Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

Well...I agonized over what happened all last night...still dont know what I did wrong

I thought I may have used the wrong hardner with the highbuild..but the highbuild and hardner were both new and unused..I mixed up the 1st batch and sprayed it..while waiting for it to flash I mixed another batch..this is where I thought I went wrong.. so I poured the remaining hardner is a measuring cup.. the mix uses 4oz in my cup..there was exactly 8oz gone from the 32oz can.. so that's not what happened... so I'm back to i dont know..
But I did try some sanding.. luckily (I hope) ,it sanded well and smoothed out nicely..
maybe ,hoping, praying it's not as bad as it looks
I'm gonna take it down with 220g, and (fingers crossed) I'm gonna do 1 more coat of high build and see what happens..
Now...sand sand sand..

On the brighter side, I got a call today saying my rear bumper was ready..
I dropped it off at the powder coater on Tues...it was ready this morn..
Sandblast-primer-powdercoat.
Had it done in flat silver.. turned out awesome..they did a great job..
I tried to leave all the old farmer welds on it.. the beauty marks from yrs of use/abuse ,are all still there
The stories this ol bumper could tell..
Gonna leave it wrapped til I get ready to mount it..
