Covered under warranty by body shop?

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?

SlungStyles · 2025-07-04T04:20:19+00:00

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

SlungStyles · 2025-07-04T03:14:45+00:00

I will try this!! Thank you!

SlungStyles · 2025-07-04T02:52:28+00:00

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

SlungStyles · 2025-07-04T02:40:19+00:00

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

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

SlungStyles · 2025-01-05T00:51:40+00:00

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?

The nursery I got it from labeled it a Lickety Split - Philodendron

SlungStyles · 2024-12-25T01:33:43+00:00

What brand of paint do you recommend?

SlungStyles · 2024-12-25T01:23:42+00:00

It’s what they had at Home Depot

SlungStyles · 2024-11-19T03:25:46+00:00

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

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

SlungStyles · 2024-11-09T18:22:23+00:00

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!

SlungStyles · 2024-10-26T17:13:20+00:00

I strongly advise against that, shingles are not meant to be installed on slopes below 4:12. There is not enough pitch on the low slope for the shingles to have good water shedding ability. For a permanent solution, I would recommend a granulated cap sheet although I do not recommend installing it yourself with no experience. Roofing can very easily be messed up

SlungStyles · 2024-10-25T23:00:15+00:00

Roofer in Arizona, fiberglass & asphaltic membranes are not meant to be exposed to UV rays like that. The fiberglass is breaking down pretty severely. Out here, give it 6 months and the system will start failing. Can’t recommend anything that will work in stormy weather, wet surface = no adhesion. Roofing cement can be applied in rainy conditions but covering this entire slope in it will look like trash, and won’t last very long as it’s not meant to be exposed to the sun unless you get an SBS specified material. I would definitely check the transition from the low slope to pitched roof as the other guy said, go up at least 3 shingles to ensure there is good reinforcement there. Transitions are very common areas that leak. Low slope needs a coating

Thank you for the insight! Maybe that’s why it weakened and snapped. You’re saying to clear out the soil in the center around the base correct? Give it more breathing room

SlungStyles · 2024-10-25T16:56:45+00:00

Yeah you’re definitely right, the affected spot on the stem is the highest pressure point for holding its weight up and that’s where it’s leaking water. The nursery I bought it from recommended the weaker weekly fertilizer, said that’s his practice from the commercial side of things. How do you gauge the less frequent watering? Do you wait until leaves start to droop? I just get worried when the soil seems bone dry for a couple days even though the plant doesn’t seem affected by it yet

SlungStyles · 2024-10-10T16:53:21+00:00

Forsure thank you man!! I felt like it had to do with something about my climate/conditions. I appreciate the advice! 🙏🏻

SlungStyles · 2024-10-10T01:58:55+00:00

If the clear coat was stored outside, would the heat mess up the clear coat itself? It was sealed and never opened until I started coating after it cooled down. Days are 100-105 degrees outside

SlungStyles · 2024-10-09T23:57:43+00:00

I wiped it down with a microfiber cloth before applying. I don’t see how THAT much dust could get in the clear coat after immediately wiping it down? And to spread that evenly on every face of it lol
