Next case - Odd Philco 42-720 Tropic
#66

Hey, Jeremy! Great to see you here! Icon_thumbup

I give up. I can't do this in cold weather. Period, end of story. I can't go spraying fibers all over the basement, or upstairs.

Within 2 minutes of being out in the house garage, the acrylic paint (which should have remained wet for several minutes) began to act as if it were completely dry...because of the 34 degree temperature.

I've wasted enough time on this D**n thing. Time to move on to something else.
