Ya'll miss me yet?.....................................Like a mother-in -law when she is far, far away.

Just to let ya'll know I'll be on vacation (staycation) this week. Not really going anywhere can't afford too. One thing is for certain I will not be in the shop or near a computer.

So if anyone PM's me you will now know why I'm not answering.

That really sucks. Hopefully nothing else was damaged. Mine gets really hot. This past week while I was running it so much, I put a fan blowing on it to circulate some air. It sits back in the corner.

Since you put it that way, I guess I don't have a choice.

I need some inspiration myself. After going to the show yesterday it lit a little fire. These body guys showing off their stuff and I have nothing to show. What sucks is it's taking time away from my family. What should I do. Follow my dreams or be a better dad and husband? I know it's a deep subject.

Strodder · 07-19-2009, 09:33 PM

Family always comes first. End of story. But if she knows how important your project is to you, she should understand. At least your at home doing it, and not some where else having a beer with the guys.

ruffrida2005 · 07-19-2009, 10:40 PM

Alan I know what you mean. Me and my wife are always going at it about my truck. Sometimes she wants to work on it, but most of the time she wants to sell it.

198plus · 07-19-2009, 10:49 PM

Family first............Then Ronnie's truck..........Then your truck..........

70 Suburban · 07-19-2009, 11:25 PM

give the kids a respirator. send then to the shop...

jgh64pkup · 07-20-2009, 08:58 AM

thats where i've spent my whole life,in a shop

Strodder · 07-20-2009, 09:56 AM

Yeah, make it a family affair. Get them all involved

In your dreams, huh.

I would love for them to get some hands on. Their attention span needs some help.

I used a medium urethane reducer. I cut it about 10% if that. I don't have the can in front of me right now. I don't know if it's right, but the stuff is hard to spray unless it's cut with something. I'll try to read the label and see what it says tommorow.

70 Suburban · 07-23-2009, 11:54 PM

thanks. it was not a good experience for me today.. it was a huge mess. but it will sand off thats what counts.but had to clean my gun and that was bad.

Hate you had troubles with it. Once you figure it out I think you will like it. What size tip are you using? Did you ever get the PPS cups or was that scott that said he was getting them?

70 Suburban · 07-24-2009, 12:03 AM

I have been using them. Scott wants them. I am using 1.7 sharp.. well I cheated a little . the first coat was hot so i used a little less of the activator on the next coat. that worked great. still seamed to kick, I think it was just a really hot day today and it was to much to get out.
