I've lived in the lowcountry of South Carolina all of my life and If you're like me you're always searching for ways to do things or figuring out the best methods, products, and tricks.
This channel is dedicated to showing the audience how to videos as well as reviews / comparisons for multiple products, techniques, and applications. Let's try some stuff together and see what we can figure out!!!
I appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to see what we're doing on the channel.
Good video mate, thank you. Good to know that cheaper primers shrink more, but for home diy guys like me, leaving it a week or two before basecoat is worth the wait.Keep these experiments coming, a great source of knowledge for newbies like me.
Great test mate. Well done, will follow with interest. Upol is very popular here in the UK but no tests like this that show the results six or twelve months later. Keep em coming, and I love your accent by the way.
Those are honestly just some scrape wire with the male end of a spade connection going into the dewalt battery. I think he has one small aligator clip on the other end for one wire and the other is just hand twisted wire. There are more appropriate ways to do this but in a pinch, it works! I can't remember what guage wire it was, just some scrape peices we found somewhere. 14, 16..i'm not sure
you have performed a fair assessment and I think your review is your experience and your call. just wondering if it would behave better after a few weeks of the undercoat having fully cured. fresh paint in my experience separates quite easily from the prepped metal.
that makes sense...I am keeping all of these test panels and can always beat them up after some time passes. I will probably make a mention of this in my next video. Thank you for commenting, I do like the idea of giving them some time to cure out further.
flow coat will leave a ring over time if you break threw the "flow coat " layers... there is a mechanical bond vrs a chemical bond... we stack clear 6 to 8 coats... but start cutting with 600... i dont car what anyone says... you can not cut urethane wave out with 1000 grit paper... you will have a high gloss ripple paint job if you cut with 1000.... arcylic blocks ...start at 600... finish grit is another argument.... cut compound leaves more coarse scratch then 3000 or 5000 .. so no need to sand that fine....
Yeah this is going to take some time. Sept I'll be making a 1 year update video. As long as these panels dont get destroyed outside from something stupid (IE amazon driver / traffic / weather) i'm hoping to have an answer on UV impacts, might take 2-3 years to get it though...LOL
took about a week to get the supplements, so far I've only been on them for 1 week and maybe a couple days. was thinking about doing a 3 week update to make sure everything has had a chance to work. I can tell a few differences, but hard to say for sure (I think it's too early in the routine). Thanks for checking in though I will be posting about my journey!
@@BBQMIKEY absolutely, I'll be giving my honest thoughts and experiences on the follow up video as well as potentially the blood test they offer...might be giving that a try if I can scrape up some coin. Got a call scheduled for this afternoon for the blood work.
@@RedHammerBodyShop I ordered some from amazon earlier. It had some good reviews too. Always looking to branch out and try new things!! Thanks for the recommendation.
After you have been painting cars long enough you will understand when and where to flow, when and where to stack. Neither one is right all the time. I personally flow coat the next day, never untape, and have never had an issue, but 75% of what I flow coat is a disassembled part, so washed off clear isn't in the cracks.
Id rather cut and buff that way you have more control of the look, you are looking for. It takes patience for sure but nothing beats knocking all the clear flat and polishing out
I think the right next step should be to do the related blood tests panel and don't jump directly into the supplement spiral. You should to check for the vit B spectrum, vit D, magnesium, zinc, folate, cpk and homocisteine (for inflammation process) levels and see if there is some correlation with the gene mutations that affect a specific methylation cycle. If you find deficencies or alterations then you have at least now a correlation with the alleged mutation and then can try to rebalance with supplements and proper diet...otherwise I'm not sure how much could be helpful...for example is not uncommon to have people with gene variants of 5-MTHFR that can process folic acid without any issue. Well in any case hope you find some benefit in a way or another
@@lowcountrylowdown9000 I still just to be safe I go ahead and flow coat because I have the time to do it I feel safer doing 2 coats let it set 800 then 2 more coats
I cleaned my lights, wet sanded with 800, then 1500 with some diluted dawn. After rinsing with water, then wiping them down with alcohol. 15 min later I sprayed them with 2 coats 2k clear and they fogged up and turned white for 30 minutes and dried crystal clear. I thought it was old 2k clear.
You started with 1000 grit and itvwas ready to buff. You went to 800 to break through and went to 320 to actually get through. I think you are safe to flowcoat.
5 coats of any clear especially some of these high solid clear. The painter really better be paying attention. Very easily turn into a big prob. And I mean wet coats not well dust first one then little more 2and and so on lol
I wonder if it would be better to use a intercoat for the first couple coats of the flow coat. Would help speed up process for sure. Just sayin. Great video
It's been sitting behind my shot, I used the fender for another video; however, I still think the test areas are fine, so I will go check and see. I doubt the sun did anything in that short of a time period.
It's been awhile since I did this but I believe I had it in N. Take a look at 4:21 on the video. The metal tube peice slides off the selector rod, so just make sure the plate and selector peice go back on the same way you took it off and you should be fine.
Thank you, I read about this trick online but wanted to try it for myself. It seemed to work for me. My Alkalinity was around 170-180, but my PH was 7.1 - 7.2...so I had to raise my PH without raising my Alkalinity. Now my PH is 7.6 and my alkalinity is 140ish.
