can i use my hot tub
can i use my hot tub to store water? it doesnt work so its just sitting on my deck looking for a use. my concern is what will happen during the winter when the temp gets down below freezing in Jan/feb. will it crack?
Pipes will bust for sure.

I was thinking about the same thing in my thread here...
I don't have a hot tub, but if I get one I plan on using it. I think a solar still might be sufficient to purify the water.
If you don't plan on using your hot tub anymore it couldn't hurt to try. Just plug and drain the pipes to make it a sealed tub. It'll probably crack if it freezes, so a solution might be to glue closed-cell foam to all the interior surfaces. This gives the water something to expand in to when it freezes. Make sure the adhestive won't mess up the water safety.
A simpler solution might be to get some foam tubes (like pool toys or pipe insulation), weight the end (like embed them in concrete), and toss a bunch of them in the tub, making sure they pierce the surface. Use quite a few. That'll also give the water something to expand in to. Weighted inflatables might also work, but the air might leak out.
I don't guarantee this'll work, but if option B is to just abandon the hot tub and let it decay it's worth a shot.
I can't

thanks everyone for the replies : ) and ty carve for the link. i will have to give it some more thought as to what i will end up doing with it
As long as it's not a time machine, and you don't have Chevy Chase as your plumber, you should be ok.
As long as it isn't sealed airtight, the water will expand just fine upward without cracking the tub. But DO seal the drains & drain the pipes. Simple as putting a thin rubber cover over the drain. The weight of the water trying to escape should seal the drain, ala kitchen sink or bathtub.
Test? Fill a small Rubbermaid type food storage container about 2 inches from the top with water. DON'T put on the lid. Stick in the freezer. Check on it the next day.
(I do this so I have blocks of ice to put in the dog's water bucket during the summer. Haven't had one crack yet)

The circulation pump in mine is VERY small. I wonder how long it would last on a battery/inverter setup?????
I guess that'd depend on the inverter as much as anything,,,,,
As far as purifing goes, I'm hoping my Monolithic filter and some buckets will fix that!!!!
|The Following User Says Thank You to rickb223 For This Useful Post:
how cold does it get where your hot tub is? do you cover it with one of those foam covers?
not all that cold, tho we have had some yrs that were really cold, but on average i think @ 0 is its worst for most yrs. and yes it has a cover : )
We had a fiberglass one we kept outside years back. The coldest it ever got was 18% we insulated all the pumps and things by covering around the bottom with foam board and then back filling up against the foam board with about a foot of dirt from the yard. (this was not on my porch but on a slab out in the yard) It did not have a roof over but it did have one of those foam covers. It never split. It did get a thin layer of ice on the top but it was not enought to split. But we don't get as cold as you do and the 18% was like for 3 or 4 days then it got up over 32%.
As long as you haven had sex in it in the past bit. Well then again, that does not stop me from going to my bed.

Does the heater still work? Could also put a small tank heater in it for real cold nights they are very well insulated so shouldnt take much.
|The Following User Says Thank You to Pegsmi98 For This Useful Post:
On the positive side, motion helps keep water from freezing. Ranchers often put bubblers in their stock tanks to keep them from freezing over. All these are is a small air pump. That doesn't take much power to run and could easily be run on a small solar panel/battery arrangement. I don't know what temperatures it would protect to, but it might be worth researching.
|The Following User Says Thank You to MikeK For This Useful Post:
The main thing I would suggest is that if the above method is used to inhibit freezing by using a direct connect electrical connection is that MAKE CERTAIN that it is unplugged BEFORE you retrieve any water...else the trickle of electricity may/will kill you.
make a fish pond, lots of videos online of people using an old hot tub.

4 to 6 servings
Traditional pasta carbonara, named for the coal miners who popularized it, is always made with bacon (or a reasonable Italian version thereof). In my star-spangled version, I've added corn and jalapeño, and they go beautifully with the smoky pork.
1 jalapeño
5 bacon slices
2 cups fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 pound fettuccine
3 large eggs
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro, for serving
Cut out and discard seeds and ribs from jalapeño; finely chop jalapeño.
1. Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Leaving fat in skillet, transfer bacon to paper towels to cool and drain. Return skillet to heat. Add corn and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in cream and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add fettuccine and cook until barely tender, about 8 minutes. Drain well and return to pot.
3. Coarsely chop bacon. Beat eggs in small bowl. Gradually whisk into warm cream mixture. Pour over fettuccine in pot, then add Parmesan cheese and reserved bacon. Mix well. Season carefully with salt (it could already be salty enough from bacon and cheese) and a generous grinding of pepper. Serve hot, sprinkled with cilantro.
Add 2 finely chopped garlic cloves to the skillet during the last minute or so of cooking the corn.

text: My sister-in-law was diagnosed with psorisis April of 2005. She is 58 years old. No family history of psorisis. Her doctor has her on Clonidine,(for blood pressure) Zoloft and a whole slew of other meds. They have tried numerous treatment options and this thing just won't get any better. This thing started in her hands, moved to her scalp (that isn't too bad at this time), it has moved to her ankles and to part of her feet. She has started losing her nails, and beginning to have trouble walking. It pains her to drive, and she is now wearing skin tight gloves (advised by her Dr) because her skin hangs from her hands and catches on things. I did a search on the internet and found an article that stated that clonidine was known to cause psorisis. When she first started on all of these medications she didn't have psorisis. Her doctor did change out some of her meds but he still has her on the Clonidine. We need help in finding something that will half way if not completely clear this condition up. Any and all comments will be received gratefully.

