Cool appreciate the info Scott!! I'm gonna order some this week cause i can go thru a bunch of brass ones on my chem pump. I'll tell you there is nothing i hate more than a leaky wand when i'm spraying bleach.:lgangry:

WOW they are pretty proud of those stainless connects huh!! Are they worth paying twice the price of brass ones? Are most of you guys using stainless connects on your Shurflo set ups to spray bleach?

Thanks Scott :cool:

Same to you Scott and all the great people here :cool: Happy New Year:beerchug:

Looks ok for a water base stain pretty easy to apply but that fence will be dry in a few months.I just don't see a water base stain being as good for the wood as an oil base stain.

I"m gonna be back home in La. for the holidays eating some SPICY home cooking:lgjump:

We actually supposed to upper 20's here Fri.and actually snow showers...HUH here in Tx...:lgbugeyes It's been mostly in the 70's allowing me to still stain my jobs tho :cool:

I've been using a 1.8 gpm 60 psi shur flo set up for years for all my chems and staining.Oh 12 volt of course which is needed for some jobs where no electricity is available.All viton Valves and Diaphram in all pumps. Until recent i tried a more expensive flo jet to see the difference in the 2.I found out the flo jet being a 2 stage pump compared to the 3 stage shur flo.The FLo jet is not good a pump as the shurflo. Does someone know if the FLo jet has a pressure switch on it? I looked allover and didn't see one.

Is there a sealant oil better than parafinic for Cedar and PT wood? Are some oils better in pennetrating than others? I have always known parrafinic oil being the best for Cedar and PT wood per the Texas Forest Service. I also know here in the south where linseed ,veggie oil is a no no cause of all the humidity.

That veggie oil in that Deckscapes is probally not the best oil base stain for humid Florida.You could have a pretty bad mildew problem.

It was hard to choose one choice in the poll cause the combinations of the oils,mildewcide,pigment are all important. I know what you mean Henry some customers will question everything little thing about your work.Mostly it's the new customers not knowing anything about your company and the product you use. Do you give your customers choices of stains and use only those or use a stain of their choice? I only work with only 1 stain so it helps not having to have product knowledge about every stain on the shelf.Since most stains aren't worth the time to apply them anyway. So when i inform my customers of the test results of the Texas Forest Service on our stain.They are assured the stain is of the highest quality available.

Hey Jim Sorry to hear it's been rough year for your family! Hope it's not to serious and you are feeling better soon!

I agree about mildewcide also and is very important.The product i use actually gets extra mildewcide added in it due to the tropical climate here in Houston.

That looks good Robert is that F-18 a Sodium Hydroxide base stripper? What you gonna stain that house with ?

Ditto what Jim said and having enough pigment in the stain for it to hold up atleast 2 yrs "oil base semi trans"

I pay less than $1 a gallon for 12.5% Sodium hypochlorite in 55 gal drums delivered no deposit.Real cheap here in Houston but we do have tons of chem companies around.

My thoughts exactly it sounds too good to be true for 25 years of life. Sounds too fishy for me to believe.

Never heard of it Reed but some guy was pushing this product on the deckcare site a few months ago.

Houston Texas :cool:

Howard Nope you Roast it ....it's all boneless except for the wings and the legs of the turkey.

Oh i forgot to add more favorite for Turkey Day is the great TURDUCKEN!! It's the best boneless turkey stuffed with a boneless chicken in a boneless duck :D I don't know how popular it is in the north but down here it's getting very big here :cool:

Hope you had a great day!! :cheers: :bday:

A-1 That couldn't be more true getting together with a few friends and some cold brews and watch the turkey fry! You are right having a conventionin N.O would be a good idea! I know that everybody would have a great time.One great food you forgot to mention was the CRAWFISH in La. Everybdy needs to pinch some tails and suck some heads :D I grew up near Breaux Bridge La. and there is no other place like it for food and a great time.
