About the ouch, it's good, B. ;) She's still with the original owner at present and I've made it clear that powder coating, at my expense, is the only way to go next-time around. ;) Well... That sorta goes on all accounts where that truck is concerned... The only thing that has stood the test of time is the stainless exhaust and Borla mufflers that I just one day up and drove 40 miles to have put on at my expense! Dad is a little more of a believer in his little man now that I'm 34 (this week!!) and mildly accomplished (engineering school, MANY intensive mechanical projects, etc). If only I had known that it was only going to take $100k of projects and education to get the old man to trust me I would have started when I was 10!!! :) |
Got my $3 Walmart candle tonight! I think Sunday there might be enough dry weather to run my test! :)

How did the melt down go, & were your results expected, if not, when ready for repaint enjoy removing all wax build up before prime & paint!:American Flag 1::bigthink:
|
the wax will melt after the sun heats up the deck if it melts at that low of a temp, prime it, paint it, and after a week of letting paint fully cure spray with non stick cooking spray, we use it on or full size equipment and last about a full season. but you can just spray with garden hose and reaplie as needed. and cheap if you get the wally brand

Didn't we tell him that already ! Lol:bigthink:
|
Nay sayers and fun haters, all of ya! BAH!! :)
I didn't get around to trying it yet and probably won't this weekend either. --- Honestly, I'm concerned that the temp in my shed will exceed the melting temperature of the wax. Oh well.. I'm still gonna try it out. As far as stripping it off later, I have a strange feeling that my MAP gas torch will make quick work of that job. Or a black tarp over the top and a week in the August Indiana sun. |
I had mine powder coated. it is slick but still holds onto a lot of grass.

I broke my vow to not clean a deck, I had to replace the belt.
Before; http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9fd6b158.jpg After; http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...ps836e7a11.jpg I am good to go for another 25 years!! :bigthink: Does that thing have enough idlers and rollers, or what!!?? :bigeyes: It don't look bad, for a 24 year old deck. :biggrin2: |
