Actually I was playing with the one outside. Did you send Duke past to check on me!

Actually I just came in to see if Ira had any smarta$$ advice for me and to re-read the instructions.

1. Double check for any screw ups - done
2. Fix screw ups - done
3. Sand with 40 grit sand paper - done
4. Fix hole in roof for using 40 grit sand paper in my DA sander - done
5. Continue sanding sticking the sanding disk to my hand - done
6. Blow off and sweep garage - done
7. Wipe down with xylene...look at the pretty bird and could someone remind me to spray for bats!
8. Come in and see if Ira has any smart a$$ advice for me - done
9. Go mix Durabak and roll on - not done

Well here I go....nobody try and stop me...I am serious now... :thinking:

I wonder if there is some thing in the frig to eat?

10. Go make a sandwich! Then proceed to 9.!

I think he stepped in the paint bucket and is embarrassed to admit his toe is stuck there.

First coat ought to be on by now, depending on the beer supply and how many buddies came over to help.

EditGuess I better quit kissin Mike and send next time. :oops:

Has anyone actually seen Elmo, or any so-called Teardrop project, first hand?? :lol:

I think he opened the can first thing this morning and has been smelling the fumes all this time...

J.K. Elmo!!! Hows it going???????

Maybe WE all have sniffed to many fumes and Elmo is a Fignewton of our imaginations

Before you apply any, PEE IN THE CAN!!!

It helps the stuff adhere.

I swear.

DUDE, this is awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome, duuuuuuh.... Elmo gotta be toast by now.

by **elmo** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 3:26 pm

Anyone else having a hard time typing? I will say it gave me a better buzz than the frame paint I used the other day!

Well here she is after one coat.

Alot darker than I wanted, but with the diamond plate for trim...I think it will look good.

This stuff is easy to work with. One gallon covered the whole thing and I wasn't being stingy with it. I could of gotten away with 2 gallons I think? :thinking:

Xylene alone is enough to put you on Pluto.

CONGRATS ELMO - are you happy with it (besides the color)... I think the diamond plate, handles, etc. are reallly going to POP against that color and look Great :thumbsup:
