I applaud all of your preparations to do this paint job, and I hate to be a wet blanket, but that heater will cause massive amounts of condensation and humidity in a closed area. Propane just won't work for heating your space. It's got to be dry heat. Electric is much, much better.

It's amazing how much one forgets over time. One of the by products of combustion is water vapor. I had planned on heating the garage with the over head door open and the heaters outlet directed towards the interior of the garage. Do you still think that's still going to be an issue with only a temperature rise of only 10 degrees? i.e., from the low sixty's to the low seventies?

If you think it's still going to be an issue, then I'll find lots of mass, old brake rotors for example, and borrow the wife's oven.

I would have thought you of all people would have seen the write-up I did.

Your oil coalescer is all boxed up and ready to be shipped. It's in a small flat rate shipping box- hopefully packed well enough so it doesn't get broken. If I had put it in medium flat rate the shipping charges would have been a deal breaker.

Sorry I missed thatMust have missed it in one of the times I logged in on my phone or I was just 1/2 asleep.PM you to get the package on it's way ASAP.If you packed it like you normally do it will be just fine

Sometimes you just have to make your own weather!

$38 for a 28" W.C. regulator and two hoses to connect everything together. Propane heater was dug out of the rubbish bin at work. $0

Looks like youve got all the construction and heating issues well behind you. Bet your getting excited now!!

Now that I feel I have sufficient air volume to run my LVLP and properly conditioned, yes I am. I had the full size reg connected before the desiccant and the pressure dropped a little too much for my liking. Now I have just my old reg at the gun in place. I also removed two of the air line couplers I had and connected the hoses up direct. It will be nice to see how well my gun will work at 16~19 psi inlet pressure.

Nice,can we get the low down on the desiccant filter?A subtle nudge

And one picture of my water and oil filter/separators and desiccant for good measure.

Sorry Ed. Trying my best to get after it. Weatherman predicts low to mid sixties the early part of next week.

As you well know, I have a propane regulator coming for my 125~175,000 heater. Then lets see if I can heat the garage without blowing myself up!

I'll start cleaning up the cylinder head and jugs this weekend. Maybe even get to stripping off the clear coat on the fork lowers and engine case covers as well.

Sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for an update...

Insane workmanship,

[chuck hahn]

FYI....Sticks very stubbornly to the skin too. And a wet finger will allow you to smooth it real nicely..much like you would when smoothing a bead of caulk on a window pain or such. Work quick..3 or 4 minutes till its getting hard.

Yup...I had to "finally" fix the glove box bottom on the 77 750 a few weeks ago. The aluminum duct work tape job had ran its course in the heat and the top became loose and flopping around. Got the same thing at our Oreilleys and done it up properly. Excellent stuff too.
