I should've specified, these seals are what you'd expect to use in a hydraulic piston, where the shaft moves back and forth. You select your seal based on the pressure of the piston and the viscosity of the liquid inside.

In your case, with a rotating shaft, the wear will be much less so you can get away with just about any of the seals.

Google cup seals, and you'll find they have ratings of pressure and expected lifetime based on whether they're applied in pistons or on rotating shafts.

The sealability of your chosen seal is simply to give an idea of the type of pressure it can withstand, obviously you're not meant to simply accept that its going to leak, but I agree the wording on the image is a bit misleading.

>>2809706

They are not completely watertight tho. They allow a small amount t of water to pass and that is then drained and pumped out of the hull.

Source: any sailing license book that explains you how that shall be regulated to consider the water passage acceptable.

>>2809693
Use two rear main seals from a Honda engine, one inside one outside

Surface ground to an ra16 or better finish and ideally mirror polished

Balance that shaft and avoid runout

>>2809693
Can´t you just use a "simmer ring" or something similar? A "radial shaft seal"?
The german wiki on these is relatively extensive:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellendichtring
The english one is a bit shorter:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_shaft_seal

These kinda things are standard for machines used in food processing and similar areas. I might have misunderstood you though, since I´m ESL.

you must be a millennial if you're not sentimental about hi-flow toilets.

I do not understand what the concrete is sticking too. The glazing process specifically smooths toilets out to stop things from catching/sticking.

Hi anon, I’m you except i make more money in solar than I could in an industrial setting with out taking a paycut,starting at the bottom and working my way up. If you’ve got time and you really want to I’d recommend a community college with tech programs to get into automation and PLCs.
The will have the everything for hands on laerning and you’ll get a neat cert. unfortunately the other anon was right, electricians are essentially knuckle draggers and solar trash is no exception. I’ve been learning electronics for fun but theres a HUGE gap between electrical theory for wireniggers and EE
>read books
>watch vids
>start as a bottom

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Who died for our sins and rose from the dead to Give us eternal life. If believe in Jesus Christ and ask Him to save you. He will give the free gift of eternal life. God Loves us!!

99.99% of the time plc "programming" is you reuploading the routine the actual fucking programmer made. They're not gonna let some wire monkey code anything in their bajillion dollar factory. That leaves electrical. Industrial electrical isn't special or different. Electricity is electricity. You'll be fine if you're already qualified. I'm sure you can wire up some buttons and sensors.

>>2809576
>Has anyone here built a board to practice industrial electrical skills like motor control, fault finding, PLC programming etc?
Way, way, WAY too expensive to buy your own parts for such a "practice board," as you call it.
In all my time as an electrician, I've never once had to program a PLC. Wire one, yes. Program, no.
I've had to install and configure a lot of motors and starters and VFDs, run tons of conduit and pull THHN through it, and hook up a lot of special machines.
I'm gonna be honest with you: YouTube is your friend. Watch videos on these subjects. What you get from those will depend on how closely you pay attention and how seriously you take it.

>>2809576
>Industrial electrical practice board
I'm sure they have, but you won't find that here, as this is /diy/ we don't actually do anything ourselves we just ask other people how to do it.

>>2809564
I did this to a table by leaving a french press on it. I got it out by placing a towel over the area and going over it carefully with an iron. I slowly ramped up the heat and how long I'd linger on one spot until I started to see results, only took 10-15 minutes to get all of it out!

Just steamer the rest of it lol

>How much does it cost to get color matched automotive paint? Everything I see online is nuts price wise, would getting it locally be any less, I only need like a pint.
Yes, automotive paint is expensive, and yes, getting a custom color match makes it more expensive.

>>2809504
Every automotive supply shop carry hundreds of paint codes. They're like $10 an aerosol can.
Wire wheel what you can reach, wire brush what you can't wheel, prime and paint. Ya'll dorks spend way too much time over-thinking ez stuff

>>2809515
Should I just get a spray can of color match and drain the propellant and put it in my HVLP gun then?

>>2809519
Just use the can, you have to sand and clearcoat anyway, it's not worth fucking around and blowing paint everywhere trying to depressurize it.

