Quoted from MinnPin:

Yes, under the house. It sits about 1/2 or a little more under a three season porch and the rest under an office in the back. It is composed of foundation walls -- brick on three sides, the main garage door on the fourth side, and one little 2'6 door that enters into the basement.

This experience may pay off for you in the long run. By putting the smelly fumes in your garage, and finding out that their is a natural path for those fumes to enter your living quarters, you now know that you are also getting the dangerous odorless fumes that may occur in our garage as well. Don't run your car in that garage to warm it up in the winter until you find and eliminate the air infiltration problem. Once you get the air leak problem solved, your heat bills will likely go down as well.

Quoted from Coyote:

See attached. The deep red insert has tinted the white ink into 'pink'.

I don't think the insert is making the text pink... I see pink outside of the insert area as well. I'm with VID, it looks fine as it is.

Yes, and I have many hours of rubbing (sanding) to do on a NOS playfield that some nimrod clear coated with Varathane that yellowed... thanks VID for that observation

Looks like PPG is cracking down on selling there paint online...

" Welle Auto cannot sell PPG Paint online outside the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area in Minnesota" message when you go to the web site.

Quoted from pinheadpierre:

Hey Vid - what the heck do you think happened here? My white fields look totally wrinkled. This is createx opaque white under 2pac. What should I do to fix it? Sand flat and try again? Was the white too thick or did the surface not have enough tooth for it to bond properly? I am flummoxed and want to avoid repeating my mistake.

What brand/type of 2PAC did you use? It seems to have been quite "hot" to attack Createx like that.
