  1. I agree with Ken. I bought the Wagner HVLP that has the turbine and gun built into one piece. For one it's heavier and it tires your arm out doing those rails. And like Ken said the overspray gets sucked right into the turbine and gums it up. Mine eventually just quit working, and I cleaned it everytime I used it. I fixed it one time but then it didn't last long and burnt up. I went ahead and bought the Wagner HVLP with the hose, it's a lot more relief on your arms. The only thing I liked better about the other one is the fact that it doesn't blow out air until you pull the trigger, which the one with the hose continues blowing air. After getting used to it, everything is ok now. Ken is the one you sell very similar to the one you buy at Lowe's? Mine is the Wagner HVLP Fine Mist I believe. I use my Flo-Jet set up which is similar to a deckster for floors most people call those HVLP's but there not.
  2. Acetone or Laquer Thinner will take it right off with one swipe, and also anywere on your truck. You will need to wash and wax your truck after you do it though. Acetone and Thinner are a favorite of car detailers
  3. Haggard

    There is a dark side to the LDS church, you may not believe it if I told you. That's why I will send you to a website that will explain it from an ex-Mormon view point. This is someone that was caught up in that cult for many years before coming to Christ and being born-again. Here is a link www.ericbarger.com there you will find several stories about Mormon's and others under the heading cults. Read for yourself you will be amazed to find out how it really isn't the nice family do good to your neighbor type of thing like it is perceived to be.
  4. 15 Gallon Container

    Check your car washes and also some people in your community. I know here there's a guy that sales the 55 gallon drums in plastic and metal for $5 each, and also has the 30's and 15's.
  5. PRO-FORCE degreaser

    Try the F-13 at 20:1 it works great for 95% of all gutters at that ratio, I rarely have to mix it stronger, that's about 7oz.'s per gallon. The F-18 works great also, very easy to mix up in cold water. 2 to 3 oz's a gallon will clean the nastiest of decks, while 6 oz.'s to gallon will strip most sealers, with very little fuzzies of the wood, all with mostly 500 psi. I did a log home recently stripped Sikkens 1 & 23 with 8 oz.'s to gallon.
  6. Faith vs. Fact (Creation vs. Evolution)

    Mike, I couldn't have said what you typed and different, that's truly how I feel. You are right on with the missionaries and 3rd world country's and faith in doctors instead of God. Sounds like we have some Pentecostal's on this board, lol. I believe in the Power of God. We never said anything about Benny Hinn, in fact I don't watch any TV preachers. I know God uses them, but there's things that don't line up for me. God uses Benny Hinn tremendously, I've been to one of his miracle crusades, and he's prayed over me. The presence of the Lord is so strong at times in those crusades that you can barely stand. When he prayed over the group of us(and didn't touch us either) the power of God hit us like an electric fence. But you see the Presence of the Lord in those services and healings has nothing to do with Benny Hinn. In fact he very rarely ever prays for anyone to be healed, they come on the platform already healed. Now I know some may not be healed, while others could lose there healing by doubting later. But some are truly healed. The people that I was referring to you've never heard of before, there not known by the secular world. Fox and CNN did find out about the one place in Mexico, in the jungles down there about a lot of miracles, and resurrections. They wanted to go down there but there was no way they wanted the work of God tainted by newsreporters, and false accusations and that mess. Because it doesn't matter if Jesus Christ himself walked the streets and healed the sick and raised the dead today people still wouldn't believe, so what makes you think people will believe when they see it on the news about this going on. The world doesn't know anything about the Spirit. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever!!
  7. Faith vs. Fact (Creation vs. Evolution)

    When God the Son, Jesus was on Earth what did he read? What we know as the old Testament, if there was a flaw with how it was written about creation, don't you think that He being the Creator would have clarified the matter. If the Old Testament being written by men was so error filled wouldn't Jesus Christ God Himself have said so and fixed the problem, and not quoted it Himself. If you wanna know if this faith in Christ is real, I can tell you of many changed lives, but I can also tell you of many supernatural miracles, so many that it would take up pages on this website. There are 52 countries in the world where someone has been raised from the dead by the Power of Christ. And I'm not talking dead for 15 mins and the doctors bringing them back. I'm talking for hours and days and after laying hands on them they come alive. I know of a place right now, were there's been over 300 raised from the dead, some that had been dead for 3 days. And also at this place there had been almost every miracle happen there, that was recorded in the New Testament. My brother-in law has actually talked to people that have been raised from the dead. Miracles that are happening AIDS cured by the prayer of faith, cancer instantly gone, legs and arms growing out where there was once a stub, the blind see, deaf hear, people speaking in tongues and someone come in from another country that can speak and understand the language of the person speaking in a tongue and that person that's praying is ministering to the person that comes into the service, that came in unbelieving but now they get right with God. Demons cast out, people delivered from evil spirits in the name of Jesus, I'm talking being able to see the demons and they speak to you. There's nothing like being layed out in the Holy Spirit on the ground and unable to move while His Presence just bathes you and electrify's you, His Power is at times like electricity flowing through, I've been at services before and the Power hit me and it feel like I grabbed an electric fence and then the heat that flows like anointing oil over your body. And when I say God that is Jesus Christ, there is only one God. The problem with some people is they read so much of the worldly literature and philosophies that plant seeds of unbelief and psychology(which by the way is a religion itself) in them, then they try to read the Bible through the worlds eyes and that messes there whole theology up. You have to guard your heart from those things if you're gonna follow Christ. You need to the Holy Spirit to reveal his Word to you. Get alone with God in a room and pray for His Spirit to come in the room and change your heart and life surrender it all to Him, tell Him to fill you with the Holy Spirit, you'll never be the same, and after you're Baptized in the Spirit that Bible will come alive like it never has before, you will then start to understand it.
  8. Gutter zap

