Rust-Oleum camouflage spray paint poor man’s DuraCoat

Posted by admin on July 14th, 2010 and filed under paint rusty metal | 3 Comments »

first off, i never have tried DuraCoat, and this is not a comparison review.

here’s my review of the rust-oleum deep forest spray paint, or as i call it “the poor man’s duracoat” i didn’t prime or seal any of the knives, i just wanted to test try it on some cheaper knives that don’t get much use. i really like the way the paint turned out, i plan on getting more colors and painting some old dirty tools that i have in back like a machete and shovel.

here’s some info from the rust-oleum website.
OVERVIEW:
Rust-Oleum Specialty Camouflage Spray provides a non-reflective, ultra-flat finish for maximum hiding. Applies to metal, wood, plaster or masonry. Offers long-lasting protection when applied on top of primer.
i really like this stuff and i plan on purchasing the khaki color if i can find it at the local home depot.. this deep forest can was all they had left, i purchased the last one.

New York’s High Line

Posted by admin on July 14th, 2010 and filed under painting rusty steel | No Comments »

The High Line in New York City opened last summer to critical and public acclaim. One of the most unusual and stunning new public parks in recent decades, this abandoned elevated railway running through lower Manhattan has been transformed into a public pedestrian greenway. Designed by James Corner Field Operations, with Lisa Tziona Switkin serving as lead designer, as well as architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, this remarkable urban transformation was spearheaded in 1999 by Robert Hammond and Joshua David, two residents of the High Line’s Chelsea neighborhood.

FYI..the damage is a bullet hole. the cop said it was a 22.

The major difference I see is the insurance company figured a used quarter panel & the body shop figured repairing the existing quarter panel.
Without seeing the damage, I can only guess, but you are probably better off having the panel repaired. A used panel will have an increased risk of rust, may have had previous damage repaired, and if improperly installed it could compromise the factory engineered crush zones, increasing the risk of passenger injury in a rear end collision.

A skilled technician can make an invisible and durable repair to most any repairable dent. (many insurance adjusters are clueless when it comes to what can be repaired & what can’t.)

By all means, have them look it over. I would even take it to a second shop to verify that it is something that should be repaired or replaced.

how to prevent cooling tower corrosion besides chemical treatment?

Posted by admin on July 13th, 2010 and filed under prevent corrosion | 1 Comment »

any help would be much appreciated, thanks

Most cooling towers are internally constructed of wood. The key is to treat water in such a way that it does not react with the lignin in the wood. The other problem is algae and fungus growing on the wood surface which reduces the heat transfer area. I am not sure what corrosion are you referring to. Below is a basic maintenance program.

Can your teeth recover from corrosion caused by sodas?

Posted by admin on July 13th, 2010 and filed under corrosion | 4 Comments »

I have sensitive teeth and I heard that this can be caused by corrosion from sodas. If I stop drinking soda, will my teeth rebuild the enamel or am I doomed?

Enamel has no way of regenerating. Once it is gone, it is gone.