Doncaster 1-3 Leeds
- From the section Football
Scott Wootton scored on his debut as Leeds progressed to the Capital One Cup third round with a win over Yorkshire rivals Doncaster.
The defender put his team ahead when he turned in from a Matt Smith flick.
Billy Paynter headed Doncaster level from a David Cotterill cross just after the hour at the Keepmoat Stadium.
But Smith restored the lead with a powerful header before Ross McCormack converted from the spot after Reece Wabara had fouled Dominic Poleon.

Problem is fixed, finally got the latest iOS to work, don't know why. Can't go back to 5.0.1 even though I have the SHSH blobs and all that jazz, I guess I'll wait for a new jailbreak.
Hello all, I know this is a controversial topic and has been covered by an abundant amount of people, but I can not for the life of me get my iPhone to get out of DFU mode. Basically my phone was working fine, then it 'died' and is now stuck in a DFU black screen of death. I have tried many things from using different usb ports/cables and laptops, putting the phone into a pwned state before restoring, and a whole bunch of other things. I once was able to get the logo screen to come up, but out of stupidity I turned it off because I thought I was rid of the DFU error and could reboot (because the apple logo was stuck for a while, if anyone knows the key combination, that would be nice. I was trying to get into DFU mode and wasn't really paying attention which is when I noticed the apple logo) When I try to restore into the newest stock with a clean host file, it gets to the 'preparing to repair iPhone' stage and turns off the phone (which is where I assume it turns off so it could boot again to be restored) but it never actually turns on again, leading me to the 1601 error. If anyone has any ideas or input, I would be delighted to hear, because I have been phone-less for approximately 2 weeks.
-Much Thanks
So I finally I was able to restore, and it completed, but the screen is still black. Any suggestions?

Is there any websites where I can see different color combinations?
2 Attachment(s)
I want to paint my house, but I'm having trouble picking a color. Is there any websites that have a lot of pictures of houses or where I can kind of change paint colors on a similar looking house as mine?
www.benjaminmoore.com has probably one of the best
I believe it's called the Personal Color Viewer
www.prattandlambert.com also has one, but yes BM does seem to have a superior viewer.
One word of warning: Computer monitors are notoriously color-inaccurate. Once you get an idea for a color, be sure to pick up a chip (or better yet, a quart sample) before buying gallons of expensive paint.
Yep a monitor is WAY off compared to what you would actually get. You can at best hope to get some idea of how such colors look together, not a good idea of the colors themselves.

Organic Weed Killer — Calling All Gardeners!
May 3, 2011 at 2:58 PM 1 comment
OMG, I am not kidding. I am so excited about this news: Looking for a harmless, organic, weed killer that actually works? Me too, and I have been for literally decades, and there really is one: Vinegar!
I have a Master Gardener certificate from Colorado State University and I have Never. Heard. This. Kinda goes to show how much the Ortho's of the world control the information, doesn't it?
Anyway, yes. Put regular, full-strength, old-fashioned, white, grocery store-grade vinegar in a spray bottle, spray your weeds and They. Will. Die.
Spray on a day when no rain is forecast and preferably on a day when no rain is forecast for the next two or three days.
I learned this info from an acquaintance on Sunday and promptly came home and sprayed an area in our xeriscaped front yard that is covered in cobble but through which hundreds of tiny little weeds were poking their heads. I dreaded getting down there and pulling them out but I refused to use something like Roundup because I care about stuff like ground water, bees, birds and frankly, myself.
Today, 48-hours later, those pesky buggers (along with some mounds of clover) are shriveling up.
I am thrilled and I'm telling everyone I know.
I may need to apply another coat but heck, so what? I don't feel the least bit guilty and I don't imagine cancer instantaneously forming in my body if I accidentally inhale a whiff.
Try it. It really works!

This is a special Tail of DevotionSee All Tails of Devotion
I'm used to Dad's new job hours now. Mom and Dad come home and then everybody plays and eats and we dogs, we just celebrate. Anyplace else that they go they take me with them and it is so much fun. I hate waiting in the car though. I like people. Why can't they take me into these place where there are lots of people? I go in the dog store with them - why can't I go in the grocery store? I just don't understand. The checkout boy at the grocery store told my mom today that he's never met such a friendly little dog as me. That made Mommy get all puffed up.
Mom and Dad gave me my weekly bath tonight. Sometimes
I wonder if they are trying to drown me, but I feel SO good when I'm done. Mommy wraps me in a nice warm towl and rubs my fur briskly and it feels so envigorating! Then I run and race through the house
and I feel like I could fly if I wanted to. They didn't use the gun on me
all summer - but tonight they took the gun out again. They said it was getting cool out so they needed to "blow" me. They point this gun at me and
it makes a real loud noise and it shoots hot air at me and makes my fur blow around. I really hate the gun. But afterwards they tell me how pretty I look and how good I smell...so maybe it's worth it. I just wish they didn't have
to use that gun.....

