re: "Aren't mineral spirits flammable?" Yes, but so is wood, and you've probably lived inside a wood-framed house or apartment (actually, I'm surprised some nanny-state do-gooder hasn't gone off abou

Too lazy to look at the specs myself, I let Google do the lifting. Found this: http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/lincoln-welders-there-difference-79691.html Sounds like they're both 230V (most anything

FWIW, I've been running a long-term, informal 'experiment' with my lawnmower gas can. I have a small lawn and a 2-gal can; the same gas can sit in the can for a year or more. The inside of the can ap

Probably not. My dad has a large IR 2-stage; probably a 'real' 7HP or greater on I believe (at least) a 60-gal tank (maybe 80). It struggles to keep up with his blast cabinet--the compressor is off f
