    PAINT THREAD

    Mnp oil or nmp oil. Me thinks There should be a few letters left in the DG.
  3. Another good one to watch. If you don't have a polygon gun you can brush the gel coat on.
  4. This is a good video for looking at what you are trying to make for the boat hull. The lip on the edge is what brick is talking about producing with the core flute. And yes he has 8 coats of wax. Glass factory I once worked in used 6 minimum. Will see if I vand find another to help with the building of the mold he has.
  5. Ohhh to be a fly on the wall of that conversarion Fuel : Hello. I'm looking for a side marker for my rx7. Seller : No sorry I don't have one Fuel: bugger. Seller: but u have a corvette going cheap. Fuel: hmmmm. Yes please. Nice car. Any pictures of dodge interior.
  6. What did you get for it. I have 2 to sell I the very near future.
  7. What's the price like. Steelcuts is like 40 per meter.
  8. I've been looking at this a bit recently. Lots of youtubing etc. It's a future dream. But I will look with eager eyes. Steelcuts.co.nz have chromoly thin wall tubing. Websites not working ATM. But might be worth a look.
  9. For light. My blaster has a window in the roof. It then has a led flood light on that. Fully lights my 900x900 cab no problem. But I don't have the dust issue.
  10. 1st thing I think of is comfort. Do you want to be leaning over looking down while blasting for an hour? 2nd thing would be moving things around to get the blast angle. Shallow cabinets would become annoying quickly with larger items.
  11. Also nozzle size is important to match to the cfm of your compressor The link below has a link to a pdf for this. https://sandblaster-parts.com/blogs/product-information/27731139-sandblasting-nozzle-cfm-chart-to-size-your-pressure-nozzle
  12. One thing to look at is the gun. They are normally junk. Have a look at BNP guns. Machinary house has a bnp copy. https://www.machineryhouse.co.nz/3SC0300 Original https://clemcoindustries.com/products/blast-cabinets/blast-cabinet-accessories/bnp-suction-blast-guns/
  13. He goes through his whole set up. Good watch to get an idea of the processes. This is the recipe I'm going to use.
  14. I'm also looking at a alkaline rather than a acid based solution also.
  15. Hello gents. I'm currently setting up a small electro plating thing as well. There are many YT videos where they use either the caswell kit or vinegar home brew. So far I have got both zinc and nickle anodes off aliexpress and a small variable power supply. There are a couple of videos that i have been basing my brew from. There is a guy who rebuilds carbs. He talks about a recipie for a pasiviate in one video. Needs a couple of different acids. I think sulfuric for yellow and nitric for black/silver. I have found some of what I need at bunnings. The hydrochloric acid and a drain cleaner. There is a pool chemical that is used in the plating brew as a brightener. I have found a nz supplier but it's in a different format to what's in the videos so would need a little bit of playing to get mix correct. The other stuff zinc oxide? Can be purchased from soap making supplies. The hardest thing was the acid. It can be found easy but I don't have the funds to get it at the moment. I'll be back to post the video's soon.
  16. Give bare steel a call also. He primarily blasts cars and is an American car fan.
  17. Your an inspiration to all the gn owners on oldschool!
  18. Sorry my use of terms may have been off. Just passing on information I recently accuired I'm August I had several conversations with a repair certifier. He was very specific that all structural repairs need to be performed by a qualified welder and proof had to be provided of the qualifications and of them performing the work. A d he pretty much told me that most of my car was structural work. I asked if I could do it my self if I provided evedence of being a competant welder and was in no way possible. I questions if this was a recent thing as I thought that I was able to do it my self. He said things changed acouple of years ago. He even said he could point me in the direction of courses that would provide the minimum stranded required. I did not ask any more questions after this as to the exact details of the qualifications needed. I started doing maths in my head and quickly worked out my she'll was not going to worth fixing for a road car. There must be unit standards or something simple that must be held
  19. Yeah what Chris said. Info numbers or tags just swap it prior to inspection
  20. That's part of the repair cert. All structural repairs must be performed by a ticketed welder. But yeah get it in, send it to compliance, get repair certifier, complete repair works. And then back to vtnz with repair paper work. Don't do any repair work other than mechanical , ie replacement of worn parts till repair cert processes has started. They want to co trol the processes from start to finish.
  21. Sweet. I have a Orion coal range that I want to derust. I can't be arsed blasting it. Was planning on using a lap top charger.
  22. Looking good. What power supply are you running on the bath?
