Should I lightly sand or micro mesh it in between layers?
Micromesh it with 8,000 or like 320........ Just light....to remove any hairs or dust that lands on it during the drying process....... The Minwax I'm applying with a eye glass towel..... You know the micro eyeglass type

RC cars are much less than helicopter luckily at least. I just have a cheap helicopter. I prefer the cars. You can buy a new helicopter loaded for $35,000. It is stupid. That is not a "kids" toy though. That is an adult toy. For one thing it is very dangerous if mishandled. A airplane can be even more. They have just radios that are 20 Grand. How old was your kid when you got him that? Gas or Nitro helicopters are not really for a kid under 13. Too dangerous. Very lucky he did not get hurt with that.

The Primo is honestly at the level of the Java or Osiris now. If you care to believe that. I mean now conservatively I have $1,600 into it. It is not custom though of course. Well, come to think of it, It kind of is now. It is not custom made to my hand or anything. It is still a production Mod. Although the amount I put into it it kind of is custom. In the sense that it is no longer factory stock.

I wish I could get something really special like you have and just buy it off someone. I cannot do those private FB and stuff.

VA is not just better than Asmodus. It is a different level of quality to begin with. Asmodus is like the entry into Stabwood. they are good though. the Thor II is a fine Mod IMO.

I do not know how you find all this stuff :)

I can’t wait to get the one I ordered. I pretty much know I’ll probably never get a custom mod and I’m actually fine with that. I love the ones I have and their being Chinese mass produced ones doesn’t bother me in the least.

They’re unique and beautiful to me and that’s all that matters. I could save the money I spent on a few stabwoods but like Gorgon I want what I want now and don’t need or even feel strongly that a need to have a custom made one.

Of course when I was working and bringing in close to six figures I’d be getting some made. But my situation is different now and as I said I’m fine with it and I’m really thrilled with the ones I’ve bought. So far lol!!

I hope that makes sense. I’m rambling a bit. Took my meds and I’m sleepy. I need a nap lol!

Sara, your Vicious Ant is not Chinese!
Manny, the Java on the quartz rocks is like a Chameleon. It is hard to beat that.
Do not put Poly over wax ever! Strip the wax first. You both know Minwax is the cheapest Poly? Dupont Lucite at an automotive store is the best. Big difference in price. 2OZ can Minwax $3.00. 2OZ can Lucite $45! You get what you pay for.
Yeah this is the best thread. I almost derailed it a few times though....My bad. Sorry. At least it fell back on topic.
I have a horrible headache. Now I hear a baby bunny is dying in the barn. Dammit.
VA is a fine Mod. Closer to a custom than Asmodus/Ultroner. I actually prefer the size of the 21700 but do not care for the polished TI. A guy had the 26650 here so that is how I know. How he got it I am not sure. Very poor Man. I was like shit my pants when I saw him with that of all things. I thought I was the only one in 100 miles that had this stuff. I guess that is kind of prejudice though. Microfiber cloth is all I would wipe these with indeed. 3M makes the very best Eyeglasses one. It is only like $7. My Great Grandson is downstairs hoping up my RC Army truck because it is raining. That truck should be a force to be reckoned with if only I could compete. He would but nowhere around here. There are many tracks and courses in the suburbs though. This is not suburbs, agricultural property. Well shit I have to go lie down. Try to be back later.

No, it definitely got darker and finer definition. That is if the photo parameters are identical. Looks way better than my stuff and it is 'just' a Kodama.

Manny, you get a Bulk RTA for your SL yet? Great fit and a pretty tasty tank with the right build. The threads to get your barrel on is tricky though and they could have done a better job on the top cap, just make sure you don't screw it on too tight.

Never even heard of the Hussar, MTL? Googled it but didn't find any US sellers for an original but a lot of clones. Is it the X?

I like the Zeus X but so far the Bulk is putting out better flavor.

The Hussar Project X is made in Poland....... You have to go on a wait list on The Hussar Facebook group and they will inform you when a new pre-order list pops up.....

Then you pay the $300.00 US and wait a month or two until it arrives.....

Yeah that's the Zeus X....

