Diggerg Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Well reasonably quiet today so got the bottom and doors primed. First time spraying anything with a hvlp gun. I'm quite pleased with the finish so far. Pics tomorrow. Edited July 13, 2019 by Diggerg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggerg Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Only thing is I'm on leave this week. I managed to squeeze a pass from the missus to finish the paint Sunday so the guys at work can move it. Have to go a whole week before I can start assembling it. ☹️☹️☹️ Edited July 22, 2019 by Diggerg Sp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggerg Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Bollocks. Went to run the pid controller and it's knackered. Power in and powers up, relay clicks but no voltage from relay output. In contact with inkbird so hopefully sorted soon. Will have to run without it this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
