    Air Brush Kit suggestions

    I was given this kit as a gift a few years ago but never used it (never even unpacked it). I don't think it's a high-quality unit but I'd let it go for $25 plus shipping. https://www.dhgate.com/product/sp134k-0-2mm-0-5mm-7cc-cup-professional-double/487969628.html

    TEMU experience

    Adding to what Hutch said earlier: "Temu is doing next to nothing to keep its supply chains free from slave labor,” said Congressman Mike Gallagher. “At the same time, Temu and Shein are building empires around the de minimis loophole in our import rules—dodging import taxes and evading...

    Gotta wait for the money tree to get ripe for this one

    There's no shortage of overpriced tools out there. And there is no shortage of people with deep pockets to buy them. No worse than a lot of stuff from Bridge City like $200 for a jig to make chopsticks, etc.

    Spray Equipment for Wide Variety of Finishes

    Yes, I have an LVLP setup. I use it to paint cars and it works fine for me. I wouldn't use it for Latex paint. Also, I wouldn't use a conventional gun or an HVLP with a small compressor. Yes, you can do it but you'd be stopping every few minutes waiting for the compressor to catch up. Comparing...

    Spray Equipment for Wide Variety of Finishes

    For a small compressor, I check out an LVLP Gun (Low Volume Low Pressure) gun like this one: https://www.amazon.com/SPRAYIT-SP-33310K-LVLP-Spray-Gun/dp/B008FD7SCW/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3UCM714IL2VQZ&keywords=lvlp+spray+gun+kit&qid=1690296925&sprefix=lvlp+%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-6 I've never been happy with...

    Wax

    No residue. Why would anyone apply wax to unfinished wood before staining? But I guess someone might so I guess the warning is appropriate. Just like on a bottle of epoxy, that says: WARNING - Do not swallow, Causes serious eye irritation, etc.

    Wax

    If you look at the datasheet that Zach posted you will see there is no silicone in the mix, Even so, the usage I'm saying worked better for me than any other wax I have used is on finished furniture. I'm not suggesting you use it on tools; although, as I said, I don't think it would be a...

    Wax

    You apply it after the finish has cured. How can it "interfere"? I've used it over General Finishes Seal-A-Cell and Minwax poly with no problems. I wouldn't suggest using it under a finish or on tools. Although I don't think it would be a problem to use on tools. The finish is too hard and I...

    Wax

    I thought I'd try one with all the new waxes that have come out recently. Decided to go with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Caramic + Graphene Paste Wax. (Gotta love the name) I used it on my car and was really impressed. Easy on/off and it left a great shine. Water beaded up real nice and has...
