their sale is quite good...got some decent stuff for more than half off

[car]

The hardener in my fiber glass kit leaked out. Only a full quart of resin remain. Where can I get the hardener to buy?
Ace is the brand of the kit but I figure any hardener for fiberglass should work.

Any type would work, just ask for MEK, methyl ethyl ketone. Thats the correct name. Almost all hardwares and paint shops has it.

So I got the mek in the sikkens shop. But the bottle only have about 30 drops and they say it will do a whole quart. The kit I have say 10 drops per ounce of resin.
So what’s the correct mix?

Looking for this for a tool chest.

[nick639v2]

Delta glass has

I need some ideas


I need to make a trolley system capable of carrying 3-500 lbs up a steep incline.

Its to transport feed (100lb bags) from a low level storage to a another building


We are currently using a pick-up to do the job but the van will be up for sale soon and we need a permanent system to move the feed.
The delivery truck is too big to fit the road and gateway so i cant ask them to drop it on the higher level

Wat allyuh have in mind?

Motorized winch and trolley.
Motorized conveyor belt.
Atv with a wagon.
Cut the hill to reduce the incline.

Another pickup might be the simplest and easiest answer. Any other solution might be more expensive and expose the equipment to the weather and theft.

I like the winch and trolley idea. Maybe use a gate opening motor. They will haul a 1500lb+ gate. What is the distance? If you build a basket that tips at the end of the run, it will empty itself too.

You can also consider a powered wheelbarrow. Those come in handy for a lot of things. It wouldn't be to hard to make one with a battery-powered drive train. You could use a salvaged motor from a wheelchair or something similar.

Great ideas so far guys

I'll try to put up pics of the situation so you can get a better understanding

motorized winch and trolley might be the cheapest and easiest option

I feel so..

Cuz the cost of keeping the pick up to use once every 2 weeks not making sense

I could make a wooden trolly with a pallet and put the mounts on it for the winch

[Chimera]

Yup and get some nice strong wheels

[adnj]

I built one of these years ago. I used wheelbarrow wheels and steel pipe axles. It was steerable and could be used as a garden trailer. It rolled over everything.

[Ted_v2]

That's a good idea. Not a gate motor tho. Use a winch. Allied have some cheap electric ones. 1 ton I believe. 110v

[pugboy]

I know somebody who just put in one of the geared winch motors in a supermarket as a goods elevator
it is using chain and a push button to go both ways as a 1 story lift
the model they bought was a little slow though but very strong
lifts pallet stacked high with cases of soft drinks

the motor basically hanging from a hook on an ibeam and chain running below and lift platform is on vertical rails to keep it inline

U will be running it on a track or wheels? If tyres consider foam filling it too, less headache

Wheels most likely as it may be too late now to install tracks

Feed need to be taken from by the IBc to up the hill, behind the gates

[rspann]

Kronik, you real lazy boy! Put a belt on yuh waist and tote it. I thought was about a mile it had to go.

Or you could invite one or two tuners for a lime and tell them that before the lime start you just have a couple bags of feed to move. Next month ,invite a different set.

Is about 35bags to tote up the hill...and the hill rel steep.

I eh have no padnas who willing to toe feed nah...

But since u volunteer....wah we go do

[rspann]

Seriously, attach a pulley a post inside the shed ,pass a rope around it tie one end to the Rav 4 and the other end to a trolley. Drive forward with the Rav4 and the trolley goes right inside the shed.

The rav4 dont be available for work all the time...

But i go work out something soon

[rspann]

You could replace the Rav4 with a winch. I have a 120 v one I could give you, needs a switch I believe.

U on the right track...i will build the trolley with some 2x6

I may take u on the offer for the winch

[adnj]

Get a 2 ton portable winch for about TT$1000. Attach it to a post or point and power from inside the shed. Extend the remote by splicing in wire so that you can operate it from the bottom of the ramp. You will want to walk along with the load to keep it steady or pull the trolley back down.

Since the ramp is concrete, the problem of getting the cable dirty goes away.

Ride up and down the slope when no one is looking.

Edit: just saw the winch offer. Nice.

Kronik yuh real lazy .

That's 5 trip with a wheel barrow
