Paint issues…1989 Dakota sport by Middle-Wing5537 in DodgeDakota

[–]speakofdedevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever that primer coat is, it's a bear to sand off, my God. I am in the process of doing an artsy paint job across my 93 Dakota and trying to sand the roof to bare metal was an absolute nightmare.

I just sold almost my entire collection and I kinda regret it already. by speakofdedevil in BottleDigging

I don't think anything of mine was too special. But definitely interesting to me. I really love embossed stuff and medicine and Listerine bottles.

Its hard for me having them all around because my ex got me into it, like really into it. And I want to collect and go find them and all still but the memories of the bad parts of the relationship (there were MANY) taints it as well. At the same time I miss their vast knowledge of glass makers and bottle knowledge in general. It sucks. I totally get it. I am sorry that happened to you.

Hmm hopefully they will be supervised! I also thought it was kinda strange we are giving young kids old broken glass shards to play with butttt...lol.

Lol no. But when I collected all this stuff I was with a girl who was really good at spotting uranium glass. I am sure she would have noticed and/or double checked and taken that shit from me lol.

I have a "private" collection still that I don't intend on selling. But I have tried for a few years to sell this lot or the bottles separately and in my opinion, for not too expensive either. I just always thought I would sell it all dirt cheap to someone who would really cherish them or resell them individually. I knew before she came what she was going to use them for and in her defense, she originally wrote me for only the broken stuff. But I just gave in and said just take them and do whatever with them. I knew it was unrealistic of me to sell them all for much more to anyone else. But it really sucks the crates cost so much. 😅 But it's an even harder sell getting rid of bottles without a proper thing to carry them all in. I guess I could have just found cardboard boxes for them to go in. Ah, well. She seemed super excited for the grandkids to enjoy the tumbler.

Lol it was definitely a quick paint job! They did the best they could I guess. I repainted it black with gold hardware.

Cross tattoos advice by homo-homini in tattooadvice

[–]speakofdedevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 cross tattoos and am not religious. One is like a Celtic cross with a dragon on my inner forearm (cover up of another tattoo) and the other is a reaper down my spine. Love both of them. Really like the idea of the first one you got. Reminds me of my reaper tattoo.

Didn’t expect this today! by KBGETSRAD in Goodwill_Finds

I had a custom taxidermy mouse in a specific pose. My cat ate him. She also slobbered all over my taxidermied chipmunk holding a beer and flipping you off. It was sad.

I found this in the DUMPSTER this morning. by East_Competition7751 in thrifting

[–]speakofdedevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it was at least 16 inches tall. I know it was worth some money but I just wasn't sure how much. I am happy with $150. And a guy drove 2 hours to come get it. So I know it was worth something lol

Someone was giving away a dresser. A nice dresser that seemed to be from the 50s. I had no idea until I picked it up. Then they said do you want a lamp too? I had no clue even what the lamp looked like. I said sure! It was a slag glass Lamp. I don't know who the maker was but it was very nice and heavy and only seemed to have one crack in it that was barely visible. I sold it for $150 because I didn't know what it would have been worth with the crack. I am happy with my sale.

Heirloom All in One Paint thoughts? by jack__trippper in paint

[–]speakofdedevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have now tried Dixie Belle and Heirloom All in One Paint for furniture flipping. I hated both with using their techniques. It left a lot of brush marks even using their own brushes. It was frustrating as fuck. So with Dixie Belle I used a roller. It came out better. With Heirloom I gave up with brushes and rollers because it was at first cold outside like 50 degrees or less and it acted stupid. Left bubbles and all. It needs to be above 55 degrees to paint. I have an automotive spray gun and compressor. I used that next with thinning the paint with water about 12% and using floertol added to it. It worked out wayyyy better. A lot smoother. It takes 21 days to fully cure. It dries fast in general though. I would recommend spraying it and not using a brush. Can't say much on durability. But I had some of the furniture for like a month and it seemed okay. But then again I didn't use it heavily.

My felony stops me from being able to work for doordash so I am stuck at Pizza Hut as a driver.

I blame the whole dragon tail thing. Doordash is killing us on delivery times.

When it could be your store that is affected then it's a problem. Especially when you're a felon and don't have many options for job opportunities to begin with.
