  1. A product called coil cleaner mixed 50/50 spray on and wash off. Be careful do not let it sit on for more than 2 or 3 minutes it. We use it to clean aluminum A/C coils make sure what you are trying to get off is not corrosion on the wheel it will only accent it if your rims are chemically damaged.

  2. vigilante justice is never the answer but at least in Canada you can rest assure that most all of the people you confront will not pull out a pistol and shoot you. In the US there is a certain amount of courtesy that is unspoken because of our gun laws and truth be told I like it. It cuts down on people who are having a bad day making a "cause" the adrenaline spike of the day.

  3. The secret to the bug suit is to keep the suit away from your skin the distance of a skeeters sucker. Loose cloths and a hat under the suit makes it more effective as well as a dose of deet on the top of the hat makes this skeeter hating comfortable up North.

  4. I never cross the border without a supply of deet 100 and a bug suit. The deet 100 can be sprayed on clothing and hats without getting it on the skin. I am sorry that it is not available up North I think it works the best and that you all have the ability to use it correctly.

  5. I was in the hammock last night playing mindless games on the tablet and had 1 mosquito land on me and a few moths and thought what is with all the bugs tonight. I will no longer complain about the Southern bug count again. I usually reserve my Canada fishing trips for August when the bug count is lower but even then it drives me crazy when it gets dark.

  6. well done looking good. A trick I learned from a counter top fabricator is instead of drywall use cardboard and tape to make the template. use a big piece for the main body then cut strips by placing them next to the edge and use a compass to trace the edge onto the loose piece of cardboard. Cut it out and then slide it to the edge and tape it onto place. You will have the perfect template for any shape you are covering in any product.

  7. If it does not have a crease to it you should be able to push it back out from the inside. The heat and chill works also but it stresses your paint and in some cases will cause it to peel/flake in the near future. Just keep in mind the force that created the dent needs to be counter acted by a force from the exact opposite direction in both pressure and location for the best results.

  8. Not to worried Art,it's a 305 v8,just waiting to get it going and then will change the oil.Thanks.

    Good to hear I have a johnson 150 on the Ranger 2 stroke and a pair of 318 Chryslers on the big boat. I have an aluminum 70 gal fuel cell that feeds the 318's and to keep the fuel healthy I have marine stabile, and an engine bay heater that keeps the tanks and engine warmer than 50F so condensation is less likely. My final protection is a good water separator that is clear and inline before it feeds the twins. The phase separation will show up in the fuel tank as small rust colored balls and only when agitated will it come out milky.