    The F-13 from Bob I dilute 20:1 and it takes off the streaks everytime and it's only about 10 and some change per gallon. The Gutter Zap cost the same or a little more and it don't work good even at 2:1. The F-13 in a 5 gallon bucket makes a little over 100 gallons of ready to use gutter cleaner, no other one on the market can beat it, compare that with Gutter Zap it makes what 15 gallons of ready to use, and really don't do that a good of a job.
  9. I use Wood Tux, there's nothing like the beauty of it. I know there are other stains that are "goof proof" and you can apply them quicker, but they just don't give the look of Wood Tux, nor do they last as long. The thing about Wood Tux is it's actually cheaper to use in the long run, because of the coverage rate. If you're in business to beautify wood then there's no other choice. I am confident that when I apply Wood Tux the wood will be beautiful and will last and the customer will be pleased.
  10. 3" Spider

    Yeah I was referring to spraying the WD-40 in a carpenter bee hole to kill them, not on the surface
  11. 3" Spider

    WD-40 will kill the carpenter bees instantly everytime, any oil based spray keeps them from breathing somehow
  12. Here is a pic of a deck I recently did with WTW, it was my first time using it. It's definitely the most beautiful stain I've ever seen. I had previously used Ready Seal and Sherwin-Williams Deckscapes, there is really no comparison, it makes those stains look like Thompsons or CWF, there's that much difference. This deck had Thompson's that was still repelling water, so I stripped and brightened. The homeowner is gonna paint the rails again later on, so it will look better then. The pics don't do the beautiful look of the wood justice. I did a medium coat, and then went back with a light coat to give it more of a gloss look.
  13. What you all are saying makes sense. I've thought about that before, and never have applied wet on dry because I knew if the sealer was supposed to repel water, it would repel more stain also and just build up a film. The process I used on that deck was wet on wet, and also I had sanded and rinsed the deck so it was damp when I put the first coat on. I applied a second light coat to give it a richer look very soon after the first coat.
  14. actually the last light coat, wasn't that much of a gloss, it's not like I made it form a film similar to Sikkens. It just makes it look better.
  15. Tips For Downstreaming

    Call Bob at PressureTek he has a shooter tip that will work just fine for what you need, you can also get a 0 degree in something smaller than a 40 to get even higher cause of more PSI, but the draw rate probably won't be as high as with a 40
  16. I do the same when I wash a house, don't do the gutters unless there are noticeable black streaks, I find there worse on newer gutters. Most older ones are faded anyway with mildew on them, the bleach and pressure takes care of that. It seems that most customers are satisfied with just doing it like that. I've had the same problem with the fascia on some houses, the paint comes off very easy on those areas. I keep a can of white spray paint with me in case I do accidentally take the paint off some were, the color I have usually matches up just fine. I try to keep it off the fascia after learning the hard way with paint coming off. What do you all do about brushing gutters that are high off the ground? I hate having to get out the ladder, I know I've cleaned gutters without a brush before, and they came clean, but after inspecting closely I could still see streaks in them. There's just no way of getting them totally clean without a brush to break the surface.
  17. I've got a downstreamer from Bob that I measured for my machine, it does 10-1. I use gutter cleaner with a pump up when needed, you don't hardly use any cleaner and a lot less mess, and you don't have to worry about getting it on something that you don't want. You don't have to buy any of the specialty gutter shock or gutter zap, it's as simple as getting some purple power and mixing it 1:1 or 1:2 and spraying it on, same thing. No shipping costs easy as stopping by Wal-Mart or an auto parts store.
  18. All I can say is cancel the X-jets for housewashing, get a downstreamer that does 10:1 and a shooter tip from Bob, mix up a bucket of 15% bleach and a few squirts of Joy detergent and you won't have to waste any money buying house washes again, and you will never pick up the X-Jet again. I find the X-Jet isn't really good for anything, I never use mine. I used it one time on a housewash and it gets real old carrying the bucket around with you, it's crazy to do that when you can get the same results with a lot less hassle.