Manny, why do you call me Cee Jay LOL? Mt name is Tahi Cohanen.
You are straight legit use your real name. I bet those pimps did not HAHA. The legal description is not "pimp". It is Sexual trades facilitator. Trades not as in "trading" but as in Tradesman. What a trade. There I go again.

Okay, so Folomov A4 is a superb charger. Only drawback is you must set the MAH each and every time. No big deal. Just be careful because it goes up to 8 Amps=explosion. Come to think of it I do not know why they put Lipo's in Mods. That is very dangerous quite frankly. Lipo's are supposed to be charged in a fireproof bag/case. They do not vent and hiss like LI-Ion. They burst into flames. Thus igniting anything in it's path. How homes burn down. Sure you all know this but gamble on it anyways :) The only real issue with them is if you try to charge a completely depleted cell. Which is why Escribe recovery charging is extra dangerous. If you use it often, at your own risk but should not be an issue. It is just if you let it sit 6 months then try to charge. Kaboom! I wonder if they log me on that word!

Oh BTW, Manny WTF is Mine Kampf? Is that some Hitler shit? I do not want to Google it LOL.

You told us here they called you Cee Jay...... Ha

Yeah I charge all my Lipos in a bag...... Mine Kampf is a book written by Adolf Hitler..... My fight or also known as My War......

It describes his hate for the Jews..... You know Hitler was a soldier during WWI and after Germany lost they worked for the French and collected coal while the French and the Jews became richer and treaded the Germans like animals including Hitler's father and mother .....

Well Hitler wrote this book explaining white power supremacy to eliminate all these people in the world who are from a secondary blood level....... Waste as he called it...... Well the book is well loved by today's neonazis and the KKK.......

They must read this book to understand the meaning of white race and supreme power.....

Well the government doesn't want anyone reading this book...... Which to a weak mind it can and will change that person into a possible terrorist........

It's similar to the books the Muslim read about Mohammed being a warrior and winning respect and the way if thinking (An attack against one Muslim is an attack on all Muslims) Mohammed got his power in the most horrific way of fighting and creating terror.

This is my thermal bag and my Lipo charger..... I must have thousands of dollars in lipo mods..... I have one that was $800.00 custom made and yes it can do 800 watts plus without any problems....

The Batman mod is a NLPWM..... 6s Lipo......22.2 Volts....... And you need big tanks that can hold 4mm to 5mm size coils 10 wraps ohming at 1.5 ohms...... You would need 12 to 16 volts to fire a coil that size.......

Look at the coils those are 4.5mm and ohm out at 1.6 ohms the pair.....

Of course you do it right. charging Liipo USB is stupid IMO. I must have really lost my mind already if I said they call me Cee Jay. Never been called that except for you LOL.

Yes that is it, uneducated feeble minds. :By uneducated I do not mean college. Just good upbringing. The wrong kind of people read shit like that they get empowered to go nuts. I was Muslim. I did not like it. Long before any bad shit happened. I became a Christian. The exact reason I did not like it is that Mohammad shit. I knew that could be misinterpreted and so it was. Even the old Testament is violent. It all depends on how you read into it. A well rounded person will not embrace it that way. I just knew that had to be Hitler. You know he killed plenty of Germans too? What a dick. To say the least. I do not subscribe to any hatred. I judge an individual, not a group. Except certain groups based on hate or fear. Certainly not ordinary folks. Be them Gay, Jewish, Black, Overweight or whatever. Does not matter to me. That is their own business not mine. See the leaders of these groups pray upon fear of the feeble mindset. Maybe someone did not even finish high school but they had a good upbringing. Their parents and those that nurtured them. Then they are probably a good person. People that blame their poverty and stuff on others is bullshit. You choose your own destiny. At least in any established country. I will say many European Countries tend to be more civil than the US.Anyways all I am saying is I personally despise hatred of others.

Those look like big coils. You have a hobby lipo charger. Way to do it.
I am even afraid to use a Lipo in the Rc truck! They just scare me. the real thing is you need to sit and watch them. I do not so not a god idea for me. Although I am guilty of often leaving when LI-Ions are charging but those do not explode like Lipo's do. They fail in a much more well natured manner if that can be said of them.

Check this small coil is a 3.5mm (6) wrap 3 cores.....

