I recommend a wipe down using lint-free rags and at least 70% Isopropyl alcohol. After that, wear gloves and coat within 24 hrs. We find that minimizes blemishes caused by oils from hands and dirt.

That is what I did for second piece lol. I used a paint prep product with a nonlint rag. :tup: turned out much better as you can see in the pics. :tup: I appreciate the advice, keep it coming.

Been there, done that.

Keep in mind you need high temp tape. I'll post a link to the place I get my stuff from when I get home.

No and I don't want to either.

On most of my picks we have way more crane than the weight requires. But we need big boys to reach the heights im on. Like this one, needed 240' of stick so they had to swing one section of jib. That still had the hook within a few feet of the tip to hit the top of the hen house.

I'm too OCD for wiring. It has to look prefect. :icon14:

At the power plant. We had an operator named Dewhite. Dewhite was a BIG boy. Bigger then JC. Stood 6'6", 395lbs. He hated heights in the worse way. His goal was to be at 400 or a little over 400 lbs in weight. Because there is no OSHA rated ladder or safety harness for weight at 400 lbs and over. It was his way of getting out of work. :shakes head: He was with us for about 2 yrs. Then he went back home to Mississippi. Got a job there. Lost a bunch of weight. Last I heard. He's was around 260lbs.

When I worked at Elliott TurboMachinery. We had a 100 ton overhead crane in the shop. We would routinely lift 130 to 140 tons with it. When we lifted anything at 100 tons or over. We would chase everyone out of the building. Then would only be 3 people in the building. The crane operator a foreman, and a spotter.

On-site. A lot of times. We had to remove the roofs of buildings to get at the equipment to work on it. When you have to remove the top half casing of a centrifugal compressor that weights 35 to 40 tons. And there is no crane inside the building. You do what you have to do. :icon14:

If I was still at Elliott. I could get you all the heat tape you wanted.

If anyone is looking to buy body armor. It will take a minimum of 12 weeks to get it. Some places are saying 16 weeks. There is that much of a demand for it right now.
