I have done many similar preservation projects have found that scotchbrite pads with comet cleanser lets you save more of the paint and just remove the rust. Soda is great for tight places where it's not possible to reach. Your finished project looks great.
As far is those old stoves you can sometimes find those at garage or yard sales relatively cheap at times ,I picked one up for $15 bks with allitle TLC it was as good as new!!!❤
Pressures range from 150 to 90 PSI. My compressor shuts off at 150 PSI and I will fall to around 90 PSI if shooting continuously. For me, anything under 90 PSI and the soda starts to lose cleaning power.
They are not hard to restore not more than a few moving parts. I think that tank may be gone. you don't want to put gas in it and and pump it up and have it leak all over when the stove is going. Lots of info on Colman stuff online and places to get parts
Baking soda is a very soft abrasive that is really not suitable for surface preparation of rusty steel. A much cleaner surface with all of the rust removed could have been achieved in less time with a harder grit like garnet, crushed glass or coal slag.
Why not answer the questions referring to the size air compressor??? In most it's more important than the gun since the gun would be useless with an underpowered compressor
Hi there, I run a 30 gallon Morgan compressor. PSI ranges from 150 to 90 before the hopper empties. Tank size or recovery rate will be the limiting factor for most people. From my experience if you can stay above 90 PSI, the soda will clean. Stay above 120 PSI and the soda will clean better and start to remove paint.
Nice restoration. It seems odd to me ( I know very little about camp stoves) that the propane supply tube runs directly over the burner. Is that normal practice?
It's not propane it's Coleman liquid fuel, like white gas, I stand corrected, it is propane, the older ones used Coleman fuel !! But it does show the fuel tank in the first part of the video!!
Yeah that seemed a little sketchy to me too... The flame ports are probably on the left and right sides with no flame under the tube directly, but still... Would have thought the tube goes under not over, or in from the side...🤔 Nice stove though.
@@render8 Nope I have two Coleman camp stoves and the generator tube goes straight across the main burner on the right, it strikes me as strange too !!
The Colman lamps and cookers that use/when using liquid fuels require the liquid to be atomized then heated into a vapor to burn efficiently. The fuel lines run near or over the burner to heat that fuel before burning as a flame for cookers or within the mantle for lamps