My, what big coils you have LOL! The big ones are huge. Or maybe they just look that way to me? Those are Claptons?
I wish I could build something like that. You do very good. I mean those are really well made.
The Vgod was an excellent recommendation. Best tank I ever had. It is almost equal to an RTA. I am guessing the second coil is going to last longer than the first one. We'll see.

I'm glad you like it...... It's an amazing tank... To some is expensive but worth it......

I use to build coils and then gave up, the time and wire simply a pain in the ass ... I pay a guy here on Vaping Underground (VAPEROXX) retired Marine like $40-$50 bucks and he makes me (20) sets.... They last like (6) months a pair....

Yeah you’re right Manny. I was referring to the blue Minikin V2 that I used a hardwood floor polisher on.

The EOS II I used Renaissance polish on.

Question about the renaissance polish - should I use several layers with light “sanding” in between layers? I’ve only put 3 hardwood polish on the Minikin V2 so far.

Was planning to do several more from Manny’s recommendation.

He was something Technical? Semper Fidelis. He builds those "exacting". Sara, just sand a drop. I think that is water based wax? You will take it right off if you sand much if that is the case. Why I prefer Butchers You would be sanding off wood before the wax then.

You know what? See, just Semper Fi is something a jerk could misinterpret. It can be used by the Marines....or the Mob just as well!
That is why I judge an individual, not a group. Unless as I said it is a "hate" group.

The renissance polish before applying a new coat.....the mod should be whipped with alcohol to remove all grease and dirt and finger prints first..... The more coats the better too.......

This Top Hat has only seen Renaissance wax maybe (10+) coats and she just shines.....

Yeah he (VAPEROXX) was a technician MOS wise ..... He's good at building and fixing...... And making coils brings him some cash to mess around......

For Fidola13 (Sara) any water base doesn't require much sanding and if you miss a section it really doesn't matter the next coat will fuse with the last coat...... So with water base you keep going with coats until you see that instead of (3) hours to dry it takes (24) hours to dry, you can go easy (20) coats.

Sara you will see how every coat reacts different from the other....... Once you are finished with the last one (coat) take the highest micromesh you have 10,000 or 12,000 and rub her down (like a massage) and that what makes her glow.....

Remember that after (20) coats even after (24) hours it might still be wet, this means you have reached the limit of coats, simply wipe her with a lint free towel and micromesh her....... The more coats the longer it takes (time) to dry.......

Have to throw a picture in of my mirror mod.....

The Top Hat needs for nothing LOL! I want mine 100% stock in case I ever cash that cow in.

Man, you should see my RC Army truck. Amazing what it can go over. Things 5x it's height. The bunny died. I never had met him. Not every litter survives in it's entirety. We have an agreement with ST. Francis pet funeral home. I have statues of ST. Frances all over. Very old like 1700's Roman Catholic-the savior of all animals. Just a belief of course but it is what guides us to be better people.

Well, Manny you will actually hate being retired. Not only am I long since retired I am crippled. I wish I had something to do. Playing with kids toy's now. Oh well plenty of adults do RC though. That is a very nice plane and boat. I would be afraid to crash something that expensive. The Army truck will take anything I can give it. It is highly doubtful it breaks just from impact now. I tell you, you will be retired before you know it and like most retirees I bet you hate it. Unless you play Golf or something. It is funny people that don't want to work and claim from the state. Those that work a full career, especially same job many years usually miss their job. I can attest to this. Even worse some people just up and die a year after they retire because nothing to do. I hate nothing to do. Some prefer to sit on their fat ass but those of us that worked many years usually find it to be a setback. I do not mean financially. It is not really your "golden" years. Actually, now being crippled it is easier not to do anything. When I was able, after 2 years I wanted my job back. They would not give it back though. They hired some young Grad they could pay 1/10th. what I made and he was happy as shit. Go figure.

You have some very nice furnishings as well Manny. The Java looks Elite as usual!
I find a lot of spots....... Today the house I Inspected was set up by a company..... Real estate brokers hire a company that furnished the home...... Only not to show it empty.....

So they are not private stuff from people selling the house ..... When they sell the joint, the company comes and pack their stuff and set it up somewhere else......

This offers places to photograph my mods.........

