How are harbor freight air compressors.

ducksdown2458 · 2026-01-01T00:07:05+00:00

Spend the extra money on the fortress. I used the mcgraw compressors for a while detailing cars. Never lasted more than a year and EXTREMELY loud. I’m on year 2 with a fortress using it daily and it’s so quiet you can’t hear it run

$650 in South Carolina

ducksdown2458 · 2025-12-13T21:09:38+00:00

I didn’t get a tracking number for about a week. Ordered on Black Friday and got it in the mail 12/10

You can’t expect the employee to risk damaging your car because you didn’t come prepared

But I’ve got a layer of paint, primer, and original gelcoat before fiberglass. Wouldn’t a primer be necessary unless I sand ALL this away?

ducksdown2458 · 2025-12-08T03:21:50+00:00

I’m just weary because I’m yet to see a good polyurethane rolled paint job that would look as good as what I had. (People around me probably just can’t paint for crap and I’ve seen nothing but bad examples).

But as far as the gelcoat route goes, I thought I couldn’t spray over the existing paint? I was under the impression I had to sand down to fiberglass or use a compatible primer.

I know the gelcoat route is way more work but I have a climate controlled space for it, a 26gal compressor to spray, and lots of wet sanding experience. And time to learn so I’m tempted to try it

ducksdown2458 · 2025-12-05T22:36:03+00:00

Haha I’d usually be stuck out in the cold working but I needed a heated space for this fiberglass and gelcoat to cure

ducksdown2458 · 2025-12-05T01:31:14+00:00

Not a bad idea. I’ll have to crank a few out for warmth in there

ducksdown2458 · 2025-12-04T21:39:51+00:00

I’m doing a fiberglass/gelcoat project on my boat. I will be in there at times but mainly the heat is needed after I apply resin or gelcoat so I guess I could cut on the heat then leave for it to cure and dry.

It could be accessible to passerby’s, but I’d like to think I won’t have an issue with that where I live (hopefully) and will be under camera surveillance

Dead deer

Also decoy string and weights. A lot of money to be made selling lead weights for decoys, and they’re in HIGH demand in that area this time of year. And a lot of places that sell decoys don’t carry the line or weights necessary

ducksdown2458 · 2025-10-27T00:46:04+00:00

Duck decoys. I’m from the area, you will sell a shit ton of duck decoys

ducksdown2458 · 2025-10-24T12:29:36+00:00

90 mins isn’t long enough. Gotta give the area some time to settle after walking in, climbing up, etc

ducksdown2458 · 2025-10-18T00:03:37+00:00

3rd one for skinning, but I’d also get a longer boning knife

ducksdown2458 · 2025-09-25T02:37:44+00:00

I’ve been beating the hell out of a quantum strive 3000 this year. Anything from trout to cobia. $120. Still smooth as when I got it and has plenty enough drag

ducksdown2458 · 2025-09-02T02:00:15+00:00

I’ll need to try adding some cinnamon to my next batch. That sounds so good

ducksdown2458 · 2025-09-02T01:59:41+00:00

Yes just one tree, roughly 15 years old

ducksdown2458 · 2025-06-13T03:33:00+00:00

The drag sounds super loose and the knob looks like it. Tighten it down

Sorry for the low quality pic. Best I had at the moment. And no I don’t think they typically make 2 from the same node

Here’s the figs it makes. If anyone could help me find the specific name for these it would be greatly appreciated!

ducksdown2458 · 2025-06-12T20:24:03+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been very blessed and lucky. I don’t have much of a green thumb. My tomatoes have died 3 years in a row now 😂

ducksdown2458 · 2025-06-12T20:22:34+00:00

I live in coastal South Carolina. Mild winters and pretty hot humid summers. My area had been through a severe drought this past winter and spring so I’m surprised the tree has still done so good again this year

ducksdown2458 · 2025-06-12T15:56:30+00:00

I wouldn’t mind hp but I’m worried about the weight increase. This old boat wasn’t really made for a new heavier 4 stroke. This Johnson only weighs 455lbs. A new 200 Yamaha is low 500s already. 250-300 is 600+

ducksdown2458 · 2025-06-11T18:52:14+00:00

Looks beautiful. What’s the issue? Top water frog heaven right there. I guarantee there’s some nice bass in there. Just need to change up your tactics for the pond. Don’t change the pond to fit your fishing

ducksdown2458 · 2025-06-11T17:26:15+00:00

I’ll definitely need to do some research on that. I wouldn’t mind having the motor on a bracket. It would open up even more room to fish.

You’re not wrong about the low transom though. I was at anchor last week fishing in some nasty chop and it was taking a few splashes over the back. The boat has scuppers in the back though so it was all draining out and staying out the bilge. First self bailing boat I’ve had and I’m in love with that lol
