Thanks. I will need to find a LFS that has it in stock tomorrow. I noticed that the AGA kit had a dual outlet lockline for each one.

Another set back. When polyurethaning the trim this morning, in spots the paint was coming off

Evidently 24 hrs is not long enough for the paint to dry since my garage is cold. The spots are only a few and they are very small. I am not sure how to fix it just yet...

lcstorc · 02-04-2007, 09:24 AM

Oh no! Not another setback. Good thing you are such a patient person.

saltwaterfarm · 02-04-2007, 09:37 AM

Can you touch it up? Either with a small paintbrush... or a black sharpie... Or, will you repaint it all?
You do have the worst luck don't you... You handle it well!

Frankie · 02-04-2007, 11:23 AM

Doni, are you putting oil based polyurethane over spray paint?

Woodstock · 02-04-2007, 11:57 AM

Oil based polyurethane over oil based paint.

Can I lightly sand just the areas in need, repaint and then polyurethane?

Dentoid · 02-04-2007, 12:06 PM

You can speed up the druing process with a hand held hair dryer. I would wait for the whole piece to dry before trying to touch up. Or you can spot dry those areas with the hair dryer and retouch before continuing. Oil based paint takes twice as long or longer to dry when the temperature is low. Do you have a space heater to put in the garage? Remember, nothing good happens fast in this hobby.

Good luck.

Woodstock · 02-04-2007, 12:13 PM

Thank you scott for the info. The space heater and blowdryer are great ideas

It isn't that cold to me but anything to speed up oil paint drying is welcomed!

I had the same problem with my tank after I painted it. When I pulled off the masking tape I pulled off a lot of paint. I know better. I shouldve run a knife a long the edge before removing the tape... repainted the spots and now Im
grinnin like a possum peekin over a log at a rotten persimmon!!!!

Witfull · 02-04-2007, 04:18 PM
