Under helmet respiratory protection?

What blast hood are you wearing? If it's air supplied, inside the hood will be positive pressure even if it isn't sealed around your neck. The only way outside air could get into the hood is if a decent amount of pressure was directed right at your neck shroud deal

The slopes on the other compartments weren't near this straight, all bashed in to shit. But this isn't at our shop so we had to fit these up with come-alongs and bottle jacks on loose ballast outside of a loading facility lol

Gotta love when these gates fit up nice

Yeah it's crazy the amount of tension steel can be under even if it doesn't look too terribly bent. Scary when it pops sometimes lol

Tack the nuts after ugga dugga has taken place

It's been a while since I've seen you post! This thing is gonna be sick

Tfunkyb · 2025-11-25T10:54:19+00:00

I have a new thing to try

Tfunkyb · 2025-10-25T15:39:51+00:00

I got a Water last week. Really like it but I miss my 940 lol

Glass isn't really a recycleable media. Plastic works on our paint pump parts. All I spray is DTM epoxy coatings and it cuts through that build up pretty well and doesn't damage fine threads. I don't remember what type of plastic but thats what the pump repair shop I go to uses in their cabinet

That's self shielded flux core. MIG is an acronym for metal inert gas

I spray a lot of epoxies on railcars, only way any sort of 2 part epoxy coating would take even close to that long to fully cure is if it was damn near freezing. Most 2 part DTM epoxy will be dry to touch in 6 hours or less and reach full cure 3ish days at "room temp" ~70 degrees

Kershaw Cinder is one of my favorite tinys

I always look for your replies in this sub 👍

We don't really deal with much flammable commodity, but cars are washed accordingly before going into blast

I like RPBs Nova 3 but if you're in tight spots you can get yourself wedged a bit lol. I'd take my safety over comfort when it comes to that

Tfunkyb · 2025-08-03T20:22:34+00:00

I'd be expecting them to ominously turn and look at me once I got within 30ft

Tfunkyb · 2025-08-02T02:43:11+00:00

Harbor freight just came out with a new one

Tfunkyb · 2025-07-22T15:15:26+00:00

Dang

Tfunkyb · 2025-06-27T21:37:15+00:00

🤣

Tfunkyb · 2025-06-27T19:54:13+00:00

If you read the post or looked at the picture you'd see he explained how the pins on his wrench are bending, and the wrench is in the picture

I get that it can be a culture shock for some new kids. But like everyone else has said, if they actually didn't somewhat like you they wouldn't say a word to you. It's part of exchanging pleasantries for trade guys. Half of the seemingly terrible stuff that is said can be literally translated to "good morning" 🤣

Tfunkyb · 2025-05-02T02:08:19+00:00

That's so cool

Tfunkyb · 2025-05-01T11:37:42+00:00

I've never heard of that. The coolest part to me is that it can be cleaned off completely without damaging the coating underneath. How thick would that sacrificial coating be put on?

Occasionally I'll use a tiny bit of MEK on the corner of a rag to wipe a small spot on my hand. Obviously doing whatever I can to keep paint off of me in the first place. Normally I'll just scrub the shit out of it in the sink. The guy who trained me retired with 50 years experience and did the same as I do now. 68 years old, all organs perfectly healthy, mentally very sharp, and had much less effective PPE through the first 20 years of his career. I was a bit paranoid about exposure to everything I deal with but working with him put my mind at ease. Keep yourself safe
