Thanks for the video! Bottle label suggestion: placing a piece of clear packing tape over the writing will help protect it from the alcohol.

Thank you for your recommendations and video presentation. It was very helpful. Even though you did not offer alternative procedures, you were very clear in your presentation. And the experience you have had with results was very helpful.

Awesome vid. Try Brother P-Touch labels for labelling PP dispensers containing IPA or acetone. The adhesive is really flexible and stands up to the solvents well. Since the text isn’t ink based, it doesn’t wear off.

For labeling dot-dot-dot it's an exacto knife and some fluorescent duct tape and cut out the name of the product or the molecular formula of the solution and stick it to the bottle. 😉👍

I didn't realize there was a special primer for aluminum and I definitely like the minimal overspray. Got a link for the respirator? Best wishes, Tom Z

I have links in the description for the body, and the cartridges. I like the MSA since that is what I have used as a firefighter for years, but check and see what your local welding shop stocks and I would go with that brand just for ease of resupply. I have particulate filters and the organic vapor and they are great. Thanks for checking out the video.

can you paint aluminum without etching prime ?

@aaronfuksa2047 6 жыл бұрын

Your putting more trust in a brand name, than more proven product like etching primer or epoxy primer. one time i thought rustoleum high pro paint was recommended as it says its for masonary use, but it is not, & the hard finish cracks & peels off quickly compared to plastic or flex paints. also many reviews suggests very low quality failure of the specific labeled rustoleum etch primer, so use something good or mid class like Dupi etch primer with a mask, its temporary acidic. oil paint is fine unless it going through exstreams of expansion & contraction. a scotch pad & abrasive/powder or vinagear realy removes oxidazation before primer. neutralize vinegar or acids before painting, can use alcohol, but its not a great grease removal substance by it self. You said: I don't know, so I want to offer helpful advice. its all about the next highest level for a painter, or maybe not.

All I can tell you is that I used this exact product and procedure 5 years ago on the same vents on a different building, and they look like they did the day I installed them. Low cost, simple procedure and excellent durability for my application. I am very happy with it, and I am glad that I used it again for this project.

@chronicawareness9986 5 жыл бұрын

paint stripper, or wire brush

@merlinious01 5 жыл бұрын

Heat gun works, but is slow going as aluminum transfers heat very well. But, that also means it is forgiving and localized.

@joshuaatkins5197 2 жыл бұрын

If you use wire brush or wheel make sure to use one with stainless steel bristles. You don't want to embed another material into the aluminum.

Protect from what? Aluminum doesn't rust

@merlinious01 5 жыл бұрын

@@allanragnarson7898 It does oxidize, but the oxide layer is impermeable to oxygen, so a thin layer "rusts" preventing further rusting. In his instance, I imagine that he is protecting it from road debris like gravel and salt, which together can pit the aluminum. At the very least, the debris can remove the shine from polished aluminum.
