tip of the day

Yeah, I know what you mean with that stuff not coming off: I painted engine tin, schroud and other pieces last week. When I walked back in the house my wife asked me what that black crap on my forehead was. I must have wiped my forehead with my gloved hand

-- not smart, but in my defense I was seeing pink elephants at the time. It was a bear to get off my forehead but my handywork looks great and will last a long time.

Herculiner, isn't that the stuff they paint truck beds with? That's a good idea, painting the floors with this stuff - didn't think of that... I guess one could paint the underside of the floors this way too, huh? Thanks for that tip.

I actually picked up another bug yesterday - a 72 regular (am slowly working towards a bug fleet :) It'll need pans/rocker panels but is actually in good shape. Will probably spring for a gallon of POR15 soon because will definitely need it. This time I'll try to keep it off my forehead. ;)

Yeah, when I had a Jeep I used it to coat the inside of the tub with it. Worked great. I still have some left over that I'm gonna use on the floor of the rail. Here's some pics of the Herculiner on the Jeep:

heh heh... I bought one of those 6-pack of cans of POR-15 from aircooled.net. Something about the "6-pack" in the description convinced me... :-) When I got it, I thought the cans were pretty small and was worried that I wouldn't have enough, but I only used 2 of the cans today to completely do the top and bottom of the entire floor of the rail, and did at least a partial second coat on the top. If I used all of the 6-pack kit then I'd easily have enough to do 3 coats top and bottom. I think I'm just gonna keep the extra 4 cans I have for future projects, like I did with the extra Herculiner I had left over. Funny about the POR-15 on your forehead. I figure it's gonna take 3-4 days for me to get all of this stuff off of me.

Head over to Ace Hardware and buy a pint of acetone. It will take most of the POR off.

What about the diziness? :-)

My wife wanted our daughter to take a quick picture of us and we forgot about the POR-15 stuff... Oops... hahaha!

Awwwww, so cute! Makes me wanna come over and give a big hug.

The wifey is nice too.

It does wear off......I've used it on exhaust pipes with good results too.

Shag are the 6 packs still in plastic with screw on covers or did por-15 get smart and go with metal. Several years ago I had 4 of the six set up over the winter in a dry basement that had never been opened. I never had a problem with the metal conainers even when resealed as long as I used a plastic wrap for sealer.

They are small metal cans now with regular lids like a typical can of paint.

A generous dose of 3.2 beer repeated as desired will flush you out good.

What is 3.2 beer? (I feel like I'm walking into a trap...)

It is what strong beer is not.

Oh. Well, you must be right. I just had about 5-6 Amstel Light beers and 1/2 a Budweiser and I'm not dizzy anymore. :-)

Just make sure if you have to go to the bathroom that the hand you grab Mr. Happy with is clean. If not, your wife or the guys at the gym might start calling you Pinto.

Psycho the sequel ??

*************** To retain the dizzyness just sniff some laquer thinner. ;^P You fellas *do* know that the por 15 is for *rusty* metal, don't you? It dosen't stick very well (long term) to clean steel... ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"

Easy on the Giggle Cream!

Errr... You must not have looked at the pictures. :-)
