    I believe everything that I have attempted to clear coat I have messed up colossally...

    Nothing to think about I loved my job!! I worked with people that hated what they did I did my best to avoid them.

    Being a Morning Person did not seem to help.

    I really miss being able to do the work .Now that walking is a challenge!

    I really miss the people but for a very limited few .

    I mastered standing in the corner by first grade I just got in position and went to sleep The snoring got me banished to the principals office.

    Even my office equipment is old...
    This little unit was introduced in 1973 and cost just about $100. Still looks & works perfectly.

    (I got it at a thrift for $2.99) :)

    This one was so disappointing.. I spent hours cutting out that logo by hand and painted with the same can of paint and the same can of clear coat and only one door failed. The other one is perfectly fine. I still don't know what caused it other than possibly drying time as one door dried a bit longer than the other.

    A lot of my problems with painting probably come from being both impatient and lazy.
    Neither one goes well with painting.

    I did bad math.... I was thinking 40 amp & #8; even with a 200 amp services, a lot of panels today would be hard-pressed to add another 100 amp load.

    Sorry... what?????? :eek: You have a standard 3 wire 200 amp service which branches from a main panel into a 200 amp sub, and two 100 amp subs? Are the 100 amps subs off the 200 amp sub, or directly off the main panel? Either way, that is (IMO) a BIZARRE installation.

    Yes indeed 3 100 amp breakers in the main service

    1 feeds each of the sub panels which are all 50' from the service

    no issues for 20 years.
