    Unusual source for a new 60L blue barrel

    That's good. I was hoping that I hadn't gotten you into a not so good good deal. I noted that there were mixed no and yes answers to the question about waterproofness. And I would note that lots of research indicates that unhappy customers are far, far more likely to post a complaint than...

    DIY No-Sewing Spray Covers

    To throw my three cents in (note the inflation here) how about a silver metallic Sharpie? Or a silver metal marking welding pencil, although it would wear down pretty quickly so you would want to make a fine line. Lance

    Unusual source for a new 60L blue barrel

    Thanks, Dan I wonder if they didn't spring for the fitted conformal gasket due to cost and the intended use? I'd like to get a look at one to see what the deal is but I have five 60L barrels now. Some, most really, of my used barrels had leaking gaskets when I got them and I used neoprene...

    Unusual source for a new 60L blue barrel

    I'm glad it helped someone. I stumbled on it so other than posting it I sure won't claim any credit for finding it. I was actually looking for wine barrel stave project ideas and trying fairly random searches for unusual project ideas and I suppose the fact I was shopping at HD.com for some...

    Unusual source for a new 60L blue barrel

    OK, as a retired (reformed?) home builder and contractor I sometimes spot oddball things that catch my eye. A case in point: I stumbled on this while looking for something utterly unrelated on homedepot.com...

    DIY No-Sewing Spray Covers

    Good thoughts. If you want to be sure to have a strong enough ring a tie down I have a big ammo can full of these guys up to about 3" wide strap size. With enough G/Flex they should work out fine....:rolleyes: https://www.mcmaster.com/3028T57/

    DIY No-Sewing Spray Covers

    Thanks, Mike I was hoping the Dual Lock worked and will be really interested to see how it works over time. I have been kind of ruminating over sewing plain back Dual Lock on the inside of a spray cover in strips like you used and putting vertical clear Dual Lock strips on the hull to allow...

    DIY No-Sewing Spray Covers

    Ahh, I see now that it is buried a couple of pages deep in a pop up thingy. Thanks, I suspected something like 400D. And am I missing something here? Is Visqueen nothing but standard poly sheeting? If so, as a retired (reformed?) builder I've got oodles of it. Best regards, Lance

    DIY No-Sewing Spray Covers

    Hi, Mike. I hope you and the family are all well. The pattern making demo and associated discussion should come in handy. I recently got a new-to-me sewing machine in an industrial table and sporting an industrial clutch motor drive and will soon be getting more sewing practice with an eye to...

    Election Reminder

    If the lettering is adhesive backed vinyl just hit it with hot air from a hair dryer and it will lift off cleanly in nearly every case. The 1/4" stuff in particular can make a fair folding table top is judiciously slit from alternating sides to create an accordion fold. A tape reinforcement...

    3M Dual Lock—Q's & A's and Tests for Canoe Uses

    I've used the "super adhesive back" hook and loop from McMaster-Carr with the acrylic adhesive and can attest that it will peel the paint off a surface before the adhesive fails. It bonds to vinyl coated fabrics like dry bags etc and stays put in sub zero weather. McMaster-Carr has a lot of hook...

    Barrier Islands & paddle-in camping

    Heck, working at a scout camp we still get to paddle aluminum regularly. Until a bit over three years ago when we downsized and moved from Upstate New York to North Carolina I had a heavy duty Grumman with the shoe keel, rowing rig, partial sailing rig, 1.5 HP Johnson motor etc. That canoe got...
