You should consider retirement.

My trial run retirement will be coming to an end soon. I'm so excited to go back to work.

 

[Leadeye]

Work is crazy, factory air make up units typically only have 40 degrees of rise or less. It's hard to function well when your incoming air is in the 40s, I've seen salamanders everywhere.

I had a trial retirement but went back to work, today standing in a torrent of ice cold air from a downdraft booth I remembered that.

I heard that a lot last two days. Stepping through an air curtain today was like walking into a refrigerator. At 0630 the air just about took my breath, I cancelled the test until we could jury rig something to bring the temperature up. Materials just don't react below 40.

Those units are never sized properly. Ask me how I know.

Be very careful. This retirement thing is not what you all think it is...

Hi CM

How do you know?

50 plus years of dealing with marginally sized equipment. Budgets are never used properly when they build these facility's.

We shut off the makeup air and partially closed off one end of the tunnel, that drew air down from the ovens which allowed us to complete the work. I was working with two component clear coats for wood parts, sort of like Dupont Imron for furniture.

You understand this perfectly, if more people did I would probably still be retired.

We deal with a lot more of this stuff than folks realize. They post the Temp range for a reason.

 

[Leadeye]

This Sunday night is what has me concerned, really cold surface and rain at 32. We're stuck if we get much ice.
