These are what are used, and typical twice the price of the same piece of kit you can buy in the states

there are a few guides...
The white in the aerosol is not the same colour as the stuff in the tin, bright white in the aerosol and off White in the tin. So make sure you do a couple of test panels for a colour match.
I had the same problem not so long back with sealey filters, they had a real bad batch with poor castings and wouldn't seal, forth time lucky tho but still not acceptable. I wish the Chinese would learn about quality control or just stick to tea, noodles and dinner sets. QA is a big cost in...
Depends on condition, try some autosol first if you don't have the correct kit. Caswell do a good guide but you will need to spend a few quid. A decent bench grinder for a start, and a few mops again depending on condition. I think i bought my cutting compounds from merlin abrahsive on ebay...
Rubber mounts on the compressor, rubber matting on the floor. Frame work with ply each side and the gap filled with acoustic insulation and worktop on top of frame as opposed to ply to make the box a practical work surface, couple of vents and a extractor fan in the left space above the garage...
The only way you will achieve true negative pressure is with a sealed room and more extraction than intake.

Cut a piece of airline, soften it in hot water and insert fitting then secure with a genuine jubilee clip. Can't get much simpler or buy a coiled air line as the tend to be cheaper than a whip line. Lateral thought maybe?
I have a sealey professional, had it for 5 or 6 years now. Has a nice soft touch handle on it too. It is better by a long way over my standard sealey straight die grinder. I was around the same money you are looking at spending. I have recently purchased the orbital sander version to save...
The masonry paint looks like it will be up to the job, seems pretty tough and provides good grip but time will tell. I had some leftover dulux and some b&q stuff, surprisingly the b&q stuff is better. I did run out so had to buy some more, the dulux stuff is £50 for 10l and b&q is £35 for 10l...
The rattle cans are quite thin and require several coats so doesn't work out that cheap but the finish is pretty good. I buy the tins and apply it with a brush or roller then flatten and give a top coat using the rattle cans to give a nice finish . Would certainly recommend it for a multitude...
Not sure why you would want to use something water soluble as pva or emulsion? I forgot to check if my paving seal was polyurethane based, i have a feeling it maybe. I bought it to seal some slate flagging but the finish was too matt so it needs to be used. I only need to make the floor...
I am in the same quandary as you. I don't want to use the polyurethane floor paint as it is very slippery when wet and the polyurethane gives off nasty gases as it breaks down which is known to cause asthma, although my garage floor is textured concrete so it shouldn't be slippery. I never...
Would luv to but not feasible at the moment, recently bought a oven and booth for powder coating as well as 2 powder coating guns and loads of other bits and bobs so i have to make do with what i have.
it could take the weight but hadn't thought about vibration. Don't have the space for a...
Looking for some advice,
I am in the process of researching and planning how to run my air lines in a effective manner. My current set up is pitiful and caused me many problems in the past but as I now looking at doing things right and making the best of what I have. So while I was looking at...
I think the powder coating is being blamed were i think the coaters work is at fault. Powder coating is far tougher than 2k hence why manufacturers use pc over paint from factory. Look at brembo, if paint was better would they really powder coat the calipers. How long ago did you have the...