Berkshire's Buffett: Coke pay plan makes 'great sense'- CNBC
(Reuters) - Warren Buffett, the billionaire chairman and chief executive officer of conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRKa.N: Quote), praised Coca-Cola's (KO.N: Quote) altered executive compensation plan on Thursday.
"I think the new plan makes great, great sense," Buffett told cable business channel CNBC, referring to Coca-Cola's new guidelines to limit the executive compensation plan, starting next year.
"I think it's remarkable what Coke did," said Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway is the company's biggest shareholder with a 9.1 percent stake. Referring to Maria Elena Lagomasino, chair of Coca-Cola's compensation committee, Buffett said, "I tip my hat to her."
Buffett said he felt as good as ever about his investment in Coca-Cola. He told CNBC earlier this year he had abstained from a shareholder vote on its controversial equity compensation plan when it came up for renewal in April, even though he considered it excessive.
Buffett also said Burger King Worldwide Inc's BKW.N $11.5 billion purchase of Tim Hortons Inc THI.TOTHI.N was not a tax-motivated deal. "Overwhelmingly, most inversion deals have had a huge tax motivation in doing them, I can tell you this one didn't," he said.
Berkshire committed $3 billion in preferred equity for 3G Capital, which controls Burger King, to buy Tim Hortons. Investors and tax experts have said the main reason for Burger King to move its domicile to Canada was to avoid double taxation on profits earned abroad.
Buffett said Berkshire's investment in Tesco Plc (TSCO.L: Quote), Britain's biggest retailer, was a "huge mistake." Berkshire had a roughly 3.96 percent stake in Tesco's shares, according to an early May regulatory filing. Tesco shares have fallen about 46 percent this year.
Buffett also said his company's purchase of auto dealership group Van Tuyl Group, announced Thursday, was an all-cash deal. He said Berkshire would likely buy "a lot more" dealerships over time.
Buffett said if he was invested in asset manager Pimco, he would not have changed his investment after the departure of Bill Gross, the co-founder and chief investment officer. Continued...

I need some help here. My doctor recommended I begin taking an acidophilus supplement. He steered me in the direction of a product called Ultra Dophilus DF which is apparently high quality and claims to be non-dairy. Reading the fine-print, however, it says...
"The Lactobacillus probiotic strain consumes milk-derived nutrients as a food source during one step of the fermentation process. No additional milk-derived nurients were added outside of this fermentation step."
The end product might contain no dairy, but the process certainly does... so I suppose this isn't vegan, right?
Anyway, assuming not, can anyone recommend a vegan acidophilus supplement?
I'm also wondering if this search is futile since the primarily probiotic I should be on is called Lactobacillus acidophilus. Last time I checked, lacto- means milk. 'doh?

So....Where do you live, and what are you asking for the 160?...
I just picked this bad boy up. 1964 Honda CA77 with buco hard bags. The kid got it from his grandfather who bought it from the original owner in 68. He titled and plated it for 69 but got injured on another bike and lost interest in riding. He somewhat properly stored it in 69. The tank and internal items look really great. The external parts have surface rust and minor pitting on some chrome but really good for a 64. The exhaust is completely shot and it is missing the battery side cover and the tires are flat but I think if I put air in the tubes they may hold. Other than that everything else is nice. It came with the original tool kit and owners manual. It has 1884 original miles, kicked right over and felt good but haven't checked compression numbers yet. It was in worse shape than I expected from the details, talking to him, and the poor quality pictures but I am very happy with it and I will be selling my 69 cb160 to let this one keep a spot in the garage. The kid was asking 800 and I told him I could do 750 but when I got there and seen how different the condition was than explained/expected I ended up offering 500 and we settled at 550. I think 550 was a steal of a deal with all the included items, history, condition, and mileage. Sorry for the crappy pic, it is dark here and I will have to get a better one later.
So....Where do you live, and what are you asking for the 160?...
"I have a mind like a steel trap.....Old and rusty, of antiquated design, and hard to get stuff back out of...."
For a CA77 that's that close to being complete I'd say you got a good deal. Congratulations!

Sorry Sprint, I sold the 160 for 600 bucks. I need to get my notifications turned back on because I forgot to check on my thread and I wasn't getting emails that anyone was responding. I apologize...
Thanks guys for looking and commenting. I have since found a pair of reproduction models of the original mufflers in stainless steel that were used and a little beat up but they are identical to the originals in every way. I also found a side cover to replace the missing one although it is gray and pretty rusty. I was thinking of painting it to the original black but I can't find any paint codes or info on paint colors for these older ones. I am currently planning on having my brother paint both side covers and the buco bags the same black color and try to get it really close and do those pieces so it will all look similar.... As far as a full resto, probably wont happen for a really long time. It will probably be like a rusto. I am just going to clean it up and ride it like it is. It is a very nice find and the way the honda motors are built I plan on riding this one for a very long time without too many issues. Then I'll do a full resto on her and keep riding. I'll post pics in a build thread or something to keep you updated. I may take this one and my '71 cl450 cafe racer down to barber next year.

Nope, They only list the CA77 model for 1966 in red for paint. No other years and no other colors... I have looked at a couple other sides too with no luck. Finding this old paint is a pain in the a$$... I keep fishing for help though. I asked the guys over at the honda305 forum too with no luck. hopefully I find something before the time comes to do the painting.
hey congrats!!!! If you're happy, then we are too!
is the bike rideable yet? Once it is can you share some thoughts?

Now, it's coming from his former teammates.
On Thursday, Donald Driver was asked about Greg Jennings' practically nonstop criticism of Rodgers' leadership style. Rather than defend his former quarterback, Driver piled on a bit.
"We've always said that the quarterback is the one that needs to take the pressure off everyone else," Driver said, via quotes on ESPN.com taken from Driver's appearance on the "Mike & Mike" program on ESPN Radio. "If a guy runs the wrong route, it's easy for the quarterback to say, 'Hey, I told him to run that route' than for the guy to be like, 'Well, I ran the wrong route.'
"Sometimes you ask Aaron to take the pressure off the guys so we won't look bad, but he didn't want to do that. He felt like if you did something bad, you do it. But I think that's the difference. You want that leadership, and I think sometimes you may not feel like you got it. You have to earn that respect at the end of the day, and I think that's what Greg was probably referring to."
Rodgers has blown off Jennings' comments when asked by reporters in Green Bay, and he did so again at Sports Illustrated's new TheMMQB.com.
Coach Mike McCarthy sounded exasperated when asked after Thursday's practice.
"I didn't get to read the whole thing," McCarthy said, "I didn't understand it and, frankly, I think Aaron manages his job responsibility very well. To answer your question specifically, accountability is throughout your whole football team. The quarterback position, we take a lot of pride in the way it's coached. That's the most overly criticized position on our whole team internally. But as far as Donald, I'm very fond of Donald. I know he's going through a tough period right now with his loss, and my thoughts and prayers are out to him and his family. But I don't know that to really say about the comments."
Driver, who noticeably never mentioned Rodgers in his retirement speech, took to Twitter and blamed it on the media. He also said, "I can't believe people would think I'm talking about Aaron. Aaron is a great person and good friend … The issue is between him and Greg. I love them both. Great friends."

