Another +1 for Matt.
The first time I picked up a MEP-003 from Chambersburg I met Matt. Matt was a little concerned that the utility trailer I brought would handle the weight of the generator.
I showed him the load rating label and that if he could to please load from the rear of the...
You might still have a problem, as my rep does military and aerospace coatings and I specify and test these coatings for a living, not automotive coatings.
My company uses more CARC from Hentzen than from SW, as I get a better price from Hentzen.
If you were coming to Aberdeen in May, I...
The only thing that CARC does that Polane dosen't is scatter IR signals.
My PPG can get me all of the Sherwin Williams CARC I want provided I sign the no export letter.
As long as you order Green 383, fed standard color # 34094 , Brown 383, fed standard color # 30051, Tan 686A, fed standard...
I'm under the impression that GL is acting as an agent for the government and does not own any of this property.
If these trucks were the property of GL then why would they allow soldiers from the motor pool at various locations to remove parts?
Let me chime in and state that if you apply CARC too thick in one coat or don't allow enough flash off time between coats, CARC will bubble up like sun burn blisters.
The isocynates in CARC react with moisture and as a by-product create carbon dioxide gas. The coating cures from the outside in...
The Mil-Dtl-64159 waterborne CARC is the low VOC environmentally friendly version. The environment might be better off but your pocket won't be.
My in-house corrosion testing in a salt spray cabinet averaged 700 hours before the steel panel started to show rust. In comparison, the 46168 and...
CARC is a trade restricted item and can not be exported without State Department approval.
I was thinking about going to Aberdeen this year and putting out feelers to see how large of a market there was for CARC as a group buy.
My rep called me this week about the export restriction and how...
As for water in your air supply, try cracking the valve in the botton of your air tank slighty open so that you can just feel the air coming out.
Grainger sells filter regulators. Just mount the unit as low as possible the raise the air line height you are spraying with as this should stop...
I don't know about your fax machine, but mine scans and then prints about 2/3 of the fax and then what the status of the fax was. meaning that it was received or was waiting to connect.
I then scan the confirmation page and e-mail that to the rep that is handling my account.
All has worked...
I've performed process audit inspections at a few plating and finishing houses that their painters were in the spray booth with cigarette in mouth and a beer sitting in the corner. This was a few years back, but still goes on since a lot of commercial painters are somewhat chemically challenged...
In a perfect world, everyone would be able to preview the items that they wanted to bid on, the worlds not perfect
People bid based on descriptions of their item with the hope of being able to score a deal. If you had to be present to bid on an auction, prices on GL items would fall to next to...
It's not just CUCV's that are being damaged with fork trucks.
I recovered my second M1061 trailer last week that had one parking brake locked up. Since it was raining cats and dogs, I sprayed the parking brake cables with PB Blaster and pulled on the cable a couple of times to free them up...
Very good advice Lance.
Cured CARC paint dust should be treated as a hazardous waste since it contains heavy metals, especially chrome.
CARC that you are in the process of mixing and spraying contains isocynates which are sensitizers causing respiratory issues and can also cause skin...
I'll make a minor change to what you have stated.
Cured CARC paint no longer contains any free isocynates as they are consumed in the curative process.
The main concern is the heavy metals that are contained in the coating which contains, zinc, cadmium, mercury, chrome and lead.
When...
GL's auto bid function will increase your bid so that you only bid in increments that out bid the other bidder. The higher the price, the higher the steps in the bid are.
EBay’s auto bid allows for you to always be the highest bidder requiring the new bidder to top your bid, not you having to...
Thank you sir!
I normally don't carry my 1" socket set and breaker bar with me due to the weight, so if I only have to bring a couple of sockets, this will lighten up the load quite a bit.
I'm about to recover a M1061 trailer that has a flat tire and needs to be removed and replaced prior to the trip home.
Does anyone know what size are the lug nuts and what size socket/handle fits the spare tire crank? The lugs appear to be the same size as the Deuce lugs, can anyone confirm...
Having previewed a few trucks at some GL locations, I have to ask this question as I have not seen it asked or answered before.
Do the contractors that refurb trucks for the Military start the Odometers and hour meters at zero when a truck goes to overhaul? If so are all of the running gear...
