My empire of dirt...

Not entirely sure I know what I'm doing, but I'm giving it a good bash!! Most of what I'm up to makes some sort of sense I think, the rest isn't too much of a concern, just a bit of entertainment along the way.
Best to flame it first - our £10m paint plant at my old company still had to flame everything for JLR prior to painting with 'the correct primers' and that was PP - PE is even worse.

ps: don't flame it for too long :unsure:

Flaming ? I've had good results spraying pvc guttering with acrylic roof paints with no primer at all, good coverage and adhesion, revisited jobs many years later and the paint is still in good order.. not saying it will be the same for this water tank as there are many different types of plastic but I'm happy to give it a crack and see how we get on.

It would seem that you have to say nasty things to it as you paint

What does it mean to be flaming?


Specifically, the literature has described aggressive, insulting behavioras "flaming", which has been defined as hostile verbal behaviors, the uninhibited expression of hostility, insults, and ridicule, and hostile comments directed towards a person or organization within the context of CMC.

He'll be doing that anyway 👀

That's as different as spraying chalk and cheese 👀 - it will only take a few minutes to give it more chance of being successful :unsure:

Can't put the volume on as b is asleep next to me. Is that thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic he is dealing with? There is a difference....
It's chemical name is C₂H₄)nH₂ if you want to get technical and it is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic meaning it has both amorphous (disordered) and crystalline (ordered) regions within its structure. Why would I advise you to watch a video where someone is flaming a Thermoset plastic you mong 🤪

So what is my water tank made of?