>>2809926
did you check the skin color of the driver

>>2809240
you mix up alot of stuff here and the others as well.
1 stage 2 stage is the way of applying it, 1K vs 2K is the chemistry behind it.

now how do cars get painted in the factory 2000-2020 they get a thick filler coat which hides imperfections in the steel and can be sanded really well. it also provides corosion protection against stone chips and scratches beause its so thick.
chemistry is water based 1K acrylic urethane (actually2K but heat activated) it needs to get oven baked.

you dont need this because your car is already painted and another coat of filler would make the whole paintjob to thick which causes other problems. i recomend scuffing the whole car with P800 and wiping it with silicone remover.

after imperfections are sanded from the filler it gets a "thin" water based acrilic color coat this is just for optics and provides no protection, this way you can save money on the more expensive colorfull paints. this coat gets lightly dried in a low temp oven and goes directly to the clear coat line.

clear coat is what actually makes car paint so strong its Solvent borne 2K Acrylic Urethane paint. Acrlic paint with Isocyanate hardener. once it hardens it resists even solvents it gets applied pretty thick and also contains many aditives like UV stabilizers. A car only painted in primer/filler would flake off after a few years in the sun.

t work in this industry

>>2810059
i say 2020 because noways there are trying to replace the filler with a pre coat which gets painted over while wet which saves you a huge oven and all the ppl sanding the primer.

nothing of this can be used for ops home project but i hope i didn't cause more confusion.


if i had to paint my car i would make sure to use a 2K paint which is recommended for cars.
2K tile paint or interior whatever could work but probably has not enough UV stabilizers, or gets to hard or to soft.

1K is trash for a car:
Solvent borne alkyd enamel will take months to dry but after a year or so it would become as scratch and solvent resistant as 2K
Water based acrylic will dry fast but never get really thought and is hard to get a even finish since it doesn't flow very well.

single stage will be less work 2 stage could look better if done correctly (spraying clear by hand is the supreme discipline for painters)
with a good manufacture both will probably last good.
UV sensitive pigments like red will probably fade faster without a thick clear coat on it. UV protection in the paint as opposed to completely covering it

>>2810059
> needs to get oven baked.
Can just use a heat gun on small areas?
I think I’ve seen other’s struggling with powder coating—I heard that’s the best finish though.

>>2810189
for repairs a infrared heater is used a heat gun would prob cause an uneven finish because of the air.

for full repairs a special low temp paint is used which dries at room temp or something like 80c a OEM body oven with its 160°C would melt all interior of a finished car.

but this is a whole other science just look how many different clear coats standox sells and how many hardeners and additives. which can be combined differently for different temperatures climates humidity.
a repair shop in Florida will need different additives than one in Alaska even if they have booths.

>>2809175
One thing I don't get about british homes is the lack of mixer taps in bathrooms and kitchens. Simply third-world tier. That's the first thing I'd do. Then rip off and replace the filthy carpets.

Also can't stand counting homes with bedrooms rather than sq meters or feet. What a god damn scam is that?

>>2809301
because there are 10x10 bedrooms and 14x14 bedrooms

>>2809270
Pneumatic tools for home repair or much of anything beyond automotive work are mostly a waste of time unless you already own them (I do in abundance). Corded hand tools can be a great deal bought used so I do and score old pre-buyout Milwaukee etc for a song.

Every homeowner should own a 6" corded angle grinder. I haven't used my hack saws in years. 6" angle grinders take 6" thin kerf cutting discs (wear face shield and gloves) which is the main reason to choose that size, and also run 4-1/2" flap discs which are Allah's gift to mower sharpening.

I would get at least one cordless drill because they're insanely handy and beat dragging cord for a couple of holes. Trivial cost is trivial and convenience worth paying for. Drills of course drive screws.

I have a nice gasser Shindaiwa weed eater I never use because cordless are now good enough that landscapers often use them. Cordless are becoming disturbingly effective. I don't have a dog in the fight since my goal is owning all the tools in the universe.