Sanding before cutting and buffing
Im using SPI universal clear and following 'the perfect paint job' instructions from the manufacturer.
After letting the final clear coat sit for 3 days Im sanding with 800, 1000, 1200, and finishing with 1500 before cutting with a wool pad and polishing. I have read other posts where people go up to 2000 on wetsanding. Is there a huge difference between 1500 and 2000 if Im going to cut and buff thereafter?
Also, I read the instructions and it recommends cutting and buffing within 2 days to 2 weeks what happens if its been a month or more?
There is probably no difference if you stop at 1500 ...It may take you slightly longer to remove the 1500 scratches with the buff .
The wool pads are quite agressive compared to the foam pads so it should cut back quite quickly.
If you are just learning with a buff I would recommend a foam pad
The longer you leave it to sand and buff the harder the paint becomes as it cures.
A lot of people will re sand and buff their car again after a year or longer and have a perfect finish, so dont worry if you cant get to finish it within a couple of weeks.
sanding with 800 ,1000 makes me cringe and for the life of me I dont know why Barry recomends doing this but since your following his instructions ,follow them to a tee...even use the compounds he recomends maybe he knows something I dont about cutting and buffing,it wouldnt be the first time.
If you havent already started the sanding try doing it his way on one panel then on another panel start with 1200 then 1500 ,then on another panel just 1500 alone and see which way you prefer.
usually I start on the top surfaces but for you I would start on the sides (because they are easier) see which way works best for you, getting 800 scratches out of a hood might take a couple days alone even if its been taken up to 2000 .....
For those who might not understand why I would say all this,Think back when you did the filler work and sanded it down with 36 then went to 80 ,you couldnt sand all the deep 36 scratches out could you ....Sure the top smoothed out real nice but the 36 scrathes could still be seen so they needed filling with poly putty or building primer ,right? its the same thing with clear....I've never used 800 on clear and the only thing 1000 is good for is sanding out a run and even then you want to be careful not to sand the run completely out and down to the surface you'd want to leave a little of the run and finish it with 1200 and 1500...Those 1000 grit scratches are a bear to get out completely....
But like I said maybe I'm missing something so if anyone has done it this way starting with 800 how did it work for you and how long did it take????
Mike brings up some good points here. I for one do use 800 to color sand. Just started that in the last year ot too. What I do is use an aluminum block under the 800 which levels the orange peel really well. Once I have the orange peel cut level I switch to a hard rubber block and go to 1000 or 1200. I find that the speed and efficiancy that it levels the orange peel makes up for the extra time to take out the sand scratches. It may be that a painter with a good booth, gun, and technique could shoot a slick enough paint job that he may not like the 800 but I find if I start with 1200 it takes sooooooo long to level the orange peel.
John L
urethane wave/lump whatever you want to call it ?
I started with 800 where there is visible orange peel and where theres minimal I started with 1000. I do see you point in the 800 creating scratches. Im going to do what you recommended and start one section with 800 and one with 1000. SPI didnt recommend starting with 800 but does mention to use up to 1500.
It just depends on your level of acceptance, what ever makes you happy is OK. Testing different procedures will tell you that. I know a highly experienced painter who only uses 1200 and then just buffs with one product, and can't understand why anyone would use more.
It's my opinion that if you aren't a master buffer then you have to respect the work and by that I mean if you're a newbie buffer don't go thinking you can put a 1000-1200 scratch into clear coat and not have issues...and I'm talking issues that fly in your face when you're compounding and/or polishing and THEN finding out you haven't cleared away your 1000-1200 scratches. Then you're walking backwards and we've all done that. This is why I am careful with what grit I put in that clear. I start with 1500 in a /\/\/\ type sanding pattern THEN I go with sanding with the direction of the bodylines (front of car to back) with the block cocked a little so the corner of the paper around my soft block doesn't gouge. It's much easier to cancel out a scratch going against the direction of the scratch and it will also tell you that you have canceled them out correctly by just looking at the direction of the scratches. Once I know all my scratches are going straight then I know all my scratches are 2000. At that point it's not so important to sand in another direction cause a 2000 scratch isn't troublesome. I then go to 2500 by hand or trizac 3000. It's simple and safe and in the end I don't have to backtrack from being ready to polish to then seeing something that makes me go back to wetsanding. It eliminates all that crap.
the only time I go to 1000 is when I deal with sags or runs. Even then I don't fully sand them out with 1000. I'm not a master buffer but I found this procedure makes it appear that I am.

