Ed,

 

My blast booth & paint booth does not know if a model is mine or someone
else's. The process is all the same.  If I think I am going to be doing
something frequently of course I try and do it WELL, but more importantly
get set up to get the best results possible. Work smart not hard. My friend
Gus gets amazing results painting in a  booth that is truly the size of a
shoe box. With size 13 feet the boxes for MY shoes are actually BIGGER. He
has to drag his booth out of a closet and hook it up. NO! I can't work like
that. It would be just way too annoying for me. Plus since I do so much S &
O work a shoe box would not do.

 

My 2) 110v compressors were bought 1 at a time progressively larger and as a
replacement for a 60 year old compressor that just died completely. I
cheaped out and got the diaphragm compressor first when I should have gotten
the twin cylinder. That is the last time I did something like that.

 

When my compressor had problems I was going to just get an identical 110v
replacement. After surfing around a bit I found I could get a small 220v
unit with TWICE the output for $50.00 more. There was nothing else to
consider. Running the 220v line cost me about $100.00 in supplies but I did
it myself. It was all worth it to me.

 

The frequency of doing a job is a factor. But how much effort is involved in
getting set up for it should not exceed the job itself or you won't do it
often.

 

 

Thank You,
Bill Lane