Cordless chain saws are not for felling and firewood cutting but when a shoulder replacement put me out of the pull start game I went cordless and with some patience felled more and thicker trees than most homeowners normally do. Corded saws work but dragging cord in that use case is a bitch. Either way no more carb cleanings (I'm good at that) alone is worth owning at least one for quick small jobs.

BTW it pays to look up since many homeowners let trees overgrow then get assraped paying arborist bills. If it can fall on my house, vehicles or structures it gets removed.

>>2809351
>cordless are now good enough that landscapers often use them
they are forced to use them in some states.

>>2809301
Lack of mixer taps in old houses is because they didn't want to risk infecting the potable water supply with shit like legionnaires disease if the water in the attic holding tank somehow mixed with the mains supply
>>2809175
Make damn sure the roof is in decent shape, if it needs major repair remember you can only "repair" your section, if an issue that impacts you stems from a neighbour either side of you then you could be shit out if luck remedying the situation

>>2809459
Just going to add some considerations for this anon;
An electricity source would be wise, though for a few months you can do with charging your lifeline phone in a car or local business.
The two most important comforts in life are bathing and sleeping.

If you get a decent quality single mattress cot and some washing solution (tank fed, with a drain in the bottom of the shed and some drainpipe letting water run to a downward slope away from the structure might work, but get a chunky plug for the drain when you're finished to stop cold/heat seeping in).

Food stores can be kept in sterilite bins or similar, keep your food in packaging for a second layer.

I would go with sardines/tuna, canned veg and beans, powdered milk, and bread kept in a double bag (keep your first bag and wrap the bread swice twisting and then tying off both bags).

Buy books at the local second hand shops, or download a bunch of media and use some of your early savings to purchase a good quality battery box. I would look at the car starter types they sell in hardware stores.

If you make friendly with a local business owner and explain yourself after a few weeks they'll probably be fine with you charging it up at their shop for consistent business.

Get a large storage bin to keep spare blankets and a pillow, even if temps are average most of the year sometimes abnormal weather happens and sometimes you get sick and you need clean bedding to get back to sleep.

AC would be nigh impossible if I'm imagining the worst conditions but you could get a powerful fan at a local big box store.

>>2810577
General layout for this because I am (very) autistic.

>>2810589
I forgot about toilet, I'd say bucket to start with green bags, and then a portable camp toilet. keep the lid for the bucket and get a good sealing portable toilet when you do.

>>2809198
Borrow some screws from your aunt to anchor it to the ground.

>>2810577
To add to this, OP could get a solar generator to charge his phone. They're only like $50 on Amazon

>>2809541
Nevermind I fixed the touch screen issue which was user interface issue on my side.
Thanks again anon for that detailed step by step guide.

>>2809545
It just means outgoing/switched wires, to the load. A light switch also gets a live wire (phase, from breaker) and load wire (to lamp). In OPs case there is live + neutral on both sides.

>>2809558
I see. In my language there is no different term for the switched wire.

>>2809545
In electrical systems, you have sources that provide power and loads that consume it. They call them loads because they add a load to the system, and if you add too many, the system becomes overloaded.

The "load" wires are the wires connected to the load.

>>2809605
Shouldn't you be asking this on a message board/forum that speaks in your language then?

Might be more of an /out/ thing since they have /hgm/ but I like the spirit of the thread. I'm growing mini sweet peppers, strawberries, and thyme indoors. The thyme was leftovers from one of those hippie living herbs things you get at the supermarket, kek. Also a little lemon tree that seems to have stalled out on its growth, but hopefully it picks up again.

Just buy some goats. Who cut the grass before Americans?

they make drains with popups that have a smaller diameter and will screw straight into a standard drain, probably your best bet
otherwise you're gonna need to use a saw to cut out a small section so you can bend the rest of the drain and pull it out. which is completely doable but requires basic competence
i would use a hackzall, pliers, tedium. maybe a hammer and flathead
t. plumber thats done that a bunch

you can usually identify them because they have this seperate thread system to screw on to fit the actual drain. but if you don't use the brass part it threads into an already installed drain

>>2809074
