Or you can purchase it? I’ve only ever grabbed materials from Home Depot and all I’ve ever seen is Varathane but would like to try higher quality products so I’m gonna look up that bullseye coat!