The sand scratches created by wet sanding with 800 are far more shallow than most orange peel. The only issue you have if you level the orange peel with a hard block and 800 or 1000 grit is making sure you do a quality follow up with 1200 and/or 1500. If you don't, you will instantly know it when you begin to buff. Yes, you will have to back up and sand those scratches out with 1500 but that is not the end of the world. The important thing that must be done for a first class job is leveling the orange peel, nibs, dust and trash. You can give attention to the dust spots, knats, and misc trash with a fine paper but to color sand orange peel out level starting with 1500 will take forever. I used to start with 1200 until I talked to a fellow who had just rubbed a car that had a finish "you could walk right in to". I asked him what his secret was and he told me he started out leveling it with the metal sanding block and 800. After trying it I was sold. Quality work takes time but is worth it in the end.
John L
So I can see starting with 800 (kind of ,I guess) if you have the wave but If it was me and I had the wave I'd sand it (with a block and 600) and reclear it.....
I am glad to hear I'm not the only one that hard blocks the clear but I block with 600 and reshoot it rather than buff but thats only on my best work..
One thing I have learned in over 30 yrs of doing this work is theres no one way to do something and what works for me dont necessarily mean it'll work for everyone....But for me buffing really sucks and I hate it, but I still want that perfectly flat look I just dont want to get it from buffing.
INMO, the "perfect" paint job would need NO cutting OR buffing..LOL
but no matter how slick I spray my clear and think I only have to nib out a few pieces of trash ,once I start nibbing I ALWAYS end up seeing some peel and end up sanding edge to edge....
The main problem is everybody THINKS they want the perfect paint job when they paint thier 1980 suburu themselves when all they really want is a nice,respectable job they can be proud of...You ever notice most threads say whats the BEST way to fix this or whats the BEST primer or whatever and what they really want is whats the best way to repair or material to use for this "paticular" car and what your using it for...
I cant even tell you how many times someone will come to the shop wanting my best work and point to my old impala and say just like that one...well that impala was never cut & buffed and has trash all over it...but at 5' away it looks pretty darn good ,slicker than dog poop but just average at best. can you imagine how mad someone would be when they find out how much work it is sanding that 1980 suburu starting with 800....when all they really wanted was perfect for them...
Besides in 90% of the cases its not a urathane wave that is the culprit for a newbie or even a pro,, it's the bodywork wave and you can sand the clear all day long with 800 and you'll never get it out...kinda like polishing a turd...
Well, I've rambled on long enough I hope I've made a little sence and gave a few guys something to think about when the time comes to paint thier car...

cyclopsblown34 (07-09-2012)
Lets give credit where credit is due, painters...the best paint jobs start with the best bodywork...and thats the begining and the end of it...So the next time someone says how nice your paint work is ,insted of just saying thanks and taking all the glory,how about telling them dont thank me ,thank the bodyman,it wouldnt have been possible without that fantastic bodywork....After all who you gonna blame if theres the slightest problem????
"Made a lot of sense" is right!
This thread should be made a sticky, this thread has provided some GREAT information from everyone, if there is one thing that pops up over and over and is one of those frightening steps for a newbe it's cutting and buffing that paper thin layer of gold! The information gotten from this thread is VERY valuable information indeed!
I am with you Mike on the "urethane wave" too much being applied too soon is generally the culprit if you ask me.
First let me say that I LOVE cutting and polishing a show quality paint job, one that I shot of course, cutting and polishing someone else's work is scary to me even after all these years. But doing that final touch on a car, after a million and a half hours of welding and bare metal and blocking and all the hard work you get to take your time and cut that micro thick film down to perfection and make it SHINE, I LOVE it!
And my real "color sanding" experience started nearly 35 years ago doing complete show quality lacquer paint jobs where they got fully color sanded after every five coats (for a total of 15 usually) and I am talking every single square inch, EVERY single spec of orange peel or texture, even in the jambs! Like I say, I LOVE this stuff!
Anyway, as Mike said there are many ways to do this and many will get the job done well. If you have five different guys there may be five different ways that will exist simply because of five different talents. We all have had different lessons that have taught us to go down a slightly different road to get to the same end result.
The one thing I have always done is try to apply a perfect layer of product (be it primer, paint or clear) in that I have the most consistent film thickness. Then when color sanding I sand it the same way, with the most consistent removal of film leaving the most consistent film in the end. Sounds pretty much common sense and that is what most of us do, but I can't emphasize enough how important it is to cut evenly.
The coarser the paper, the faster this can get out of control, so walk softly when using the 800. And remember when I started doing this we didn't even have the 800! We did it with 600 and when that "ultra fine" (the first paper finer than 600) came out it was a GOD SENT!
Ok, my method in a nut shell. I don't remove ALL the texture with the first paper (typically 1200, depending on what it needs, some times 1000 or even that 800 in areas). This is one of the mistakes I feel guys will make. They cut it perfectly flat and then move on to the next grit, in my opinion that is removing too much material, and unnecessarily I might add. If you are going to have to be sanding out sand scratches from the 800, removing material, why on earth would you need to cut the texture completely off with the 800? Why not cut it down to where you have learned the next step (being 1000) is going to cut the texture anyway when cutting down thru the 800 scratches?
So basically I cut the texture down to where the next grit is going to remove the previous grit and the remaining texture, this is at least for the first couple of steps 1000-1200 but maybe even going to the next, 1500. Then leaving zero texture for the 2000. With this method you are removing the minimum of that paper thin film of gold.
I make sure that the panel is PERFECTLY clean before each step. The bucket is PERFECTLY CLEAN. We are talking clean enough to drink out of, and I am not exaggerating, clean enough to drink out of. The paper is again, perfectly clean. If a piece ever falls on the ground it is NOT reused without a trip to the faucet or sink to wash and get a very close inspection. Any rag to wipe the surface is kept clean like I was using it to wash my face. If the rag were to drop on the floor it would NOT be reused no matter what, a replacement is gotten. We are talking operation room clean here, there is nothing like picking up some microscopic piece of trash under the 2000 grit paper requiring you to cut that layer of gold more! So keeping things clean is of the UPMOST importance.
And on products, I use Mequiars products Click here
I have not used any paper that even comes close to the "Unigrit" paper they sell, it blows away 3m by leaps and bounds. The "Power cleaner" compound is the best I have found. click here It doesn't take nearly as much as other brands which means you don't have your walls and the rest of the car covered in splatter. It is amazing stuff if you ask me.
But honestly, I have said for years if Mequiars starts making televisions or opens a restaurant I will be there, they are THAT good of a company.
cleanliness and being anal is super important in paint and cutting and rubbing. It's the difference between a few swirls and a lot. We hired this guy for about 3 months, 30 years exp, had a car on a cover of hot rod and even an article on the build, but dropped the ball big time. Bodyman/painter but was sloppy, which was the reason he was later fired. He hopped on a few cars with us but mainly did the low end spot jobs. Then one day a fully restored Camaro they had only painted and changed the color of the stripes previously, had come in for some spot repairs around the drip rails...First he put a DA pigtail on the driver's glass, scratched the windshield with his moulding tool, and may have also cracked the windshield in an area where he had trouble getting the moulding off(he denied it) the tiny spot repair he did that got poly primed needed to be primed twice. So he does a decent job spraying it but now it's time for buffing. This is where the excuses came... He just couldn't get the swirls out, burned through one area, and lost his job for how he reacted to it and his lack of attention. Too stubborn to listen. In a nutshell, we all would go back there to check his "progress" and without knowing too much of his techniques I have an opinion on what killed the job...NOT KEEPING THE CAR CLEAN and not being thorough.
He didn't have a surefire way to get rid of 1000 scratch marks, which tells us he used to work in a crappy resto shop but let's not forget the time buffing and even polishing before his left over 1000 scratches were pointed out. At this point he's buffing and rebuffing trying to fight swirls while we occasionally and quietly would go over to the car to eyeball the areas where we saw sand scratches, and this guys trying to go to polish while we're still seeing swirls AND sand scratches. So then the excuses come out about product, waiting to long to cut it open, etc-etc. The car full of wool, dry compound(even in the cowl vent), break thrus on a few corners, mega swirls, and a disgusted boss. It got repainted and completed by somebody else. The moral of the story, this guy had a few guys fooled about his ability and it was cutting and buffing (out of all things) that finally showed everybody he over sold him self in the interview process by embellishing his skill level. So I have that as a reminder as to why I wouldn't recommend a non professional to cut a clear open with 800. A non professional painter might leave a lot of orange peel and starting with 800 makes me cringe at the thought of how much will be left to protect the car when it's all said and done. I don't think I've had to deal with urethane wave. I think if the bodywork and prep is perfect than the car will look perfect, and with that said I wouldn't recommend a newb to cut urethane waves out cause most likely the car won't be perfect anyways. It's just adding a bunch of risk to the equation and not yielding a noticeable result for their skill level. Not knocking anyone who does this technique, just don't think it should be recommended without a warning about implications.

