Possibly.... http://www.wscoatingsinc.com/?gclid=CK_i89yHiacCFcpU2godLW_Hdg .....That came up under the tag line of your post. or glass blasting. Wouldn't ice blasting eventually turn to wet media? Possibly soda, or cobb blasting. Welcome to TGS. While you are here please go to your settings tab and complete your signature line. House Rules. That way we know who we are talking to.

mmmmmmmm ice cream. I'm very creative Mr. Stone. heh heh!

That's the funniest "yolk" I have heard all week David. You "crack" me up.

Sounds like it Jim. I can't believe you have gone through this 10 times man. I can at least say that I know what you went through though. It's just driving me crazy not working though. So now that I am half way through this fence project, I have no choice but to finish it this week regardless of directives, because I can't leave this customer hanging. I hope it'll be ok since I only have the spraying left. I mean I won't have to hook up the trailer and pull a buttload of hose and reel it up. I will take it as easy as possible, but I have to get this finished for the customer. I also have a deck resto scheduled as well this week. I don't know how I am going to dance my way out of this one. Can't drive or work on the pain meds, and there's no way I am going to sub this project out. I want this one bad. 10 surgeries, man Jim, you must be 90% bionic by now. Much much much respect and hats off to you. You are my new hero, because I know the pain man, and it ain't no fun at all.

Very misleading and decpetive title Ron, but, glad you will be up and running again. That'll be the day when Hel l freezes over that you actually "close" ***. Glad you are getting the bugs worked out. ciao

A 6 yr. old. Honda 20 in decent to very good condition could pull 350.00-500.00 to the right person.

Flowers ballons dinner and hopefully the horizontal bop.

You bet man, as long as it is in my lap and not hanging on the shoulder. No more Van Halen mid air splits for this old timer. Bummer. Time will tell, but the last thing I need is a hip replacement. lol.

He should be looking you up real soon Jim, just got off the phone with him.

ok, here's the truth. Not spoiled just old and tired lol.

... in the D.I.Y. market. www.thebreezebrush.com I have only a few more restos to complete before shoulder surgery. I'll be marketing this and recovering from a biceps / R. Cuff surgery over the Winter. Legal stuff is taken care of and on paper. I can't clean or restore directly after the surgery. I can't play my guitar, I can't crash, err, fly my rc planes. But, I am pretty sure I can put these together and ship them. Wish me luck.

You mean the training seminar for contractors with 2 or less years experience. Nope. Sure didn't. I don't qualify.

Still trying to get caught up on ALOT of stuff since this silly surgery Paul. I never saw your response until now and I appreciate the well wishes. It means the world to me.

Wow, the vicodin must have really kicked in when I wrote this thread. Why don't I remember. lol Carry on.

I gotta be honest Tracy, RS, is a nightmare to find here anymore. Kwall phased it out and I got as much last year as I could afford to keep on hand. I have finally run out and have to use the BGA. The nearest location ( Murphy Bros.) for me to pick it up is about 50 or so miles away, one way. I have to justify and pass on those cost' to the customer, even if I had it shipped in. The BGA vendor (Shane of Woodsavers of TX.) treats me like royalty which I really appreciate. Their location is half the distance. I get the same results for 20.00 less per 5er. What can I say, RS has always been my top choice, but they keep raising the rates and make it harder to find. Honestly IMO,if prepped and applied properly, neither one outperforms the other, but, price, distance, and time, all have a to be factored into my rates. I have a project in Castle Hills (DFW) that I will use RS on after I am recovered and running again. It will take about 30gal. I will purchase it from them direct, because RS dist. are right next door to where the project is. (Then again so is TWP). All within just a couple of miles. It is beyond me why they pulled RS off the shelf at Kwall. Because Kwall is everywhere around here. Availability never used to be a concern. Just slip in and slip out and get paid. Now it's a major headache. When it's time to go, it's time to go, I can't be driving around town all day trying to hunt this stuff down. BGA & Shane have never failed me once. I hope you understand it is nothing personal. It's not like the old days when I lived in ATL. You guys have NEVER failed me in ATL. But that's along way from home for me now. Plus it makes no rhyme or reason for me to keep a pallet of the stuff onhand , due to the varying request of colors. Sorry brother, I do what I have to do to makes ends meet. Our friendship is more important than any stinking stain anyways, don't you know that? That's my take.......

Not anymore, but I have owned two single place Revolution mini 500's with 90hp rotex enigines. Sweet birds if built and balanced properly. Deathtrap if built incorrectly. Sold one to a farmer here in Texas and the other I sold to a german refurb group who outfitted it with gunnery and performance enhancement package. It increased the hp by 25hp with turbine, and it now has a flight speed of close to 180 mph even with the added weight of gunnery. In turn, they sold it for triple the profit to a russian protection agency. My eyes are fixed on the Raven ultralite now. Hopefully before my body breaks apart any further, and my sight fails me i'll have it up in the air before my first social security check arrives. lol.

Thanks a million Dave. The surgery was really something I had know idea would be this painful or lengthly to recover from. Who gets cabin fever in Texas, right? Well I have finally experienced it. It stinks. I cannot wait to get back into the game. Good days & bad days during this healing process. Not really sure that I would make the best millionare. I would probably blow it on an airplane or another helicopter or a warehouse full of Gibson's and Fender guitars lol. Thankfully I have a GREAT financial advisor when that day comes. However I would like to add something to the industry that wasn't there before, for others at an affordable price (and of course show a little profit on the return). Always happy to help my forum friends with a modest reduction in cost vs. the retail to the public. These forums ( in most cases) are where the real fortune ( of info) are. Thanks for the well wishes.

+100...

Thx for the positive comment Doug. Bakers Special Blend is available at texaswoodproducts.com along with their other colors as well. The guru of wood himself ( a stranger to this board lately) Shane B. from Texas, came up with the blend a while back and TWP sells the blend. It's a great stain.

Thx for the kind words David. The avatar is a pic of a surgery I am about 7 weeks into recovery from a detacthed biceps muscle and crunched ac/rotator cuff and bone shaving. Never again, I think a chem burn would have felt alot better than this injury. I am the designer of The Breeze™ Brush. It is intended for the DIY sector, however, could be very useful for contractors as well. Those that don't do enough wood resto to justify the cost' of an HVLP find this application system very useful. It is not as fast as an HVLP system, but, much much quicker than a roller or brush. It is still very much in the R&D stage. As well as a concrete sealing brush system. It's a fun project, and I love that I am helping others with their wood resto's. I haven't "officially" launched the product to the public yet other than the website. However I am doing order fulfillment now, and am getting very positive feedback from those that use it.

Battle scars, I love them.

lmao .........

Right on Beth. Happy ending for a change.