I know. That is called "staging". I thought that was all yours. You have nice stuff too though. I have been vaping the Thor II the last few days.

You want to do something funny. If you have access to a home theater with multiple screens. Put FOX on one and CNN on the other at slightly different audio volumes. I am downstairs doing it right now. It is hilarious. Of course I skip the commercials too. There are computers in this room.

Well, Manny you will actually hate being retired. Not only am I long since retired I am crippled. I wish I had something to do. Playing with kids toy's now. Oh well plenty of adults do RC though. That is a very nice plane and boat. I would be afraid to crash something that expensive. The Army truck will take anything I can give it. It is highly doubtful it breaks just from impact now. I tell you, you will be retired before you know it and like most retirees I bet you hate it. Unless you play Golf or something. It is funny people that don't want to work and claim from the state. Those that work a full career, especially same job many years usually miss their job. I can attest to this. Even worse some people just up and die a year after they retire because nothing to do. I hate nothing to do. Some prefer to sit on their fat ass but those of us that worked many years usually find it to be a setback. I do not mean financially. It is not really your "golden" years. Actually, now being crippled it is easier not to do anything. When I was able, after 2 years I wanted my job back. They would not give it back though. They hired some young Grad they could pay 1/10th. what I made and he was happy as shit. Go figure.
Don't consider yourself crippled....... Crippled is that smart intelligent Stephen Hawking gentleman who used his mouth to move that stick on his wheel chair....

Imagine having the intelligence and all you can do is move a stick with your mouth ? Did he feel crippled ?

There is a 60 4k led Sony " TV in the living room never used..... I'm my office I have a 32" Led mounted on the wall to watch Fox news and Weather Channel during my report completion until 22:00 hrs .....

I leave home at 7:00am and get back before 1:00pm then I sit in my office until 22:00 hrs typing a report and looking up code discrepancies before crashing and getting up at 5:30 am......

I do this sometimes (2) months straight without a day off ...... I need an easier life.......ha

Trust me after 2 years of retirement you will want it back. Maybe not you but most people.
I was using "crippled" in a factual sense. Neither myself or the late DR. Hawking "feel"/"felt" crippled. I certainly was not trying to garner pity. I just meant in the simplest sense my body fails to operate properly. However I still quite enjoy life. As did The good Doctor. TBH though on a sheer level of mechanics I get your point. He was much worse off than I. Yet it stopped him from almost nothing. Life is really the mind, the body and limbs are but tools. He had said that. I fully agree. I kind of figured you for CNN LOL. They are honestly worse. They cannot admit one good thing he does.
Quite frankly breaking up the ATT Monopoly would be a gesture in kind to the American people.

That's correct once (mentally) you consider yourself as crippled, you really develop into one......

Wake up eat healthy and do something, just leave the house, even to go four Wheeling with your wheelchair around the property..... Go out enjoy the sunshine and fresh air......

I do Bro. I do not feel I am crippled. I just meant from a mechanical standpoint. My mind is not crippled. Although they say this shit will eat your mind eventually but it is not progressing in me. Even though I got sick there are still good genes in place. Probably what is keeping me strong(mentally).

That is interesting you mentioned that because my chair is 4WD all terrain. Just do not want to tip in the middle of nowhere but I always have a radio transceiver on me. Cell phones do not work here. Even though I make a lot of money having them put cell towers on my property. Their are high tension wires already, so why not? I do not believe that phenomena anyways. The electromagnetism is not strong enough on the ground to cause cancer. Or it would not be allowed by the FCC and NEC. Plus no cows died with no explanation. A lot of people want to blame things on everyone but themselves. They will find any explanation but their own self. Usually people that have good reason to be sorry but it is their own doing. You have to make your own way. You get a Welfare check then just deal with their situation. Everyone can achieve. I do not buy that BS someone else is keeping them down. Vets and first responders often a different story. They did work. Some people were just not cut out for that and got messed up. I am willing to help them and always do. Someone broke with 8 kids and a Gucci bag is their own doing.

Huge difference in Natakari but I feel the Golden one is much nicer. Not quite as nice as the Java though.

Yeah I see now why they charge you $200 to $500 more for a beautiful shiny and protected Stabwood mod..... Man a lot of sanding, polishing and spraying....
