welcome to saving vessel seeker my name is Doug and we picked up a whole bunch
of epoxy paint from single source industrial coatings here in Tulsa and
they were gracious enough to loan us an airless sprayer to apply it with now the
sprayer needed some work it was all dirty and everything but we got all of
our a Murloc to epoxy on and it was just fantastic so we knew what it could do
and then carry the xfe goes through the whole day but then it died cleaning it
out so we're gonna take the whole thing apart it's not that big a deal buy the
manual turns out it needs parts he even comes with a tag right here that shows
you the model number of it you got to have back there's different x70 start by
taking off the bottom unit that normally comes off with a hammer now the manual
did not show an o-ring but I put it over in here because that stopped it from
leaking see that black coating down there now the lower end has a ball valve
in there you see the ball sitting on top of the hole that's all it is and that's
you can remove all that but we're not going to bother because it's easy to
clean like this and this is the part that the paint goes into from the pump
that plug right there goes is a bore hole that goes all the way back to the
pump which is here and you can see the glands here this is easy to come off a
pin and we'll take this color back split this in half and that's all three so
that piston can come out and now we just got the three nuts to take off to pull
the whole unit away
now there's really good documentation on the internet with this the extreme
lowers is what you want that's the document number if you want to just
google it this little paint remover then go to dinner and it's ready to come off
while we get back
started out in the bathroom ek they didn't do it we'll get some paint
remover on it that side VV remove the whole thing
it says to remove the packing simile after this but it seems like it's
holding up on it I'm gonna go ahead dick the packing assembly off
okay your reality is a little different than the manual because it's threaded in
there's the internal check valve there oh my gosh that is solid paint right
there
see the ball move back and forth through that hole there
now the upper packing plan you can see there's a set of seals in here as a
cover over it then you can see the seals I don't have them so I'm not going to
replace them but on the piston rod there's another set and this one has
some damage you can see this seal right here is extruded down a little bit that
may or may not be our issue but that would be the next thing to replace if
we're going to replace anything that we'd have to take this apart so that
unscrews from there and that's how you access that ball in there to it since I
don't have the packing seals I'm not going to mess with I'm just going to
clean the paint up and we'll see if that's a fix enough for
that's coming along when I need more paint remover so that's for tomorrow
we're using this is boring I couldn't find my other stuff it says it removes
epoxy right there paint an epoxy bond sup nice
so it spray them clean them and then spray them again and then clean them
again oiled the piston up and it goes in nice
and easy now if we had new seals they'd be down there this is the upper packing
gland we don't so we're hoping it's just paint that was messing us up well look
how pretty that is now read the assembly instructions and they actually tell you
that's threaded so I should have rented the whole thing before starting
tighten it till it bottoms out and it's bottomed out and back it off as
little as possible there it is so the way this thing works
it's got a check valve here and it's got another one in the piston so when the
piston comes up it draws pain into here and it forces paint out to the gun
like they're worried about it leaking cousin
and rhythms
all right the seals inside the toilet bowl
that's actually a pressure relief valve but it's so jammed with pain it had an
act like a pressure relief valve in years
wait
there there isn't one
where that's not a sign that a dunce is not building pressures I think we just
need seals in these things I think we know how to take apart and clean them
out now and the seal kits are on order so they'll be back in business and we'll
get our seal kits the other gun screwed up and so he rolled that first part up
there okay a seal kit came in for the big great go sprayer
he's even with the balls for this for the cheque mouths that's cool and I got
the the seals so key in oil as per instructions because this has seals in
there that are made out of leather so they get streak up that oil for
okay there it is that's the ball in the cage a little heat helps it come out
actually doesn't look bad we want to replace it anyway it's just not as
polished it's a new one paint remover on there and try and get that seat out if
it doesn't come out we'll just let it stay cuz it looks like it's in good
shape now the guys support said that you'd be
able to see damage to that seat down there if they had a you see where it was
ground and there's our new check ball that goes in there so and she goes
there it goes a little wiggle and push and all the way
the ball
your ring on top
a remover will get everything off of there so it's good and clean again with
