    I agree with Outback. Keep things full with stabilizer in them in the off season. This keeps sludge from happening and less amounts of condinsation happening. I always do this and live with the outcome. Plus with running non oxy fuel in these tools is about the best a person can do. Know that rebuilding carbs will need done after a few years and plan ahead.

    I dont play in water. Lakes and boats are beyond me. Ive just never live by a body of water besides the ocean but never really played there either. So boats are just not my thing. Ive been on a couple and have enjoyed it but its not my thing.

    I think Mike T. Is right. All the issues that we live with now, that we didnt have years ago, are from goverment making things better.

    Running out of summer for a summer project.
    Almost gone. Way harder to remove than install.

    A few dump runs ahead, but I did score a few motors and a nice 12 vdc 15amp power converter out of the rubble. A neat waterproof fiber optic lighting system I may reuse as well..
    Last weekend of summer nearly done men, hope your 2018 summer was enjoyable..
    Cheers.

    I call them 'raw materials', Mike! Stored in the back of the mind, can be used again, perhaps.

    Yes, Lucas makes an additive like you seek. There is also at least one more that I know of but the name is not coming up in my mind. Go to an auto parts store and ask.

    Got this last 5 finished. All finished with Tru-oil, the same matching Rosette Collars, Brass pins, and Bone Wedges as I've done to the rest of my Imperials.

    This completes my 14-day set. I may change out a razor when I find new ones with stamps I don't have, but for now, I got to get these 5 on the stones before the set is shave ready. BTW, all 14 are dressed in different types of wood.

    Think its now time to look at widening my collecting to the more wanted names and shapes. I still got a few more to finish and another 3-day set to complete. Thanks for putting up with my nonsense of wanting a 14-day set.

    Looking pretty sweet Jerry. The inside of the box came out nice too.

    Bravo Jerry!
    I really appreciate the idea. In part because I also have outlandish, thoroughly foolish, and obtusely grandiose ideas all the time.. we are never alone in our struggles aye!
    Hehehe


    Very cool man! Excellent work.
