    Re: Tires turning brown

    My 2 cents... most of the problem is probably using strong acidic cleaners on the tires all of the time. Tires have carbon black added to them to help protect against the elements. When this is...

    Re: Converting an angle grinder into a polisher

    In both cases, very experienced people working with a rotary. For a new person, it is _VERY_ easy to burn through paint doing this. I highly recommend against it.

    Biodegradable Gloves

    Anyone have a good current source for biodegradable gloves? Last time I paid about $13 for 100 large and now they seem to be around $25 for 100. I was using the Showa brand, which were good.

    I'd recommend _not_ washing MF towels in hot water. While some will claim this water is not hot enough to affect MF, I would disagree. If nothing else, it will slowly deteriorate the towel. Modern...