the old on one side and the new ones I find them and put them on this side
okay
Oh almost don't drop this you score it you screwed it when it was close
there goes my that is too worked on there
all
a lot of extruded plastic there so I'm very confident that this is the failed
steel
solid ring and one two three four five these two
looked a little different they looked like maybe they're leather
b-45 istick leather plastic leather plastic and then that's solid top ring
we're going to clean this up a bit we're going it back together
actually calls who never sees on these threats
fresh oil
actually deflected to one of my seals up I don't like that
recheck I got those spaces right away
and the backwards lips face upward they open up word makes more sense it'll go
on easy the way they say they put it on now
and on slide this in
so you tighten this thing all the way in and then you back it off until you get
this flat lined up so this pin goes in like that
no brought it out for a test this morning and it did not work it pushed a
little bit of xylene but nothing else so I'm hoping I just got something stupidly
done inside you know acts like it doesn't Prime and then it starts working
great so we're gonna hope it's fixed switch over to pain that we found our
problem the suction pipe is jammed up so we're gonna have to make a new suction
pipe it's got something solid in there which kind of makes sense since the
xylem would go past but not the paint
see little gobs on the sights all the way down through there well that
certainly is better than this yeah oh this is jammed
Oh Oh the block that's white paint yeah that's not us
all right good that means it's been in there all this time look at that here's
our paint down here yeah we - it squeeze out of it
yep so we just filled in the last of the the pipe I think that may have been what
we've been finding all this time so maybe tomorrow is our lucky day with a
sprayer
bring the whole thing then split it in half yeah yeah I think we got it
mo just having a little bit overlap of a pattern before and then I'll come back
and go across it perpendicular to this wall
okay here's the results it's all done exterior of the hole yesterday Bart and
I spent three hours putting two coats of paint on with rollers on this side top
half that was five gallons of paint which turns out isn't enough it's just
not enough coverage not enough gallons to get the coverage you want about 75
square feet for per gallon for this coal tar today with the sprayer we put on 35
gallons in three hours same time we spent yesterday and we covered the
entire boat and we got it 20 mils thick we can came back over here to where we
had rolled it yesterday and sprayed another layer on top of that okay some
final thoughts and tips filters you gotta have them in your gun don't try it
without screens get some screens and screen your paint whatever is
appropriate this is a 600 mesh works great for epoxy keep the appropriate
size ball bearing like half inch at least and drop it through your suction
hose occasionally just make sure that that's not getting clogged up have
plenty of zhiling around we keep one dirty and one clean start flushing it
out with the dirty one that's switch over to clean make sure you got clean
product coming out don't leave any pain inside priming you can take the hose off
right here and let it pumps I lean out into a bucket that works great to get it
primed up especially when you got 50 feet of hose to go through then put the
hose back on everything work fantastic after that paint picked up right away
after that - also on your suction hose make sure you don't have any air leaks
and they're just a little pinhole will get you so we wrapped ours up with some
self vulcanizing a rubber and no problem and then finally have some paint pans
around you don't want to mix up five gallons of epoxy then have that paint
sprayer fell on you and not have a plan B READY
even better to air the sprayers see some some of you have said well they just
gave you the sprayer so you'd have to clean them up no no and I wouldn't do
that for a company that I that asked me to unless I really liked that company
and they didn't ask me to they said they had some sprayers that
they loan out and you could tell by looking at them that these were used
sprayers that need to be cleaned up I am happy to clean up their sprayers and get
them back in working order because we have a fantastic working relationship
with single sourced industrial cuttings it's one of those companies that you
know you treat them like a friend and they treat you like a friend there's no
adverse real thing I don't work with companies
where I think I have to be adversarial with them you know that's that's a
one-time work done type deal you know there's plenty of good companies out
there and so when you find one and you can do some fabrication and some cleanup
work for them and they lower the price of the paint for you it's a win-win
situation I'm good at fixing machines well I'm getting better and so I was
able to do them a favor and shoot they've done me a huge favor on the
price of this paint so there's no loss here it is a lovely relationship and if
you're a business owner I would encourage you to look for being the type
of business owner who is also would be a great friend and that's what
single-source is to me so I love it
