SOHC Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 This flux recommends mixing with water and some detergent, should I mix the whole lot up? Quote
UTERUS Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 I hate it when people mix flux with water, it's so much easier to use when in powder form. Heat welding rod, dip into flux, bit of heat onto the join and smear flux on there too. Rod back into the powder, then do weld. 7 Quote
Nominal Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Found some Lister deez barries on a UK canal boat forum. Fuel rack isn't moving in one of the pumps. Will have to spend some money I think. Quote

kws Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 How in the holy bastard of a thing do i remove this paint pen? Its been on there ages id say. Have tried brake cleaner (which took a lot of it off, but then sorta stopped working), turps, iso alcohol, orange based cleaner, fibreglass brush, contact cleaner, window cleaner. Nothing seems to touch whats left of it, and i cannot risk damage to the plastic. Quote
tortron Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 I'd try claybar that picks paint overspray off stuff. Or hit it with a toothpick and some compound Quote

The detergent is so the left over flux can be mixed with water again. If you just use water it sets hard and doesn't dissolve. Just mix what you will use or heat and dip 2 Quote

I had some gunked up carbs that petrol, acetone and other nasty ass solvents wouldn't clean, than later vinegar seemed to work. Weird, but... Quote

Failing that try some cutting (for paint) compound with the toothbrush if it doesn't get it off it'll be really clean. Quote

kws Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 I've found some moderately thin bog on the front guard, and Im in the process of removing it so I can panel bash the dents out. I've been using one of those poly strip disks on the grinder, which is AMAZING, but holy shit its messy. Anyone got any ideas on removing the bog without ended up with a ton of dust everywhere? I pried some bits off with a screwdriver originally, but they were only loose because of rust behind them, the rest seems to be quite well stuck on. Im happy to use the strip disk on to tidy it up once the bulk is removed by other means. Quote
tortron Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 The only way I have found that's better is to get someone else to do it. Strip disc it is 3 Quote

tortron Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Yeah I tried lots of stuff on my ute tray, making a lot of noise and dust was the only effective way Quote