Brian, Im with you. This is my first car I have painted. I just learned a bit of welding, hammer and dolly work, priming, blocking, sealing, painting, clearcoating and now cutting and buffing. Its been a year and a half but thanks to you all and all of the advise. I couldnt of done it without this site.
That said I do not want to cut too many corners after all that hard work. I came to the conclusion given that I didnt lay the clear that smooth and have some trash in it that Im going to cut with 1000, 1200, 1500 then buff with wool pad and polish with foam. Even though its taking me a bit longer to cut the orange peel with 1000 its keeping me from cutting through the clear in some corners and in the long run saving me some time.
I feel like I will paint my next car a lot better from what Ive learned with this car. I plan on selling this car as soon as I finish because I have two more projects behind it that Im planning on keeping (1940 desoto coupe, and 1964 Cadillac deville)

text: Daleks invade Sesame Street Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Trek and other nerd heroes appear at 'Numeric Con' Comments Written By Jonathan Holmes 10:27 AM, 04 August 2014 Can you tell me how to geek out to Sesame Street? Easy, just watch their upcoming 'Numeric Con' episode. A brilliant parody of Comic Con (with an educational twist, of course) the episode features Sesame Street characters like Elmo dressed up as comic book and sci-fi heroes like Princess Leia and Batman ('The Dark Nine'). Most exciting for young Whovians are the appearance of Tom Baker's Doctor, the Tardis and some suspiciously Dalek-shaped creatures screeching "Enumerate". Also making cameos are Wolverine ('Fiverine') from the X-Men, Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons and an absolutely perfect impression of William Shatner as Captain Kirk. Best. Numeric Con. Ever.

Accent with color
A hip-high ceramic pot in a glossy azure blue provided the inspiration for this garden. The homeowner converted the container into a focal-point fountain and repeated its color lavishly throughout the whole space.
Paint. Normally, who pays attention to a standard terra-cotta pot? Wainscoat the bottom half a contrasting blue, though, and everyone notices.
Fabric. A rusty but still serviceable wrought-iron sofa looks fresh again thanks to a coverlet made of striped sheets. No upholstery costs needed for this shabby-chic look. The area rug under the coffee table, which reinforces the outdoor room feel, is made of recycled plastics.
Metal. An inexpensive candle lantern takes on a new personality when painted tangerine. The warm shade complements the cool blues in the ceramics and fabrics, and picks up the coppery succulents in the nearby pot.

After almost four years in jail, Maurice Clarett is headed back to school ... the same school he left after his freshman year. Ohio State confirmed Clarett has been granted enrollment at the university and will start classes this summer.
"Maurice Clarett has been granted re-entry into the Ohio State University, following a review by the College of Education and Human Ecology," said Jim Lynch, director of media relations for Ohio State.
Clarett was found guilty of aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon in 2006 and sentenced to 7½ years in jail. He was released from prison in April after good behavior.
"This is a surreal feeling to be back at Ohio State in such a supportive environment," Clarett said in a statement. "I have looked forward to being back in school and I'm doing my best to fit in with other students. I don't want to be a distraction or nuisance to the football team or to students on campus."

