The thing about the moisture is that a leak may have already fully/partially saturated any insulation on the roof. Even if you see no ponding, it will still be getting through the tar and felt and sitting on the slab like a wet sponge. And it will remain wet even when there is no indication of...

I regret finding this post so late, this one is right up my alley. So as it has already been mentioned, that is indeed spalling, in this case it was definitely caused by the rusting rebar. The rebar expands as it corrodes which places the concrete in tension (which we all know concrete is...

Its been a while since ive been in the space, like 6 months, but last time i left it this is what t looked like.As you can see we have replaced the folding window with a 3 pane slider, continued the desk around 1 wall, added a small rack and computer, a television with cable, and are actually...

So its flat hardware...and from a rigging company...How about an adjustable top hanging iron?

No a 3 phase wouldn't have the same set up. Because it uses 3 coils which are 120 degrees apart (one for each phase) the motor needs a motor starter. The Starter tuns on the 3 phases in a cascade so that as the sine curve is starting to drop on Phase one, Phase 2's curve is picking it up, and...

The Cap in is series with a starter winding (fans have 2 equal windings), the cap applies a phase shift to help start the motor with the starter winding. once up to speed the 2nd winding takes over and the starter operates as an auxiliary winding. When you reverse the fan direction, the 2nd...

The capacitor corrects for power factor, without digging out a book, it has to do with the way motors cause inductive loads that arent metered well. The utility requires a power factor of .98 or they charge you a premium for the "phantom" power the meter didn't see.Ill be really surprised if...

FWIW, i have been working with 4-12pack VX-2400 Dimmers since late 2006 and havent had any problems at all. they were cleaned for the first time about a month ago. We have dropped a few phases before and what was on the working phase kept on going no problem, we did shut off the disconnect when...

I just saw your question and thought of a tool balancer immediately.Tool Positioner, Retractors, Balancers, Tool BalancerThis is just an example i found. Put this device in place of a pick line with the proper attachment to the cable. There may not be enough travel in it and i would bet they...

Yeah i saw the RS 232 but am not ready to take that on myself, i have projectornet 3 installed but infocus said that the dp8000 is not supported. Also, C300 and DP8000 are not available in projectornet 3. ill check the older versions, thanks

So i just got off the phone with InFocus (owners of what was proxima) and they said that for this projector control is through primarily RS-232, and lan. The lan, im told, was for a very basic software that didn't do much, and that InFocus doesn't have it. All i really want to do is turn on our...

Yes, but i wasn't referring to the whole system, i was thinking just the topcoat would serve him fine, and the particleboard substrate would be plenty strong.

Have you looked at any Dryvit products yet? Ive never used them but it dries hard like stucco and is used on building exteriors. I imagine it would hold up well in your application.

"This concentrated casein scene paint is formulated..."Right from Rosco's website referring to the Iddings Deep Colors paint.Rosco US : Scenic : Iddings Deep ColorsThe Rosco Off-Broadway paints are Vinyl Acrylic. Rosco states that adding more than 2 parts water to either may reduce...

Based on the clue from kelite's post. would the difference be the solvent in the paint? making it able to be cut or, extended if you will, with water?
