  1. FloJets - a word of caution

    Don't write off delevan, they have an interest in our industry.
  2. Are PW'ers needed in Mid West flood area?

    usually isn't any need for professionals to do cleanup. contractors bid that in as part of the rebuild or remodel. assemble yourself a demolition/cleanup/drywall crew and you'll have something.
  3. Poor Christian woman

    just give me a few days and I'll be a 501©3 "The Church of the Brother Who Has Not"
  4. Longevity vs ease of use

    I think it might be one of those trick questions...like "what do you think?"
  5. I'm better off now than 5 years ago. I was young & dumb, only thinking of myself and spending money on worthless stuff. Now I'm much smarter and wiser with the way I spend time and money. As far as the future goes, there's no doubt we're going to be in a depression.
  6. Sureflo Fan Tip Advise

    I think most people use an airless to spray stain.
  7. no. the biggest difference between the 2 is weight. the osborn can strain your wrist/arm/elbow/shoulder/back after awhile. the defelting pads are like scotch pads, light as a feather You will need the special adapter for the defelting pads.
  8. you can get them from brian at the deck guide you'll need the makita variable speed sander/polisher 9". It's lightweight and you can use either hand with it. there's also osborn buffing brushes that also defur but may leave circular groves on some surfaces. they both work great, and make sure to call up brian and ask about technique and he'll fill you in.
  9. you'll be amazed at the speed of shipping. sometimes when you hang up the phone, the delivery man is just pulling up!
  10. water in my readyseal

    Water will settle in oil given enough time 2-3 days/week. I would suck the oil out of the container instead of pouring it because you could remix while pouring. just use your delevan/shurflo do suck it out and you'll be fine.
  11. Seeing that the last year was one of the coldest years on record around the world, the VOC laws should be thrown out. Global warming(along with evolution) is a religion not science. So they should give us the old formulas back and make better respirators so we won't get brain damage.
  12. New Here

    amen is no longer listed in the members area. I think that means he's banned from posting, but he can still look or sign up under a different name.
  13. eacochem I met the owner last weekend and I'll have say that if you call up the company they would be more than willing to help and guide you on a way you could strip your fence.
  14. 2008 Sealer Poll

    I think with wood tux you can give a solid date on when you'll be back to stain. I've let wood dry for 2-3 days and test the moisture and find out that it's at 17% and then I can't stain because it has to be at 15%. wood tux would give you the go ahead to stain even if the wood is a little wet.
  15. permachink, but I heard it wasn't so great on decks.