Survivor Speaks to UF Students
It's no secret that doctors are lifesavers... literally.
But one woman from North Central Florida wants everyone to know that her physical therapist is the reason she recovered after a devastating car accident.
When she was 18, Bradley and two of her friends, Cody Roberts and Corey Knappins, were in a car crash.... both boys were killed.
Bradley spent three weeks in a coma. When she woke up... she had a difficult road ahead, learning to walk and talk again.
And that's where her physical therapist Mike Spillane stepped in...
Now, three years later, Bradley and Spillane are sharing their story... to students hoping to work in the medical field... many of whom want to be therapists themselves.
Spillane says right after Bradley's accident, she couldn't do anything for herself...
And today, she's a vibrant 21-year-old... who still has obstacles to overcome... but is confident she'll be able to do it with Spillane's help.

This brings forth a story that has been brewing in the back of my mind. It is about a girl who is blessed (or is it cursed?) with incredible power. Her father died before she was born, and her mother died when she was young. Her step-father is a power-hungry bastard, and he is forcing her to marry the evil lord. This would be just before a young half-dragon and his dragon allies crash the attempted wedding.

Beautiful Poem
Why DOES Facebook Exist? :-)
This certainly made me laugh!!!
"For those of my generation who do not use and cannot comprehend why Facebook exists:
"I am trying to make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same principles. Therefore, every day I walk down the street and tell passersby what I have eaten, how I feel at the moment, what I have done the night before, what I will do later, and with whom.
"I give them pictures of my family, my dog, and of me gardening, taking things apart in the garage, watering the lawn, standing in front of landmarks, driving around town, having lunch, and doing what anybody and everybody does every day.
"I also listen to their conversations, give them the "thumbs up" and tell them I like them.
"And it works just like Facebook. I already have four people following me:
two police officers, a private investigator, and a psychiatrist."

The Undercurrent delves into the world of mass agriculture to ask how one company has such control over food supply. The name Monsanto was once synonymous with Agent Orange, but today it's the dominance of the widespread herbicide Roundup which helps keep the company on top. But is the World Health Organisation's claim that Roundup 'probably' causes cancer, cause for concern? And what about the company's stance on patenting which sees farmers in developing countries unable to hold on to seed? Guardian Australia has joined forces with The Undercurrent – an online news show billing itself as an antidote to the five-second soundbite – for a four-part series over June and July. Brisbane creators Jen Dainer and Dan Graetz say it is the show they wish existed – so they created it themselves
Billy Graham's Final Message to America
God Comes Before My Wife and Other Stupid Statements
I discovered Credo House online today and read an article from 2009. The title of this piece really grabbed me! 🙂 It's a very honest article. Make sure you read the COMMENTS that erupted from folks who read the article. I thought it was interesting how some people think that God = ministry and ministry = God. In all things, God comes first. Is that true, too, for one's ministry? Read on.
"God Comes Before My Wife" . . . And Other Stupid Statements
by C. Michael Patton
Here is a question I recieved from someone as a follow-up to my last blog.
I have a deep love for the lady who I've been dating and I'm getting set to pop the question to her.
I love apologetics. You know that. I love teaching it as well. However, apologetics is not God. It is not the gospel. No one's ministry is God. I have told my Princess repeatedly that God will always be #1. She must be second place. I must put her before that without putting her before God. How can I teach and defend the gospel if I am not living it? Part of living it means giving my wife the proper place in my world.
So while I'm on that, let me ask you how you make a division. How do you keep up a life of study properly with a life of marriage? I know if I give all of my attention to study, well she's deprived and that's not right. On the other hand, if all I do is give her attention, well we don't eat. I have to do both. I'd like your insight.
Let me start by saying that Kristie and I love each other deeply and we are totally committed to each other. However, we have not had a "good" marriage by any stretch. I am not sure I should be saying this. Not because Kristie would not approve, but because it exposes something that causes me a great deal of shame to reveal. I wish that I could say that I had even a typically decent marriage, but I don't think this is the case.
Kristie and I are worlds apart. Not only in personality, but spiritually as well. Well, let me qualify this some. I am not saying that one of us is super spiritual while the other is a dud, but that we are different. Kristie has never resented my ministry and has, at times, served as an encouragement. But she is not that interested in what I do. Theology is not her thing. The same is true for me with regard to her priorities. Sometimes it feels as if we are like magnets turned the wrong way. Our relationship is, for lack of a better word, clumsy. We have good chemistry in a very real way (which I am so thankful for), but, from a human standpoint, we are not a "match made in heaven."
There is a lot more that can be said.
I don't, at this point in my life, have a nice red bow that is coming in the form of a "but…" I am just giving you some of the background so you can understand my answer. If Kristie and I were to allow our relationship to go in a direction that "seems" natural, I think we would drift completely apart, she in her world, and I in mine. I could very easily say to myself that my work and ministry are far more productive than the treadmill of problems that come by way of my marriage. My ministry could easily get separated from my marriage and become the de factopriority of my day (and it sometimes does when I am in one of "those" moods).
However, I would say from experience that if your marriage is not going well,nothing is going well. Your ministry, insights, and everything else will suffer when your wife is not your priority. And if it does not, then that may be an even bigger problem: apathy. Apathy toward your marital relationship. Solution: Redirect all passion to ministry. What a terrible place to be. Understandable, but terrible.
"But, but, I am doing so much good in ministry. I suck at marriage." I know how it feels, but don't separate the two. Your marriage is and should always be your first and foremost ministry. Even if it is not as "successful" as your other pursuits, don't compare them. Before God, you are called to love her and give yourself up for her as Christ did the church, even if you are worlds apart. Christ and the church were worlds apart, too.
(Sheesh…what self-therapy here.)
"But what if my wife keeps me from ministry? What if she only serves as massive speed bumps to my 'calling'?"
I try to keep this in mind: God does not really need me. As much as I like to think I am significant (i.e., if I don't get this blog done, this class taught, this person's theology corrected, who will?), my family must come first. It is so easy to forget this or to become bitter towards your wife. There is a reason why we are told to treat them tenderly.
Your passions should not be divided, but they often will be. When it comes to the big decisions, always choose your family. When it comes to the big decisions,always choose your family. When it comes to the big decisions, always choose your family. That is something, I believe, you will not regret on your death bed. God has numerous ways to get done that which we felt like we were supposed to. If you are married, your primary area of service is your wife.
"But who comes first, God or my wife?"
Not a good way to put it. Not good at all. It is like saying, what comes first, God's commandments or God himself. Most certainly, there are times when you will have to follow God rather than your wife, but this is not saying that God will ever call on you to neglect your responsibility to love her in order to serve him. While it is true that you put God first, I don't know how to separate that from putting your wife first. In other words, you put your wife first precisely because you put God first.
For those of you who have a passion for ministry, do not separate this from your passion for your family. Don't become bitter, apathetic, or dismissive towards the wife that God has given to you. She is your first ministry. If you do well with her, you have done better than one who writes, speaks, blogs, and preaches for God to the neglect of his wife.
As hard as it is for me to say, if your ministry is not providing for your family, find something that will.

