I used 0.6 on my mini project after using 0.8 for previous project, i found it easier for butt welding 0.8mm material.
I use an mb15 torch 3m and have a short gap between roller and liner, also have tension set so it slips rather than bird nests if anything goes wrong. Never had my major issues...
My car is not finished yet, so not really had any form of test, but it will only be used in summer so don’t think any issues will show, but I do like the raptor for its simplicity of being tinted to body colour. It is very hard though so may chip in use, but very hard wearing. I have since...
I used the cheap blue tape from toolstation, worked ok and came off easily, for close masking I bought some 3m fineline tape, that was ideal where 2 colours where being painted.
Well as an update the cougartron INOX FURY proved a capable machine on test, and we have purchased one. Tom Baker was the representative who gave us a demo of the machine, So a good result all round
thanks
Thanks, it’s someone named Tom who is demonstrating the machine, but unsure of 2nd name, may be same person.
It’s a supplier near Telford who i have been in contact with. If we can clean the weld without mechanical methods and avoid using acid it will be worth it.
Thanks,
Am near Dudley in the Midlands, have booked a demo with a cougartron inoxfury. Supposed to do MMA weld cleaning, so will see how it performs. The smaller ones although they remove the weld discolouration, they seem to be slow and not 100% effective on the edge of welds, hoping the...
Thanks, it’s mainly MMA welding on 6mm 304 and 316 plate but large areas, have tried a couple of machines but they are quite small, the cougartron extreme looks more robust, will have to see it it action.
I used a devilbis Sri pro to paint 2 classic minis, it has a 1.2 tip. I bought the faracla disposable cup system and had no major problems with 2k and epoxy primers and 2k direct gloss, primer was a little rough as didn't atomise perfect but flatted easily. Main reason I used it was because of...
I started with mainly new metal, only bulkhead is original, but I have sanded everywhere with a combination of p80 sanding pads in da and flap discs on grinder, wiped bulkhead all over with kurust to be sure, then panel wiped all over. One good coat of epoxy mastic then seam sealed all joints...
Aerosol paint has a high thinner content usually and can react easily, I had issues with a aerosol high build primer it even reacted with itself if put on too thick. Can you not use a small compressor and mini gun instead and then use high build epoxy followed by top coat of choice. I would...
I bought a devilbiss sri pro 1.2 with transtech cap and due to it having quite a big fan for a small gun and very low air consumption I have found it really good, I just use disposable cups to get more paint in the pot.
I have found it more than good enough for full panel painting and can be...
I have a Mirka ceros it’s smaller than the deros, in fact about same size and weight as an air da, but has separate transformer.
I also have an air da, unfortunately the air da is very loud and with the compressor working hard as well, I have found the ceros superb and it’s good for wood and...
I have some thicker black ones and they are fine, will look at the brand later and update the thread, they also seem to hold up when using spanner’s which the cheaper ones don’t
