- When painting the inside, forced ventilation is key. Ventilate the hell out of the bus once it is no longer tacky (bugs won’t stick to it).
- It will still take a lot longer than paint can indicates to dry.
- Let it dry properly. No matter how long it ends up taking.
Bus smoke! Don’t breathe this!
Seriously. Wear a mask. That thick white powder is zinc oxide. You know, the stuff that makes welders sick? While I was smart enough to wear the mask for the bulk of today’s experimental scrubbing in a dry area, I failed to do so in a patch at the back door. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to make me feel like crap. It isn’t just for welders to keep in mind.
Rain.
So. Much. Rain.
I wonder how well a bus converts to an ark… 😛
Bus project is still a go, funding not so much. Go go gadget job hunt.
Original angry rant removed. I was fed some extremely bad information by an instructor for the company I had original selected and was turned away from. Things were cleared up soon after with TDPS and the awesome instructors I ended up going with.
My truck has been kidnapped by the folks for getting my youngest brother to college for another couple weeks. Bleh.
