I gotta add to what kilroy wrote....
3.- I was messing around with some shrink wrap and that kitchen torch sure came in handy. You don't have to haul out the MAPP gas bottle or anything... I haven't needed heat for my bolts lately - but I sure could have used it in times past.

And they say: ... If you walk alone in the bush in Africa and get bitten by a Black Mamba snake .... you try to stay calm, look where the foot path goes under a shady tree ... then lay down, stretched out in the footpath in the shade .... The cool shade will help that your stomach does not blow up too bad, and if you lay straight in the foot path they do not have to break your legs to get you in the coffin.

Along the same line as the shrink wrap idea,we use press and seal from the grocery store for masking ,we first use either green or blue masking tape then wrap up to it with the wrap ,it lays down real tight and doesn't blow up when your paint gun blasts over it.it does leave a little bit of adhesive residue that cleans up with mineral spirits.

use grease on the parts that you dont want paint on. after painting wipe off the grease and the paint.

Was cleaning up after the holidays and thought what a great place to share this with you all. I have always heard a picture is worth a thousand words well I think that applies here.

It winds the interior wires the wrong way, and then the cord won't coil NEATLY! How many cords are like that in the US my friend?....Wrap the cord on your arm!!..Haines Garage
. Twist it proper, like Indian Jones