text: Why it's done By Mayo Clinic Staff Print MRI is a noninvasive way for your doctor to examine your organs, tissues and skeletal system. It produces high-resolution images of the inside of the body that help diagnose a variety of problems. MRI of the brain and spinal cord MRI is the most frequently used imaging test of the brain and spinal cord. It's often performed to help diagnose: Aneurysms of cerebral vessels Disorders of the eye and inner ear Multiple sclerosis Spinal cord injuries Stroke Tumors Brain injury from trauma A special type of MRI is the functional MRI of the brain (fMRI). It measures the metabolic changes that occur within the brain. It may be used to examine the brain's anatomy and determine which parts of the brain are handling critical functions. This helps identify important language and movement control areas in the brains of people being considered for brain surgery. Functional MRI may also be used to assess damage from a head injury or from disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. MRI of the heart and blood vessels MRI that focuses on the heart or blood vessels can assess: The size and function of the heart's chambers Thickness and movement of the walls of the heart The extent of damage caused by heart attack or heart disease Structural problems in the aorta, such as aneurysms or dissections Inflammation or blockages in the blood vessels MRI of other internal organs MRI may be used to check for tumors or other abnormalities of many organs in the body, including the: Liver and bile ducts Kidneys Spleen Pancreas Uterus Ovaries Prostate MRI of bones and joints MRI may be used to help evaluate: Joint abnormalities caused by traumatic or repetitive injuries, such as torn cartilage or ligaments Disk abnormalities in the spine Bone infections Tumors of the bones and soft tissues MRI of the breasts MRI may be used in addition to mammography to detect breast cancer, particularly in women who have dense breast tissue or who may be at high risk of the disease.

BHS video student graduates early to join Hollywood camera crew
Ballard High School senior Louis Weissman has been dreaming of working behind the camera on a Hollywood feature film for the last few years as he worked on numerous films in the Ballard High School Video Production Program.
His goal seemed nearer recently when he was accepted to the prestigious film production program at Emerson College in Boston. Then last week, he landed a job in the camera department for a feature film shooting in Los Angeles this spring.
Weissman was one of 18 BHS video students to tour the Los Angeles film schools and industry on a field trip in 2010. Upon his return, he co-founded 243 Productions with four classmates. Their company has created productions for a variety of clients.
Weissman also excelled on productions in class. His first visual story, Mr. Clean, was an Official Selection of the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY) in 2011. His follow-up effort, the digital film Safe at Last, was a Winner at the regional Young People's Film Festival and will be featured at NFFTY next month. He's had internships at NFFTY during the school year and in Los Angeles last summer.
The big break came as a result of his LA internship.
"The Associate Producer, Colin Ebeling, was on set helping out, and I was camera assisting: changing lenses and things. He complimented me on my hustle and knowledge and said he'd like to work with me again in the future," said Weissman. He thought nothing more of the conversation until the end of January, when Ebeling tracked him down about a camera crew position.
"It was unreal," said Weissman. "I ran downstairs to tell my dad so quickly I lost a slipper on the way."
The feature, titled Bounty Killer, is set in a future society after years of global corporate rule and collapse. It concerns a specially trained assassin on a mission to cleanse the post-apocalyptic world of corrupt CEOs – in short, just the kind of movie a teenage boy might enjoy working on. But what really got Weissman's attention was the technology.
"They asked 'Are you familiar with the Arri Alexa?' This is the digital camera that's rivaling film – the same one used to shoot Drive and Game of Thrones. I'd give my right arm to work with that camera. Well, my left arm, because I'd need my right to operate it," Weissman said.
Weissman has already earned sufficient credits to graduate from high school and plans to take his diploma early in order to join the crew in Los Angeles for shooting this spring.
He has no intention of putting film school on hold, however.
"The job I'll be working on doesn't require a college degree, but once I get on that career ladder, I'd like to move up and eventually become a cinematographer some day. Without a college degree, I'd hit a ceiling that I couldn't move beyond. You can learn things on the set you might never learn in college, but the reverse is true, too," Weissman said. "During the hustle and bustle of production, you don't have time to familiarize yourself with art history or ponder what lighting strategy best complements the art design."
