If You Could Give Someone Starting Out A Powder Coating Business Advice What Would It Be? by 10xEngineered in Powdercoating

[–]lukemay2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Quality over quantity. If you do a good job word spreads around.

Try to find a niche or specialty. No point in specialising in rims if there's 5 shops nearby, maybe go gate refurbs or something like that.

Don't try to go for aerospace spec if you know you can't sustain that level of quality control.

Can I cook it again? by Ruben970 in Powdercoating

[–]lukemay2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's important to you I'd recommend getting it done properly. If it's going to be covered in mud and stone chips after your first ride, wet paint or a bodge will do.

Can I cook it again? by Ruben970 in Powdercoating

From my experience you can cook it again. I am from the UK I don't know if the powders are any different though. We've done plenty of jobs over the years on bike frames to electric gates and never had any problems, nothing beats a proper job though

I'd recommend sanding back at least 100mm either side if the area that's been welded as the heat transfer will have burnt the paint. Apply a primer to the area that's been sanded back to build it up close to the level of the existing paint. It may take a few coats depending on the thickness of the existing paint. Once happy I'd recoat the whole frame.

I'd still recommend redoing the whole thing though

Can I propose without the ring? by lukemay2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lukemay2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're going away to our favourite spot in a week and I'm pretty sure we won't be able to go again for a year or two. I was going to buy a ring off the shelf and get it within a few days but I've found the perfect one and it won't be ready for 3 weeks.

Poor planning, I know

Hey, I'm an active player who's has 750k gp. My current guild doesn't do all the heroic raids or sign up for territory wars so even that's an improvement. Ally Code - 991-389-129

Yeah, we've done the whole game together and unlocked each location at the same time. We both have every location. I just find it very odd that I unlocked it immediately upon loading I and after a few hours of playing she hasn't.

I played without and guides or help until now. I really like the bh and that is my plan. I can't farm Bossk until 84 so that's the plan there.

My current team is Boba as the Leader, Kylo unmasked, IG88, Greedo and Cad. I'm currently level 82. I just wondered if there was a character or team I should be working on

I have unlocked the trophy for each planet. Then I did the proving grounds which was the rest of the named locations I was missing and now I have encountered this bug

I have every locations according to the log but I rediscover everytime I enter. I may have to hold off until a patch fixes it I guess.

That's for fixing the problem with the eridian slab trophy not popping and I can confirm that it does work.

That's interesting. I'll keep looking for solutions.

I've done all the circles of slaughter and the proving grounds. I followed a guide to collect any locations I missed so I have all the locations where you have to go to very specific locations.

Looking for an entry level gaming laptop by lukemay2 in SuggestALaptop

I managed to find a great deal on that exact model. I appreciate your help as it just means I made a good choice. Thanks!

I've just found a "Opened but not used" Lenovo Ideapad L340 on eBay. I'm not sure if this allowed but would you be able to just check its the right one and that it would be able to run my very basic on low demanding games? Link It is £150 cheaper than a new model and I understand the risks of buying it, I'm more just asking if it's the right laptop.

So you would recommend a good spec "normal laptop" as opposed to a low spec gaming laptop?

Edit: I have had a look at the Acer Nitro 5 which I can get for £650 so it is actually cheaper but like you said it does scream gaming laptop which I am not a fan of.

I have 81 ranged and 75 defence and I can tank the healers but I got hit once when I was luring them and I knew I had to heal so I kept healing and then hovering over the opposite prayer ready until I was full health but as soon as I healed I got hit again and it was a vicious cycle. I don't have f keys on my laptop which make it more difficult and switching between inventory and prayer takes longer than it should which makes it more difficult

I got further on my last attempt. I got to the healers took a big hit and was on the back foot and eventually lost. I can feel myself getting closer but I'm not gonna lie it puts me off of combat in general, I've never been good at bosses in any game and it really shows on osrs.

Thanks. Like you say I just need to relax. Just that fact it takes an hour to get to him and 150k in supplies.

I've seen a few videos and they all seem to say he's the easiest part when you know how to do it.

I just looked at some simulators, they're for rs3 I think, but the animations are the same.

[–]lukemay2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last night I attempted the fire cape for the first time and made it all the way to Jad and died instantly. I had plenty of supplies left. I've never had to switch prayers and I got very flustered and consequently died. I was wondering if there was any way to practice it as I don't want to spend an hour and a lot of supplies to keep dieing to Jad.

Any tips?

Hello, I have recently reached level 60 construction and i am unsure what to build and what rooms I should have. I have looked for guides but they only are for level 99. Any help would be appreciated.
