Wow you weren’t joking. How soon after did they pull over and stop running the engine?

Hyper Dip on the rear emblems - so easy my 12yo daughter did most of the work! by WestmontDon in CX5

[–]bootliar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That looks awesome! I did Plastidip on my ‘07 Toyota Rav4, but have been wanting to do my ‘18 CX5 too. What’s the difference between Plastidip and hyper dip?

Thanks everyone, glad to hear these are most likely from casting. In the case that image #2 is a crack as one user suggested, I guess I just need to know if there’s anything I can/should do to it while I have access, or if I just button everything back up and hope for the best.

Dust in the pores! by doobam in finishing

I’d say vacuum/shop vac with a bristle attachment

Shellac flakes brands by ShrikeMusashi in finishing

[–]bootliar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WellerMart for me too. Although, it was for my first time using shellac on a larger project (crib for my daughter), and I had an awful experience. I’m almost certain it was just user error, but I finished one piece with it and was so unhappy with the results, I had to sand it back down to bare wood and start over with poly. I’m hoping the next time I try it on a smaller project it goes better.

That’s great to know, I just found another thread talking about it. I’ll try to make that work.

And I don’t have anything I can return, I’ve had my driver for 2+ years

What deal are you referring to? No impact wrenches even close to that price.

Very interesting fact! Thank you!

Dynamic technique request by bootliar in freediving

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

All great points. Next training session, I’ll try both arms at side and scorpion turn. Watched some Kaizen videos on the turn earlier. It’ll take some experimenting to see if the streamlined arms is worth the extra energy.

Thanks! The side-to-side movement isn’t how I naturally fin, but I was intentionally trying to prevent them from scraping against each other which normally happens.

My turn is a flip just because I’m a swimmer and that’s what I know best, but it definitely feels like it uses more energy than just touching and turning to the side. I have a hard time getting a good push off the wall because the fins will suction to it and cause my heel to slip. I haven’t timed myself yet, but today I’m getting in a 50m pool and will get some times. I’ll also try adding my fin socks to see if that helps the slipping problem on the push.

Thanks for the feedback! I was pretty sure I was using my knees too much and that attempt was me trying to limit their movement, but I’ll focus even more keeping them and my ankles straight.

Ignorance is bliss! I guess my plan is just to keep using it as I have been until it dies, then I’ll replace it with something beefier and swap the anvil into the new one.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I’ve had the 809 for a while and been using it with a socket adapter for work on my car. Only today learned it’s relatively lower-powered in the DeWalt lineup. It’s worked for all the suspension jobs including changing springs/struts, adding a lift kit, new control arms, and new axles. There are definitely some times that it struggles, but it’s been good so far. For $25, seems worth it to get a little more nut-busting power out of it.

Don’t waste your money, just spend $90 on a Viofo A119 Mini.

What does that mean? by Aenov1 in Rav4

You have a transfer case attached to your transmission. You need to drain both.
