Auto Body and Interiors

A seat cushion is a versatile and practical accessory designed to enhance comfort and support while sitting. It's typically made of foam, gel, or other supportive materials and can be placed on chairs, car seats, or any seating surface to provide additional padding and ergonomic benefits. Seat cushions are particularly useful for individuals who spend long hours sitting, as they can help alleviate pressure on the tailbone, improve posture, and reduce back pain. Whether you're working at a desk, driving long distances, or simply relaxing at home, a high-quality seat cushion can significantly improve your sitting experience and overall well-being.

No, rust is not a bacteria. Rust is a common name for iron oxide, a compound formed when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture or water. It is a chemical reaction, not a biological organism like bacteria.

In modern cars most of the car is made of polymers. A list of objects which are polymers in your car include:

Tyres, Electrical wires, car seats (if not leather), carpets, all things plastic in the car (dash if not leather) and even in some cases the car itsself is made of plastic. Alot of modern cars outer shell consists of plactic components. Plastic is easy to mould and easy to replace so is commonly found as your front or rear fender. easy way to tell if it is metal or plastic is to tap it. you can usually hear a difference between plastic and your metal components

Why should it violate it? Atoms are simply rearranged. No new atoms are created, no atoms are destroyed. The rust will have more mass than the original iron (or whatever metal is rusting), but that's because oxygen atoms from the atmosphere are added. Add: This does not violate the law of conservation of mass, because the mass of the rust is the combined mass of the iron and the oxygen in the atmosphere that reacted to form the rust.

Broadhead wrench or a standard wrench can be used to screw on broadheads securely onto the arrow shaft. It's important to make sure the broadhead is properly tightened to prevent it from becoming loose during shooting.

Yes, Street Appeal Professional Protectant contains silicone but does not contain petroleum.

Please refer ASTM D 3171 Procedure B, where you have to digest the matrix i.e. resin in Sulphuric acid and Hydrogen peroxide and remaining will be carbon.

With burnoff method there is Approx 5 % loss in carbon @ 500ºC, so it is not a good method for CFRP.

Auto sheet metal is commonly manufactured in gauges ranging from 18 to 22, with 18 gauge being thicker and 22 gauge being thinner. The most commonly used gauge for auto body panels is 20 gauge.

It depends on what you are attaching to the sheet metal. Are you screwing together two layers of sheet metal? Or are you attaching a wooden block, for example, to the sheet metal?

metal frame to the sheet metal

Put simply if you take a sheet of ordinary steel like they make car bodies out of, and leave it exposed to the weather, within a year all you'll have is a pile of rusty bits on the floor.

So whats going on here? Well the main component of steel is Iron, and its the iron that's turning to rust. Iron on itself is a fairly reactive metal, and as it combines atom by atom with the oxygen in the air you get iron oxide or rust.

However if you stick a piece of the same steel in a tank of pure oxygen the rate at which it rusts will be slower.

So whats going on there? Rain! you see the rain contains loads of impurities that make it slightly acidic, and as such its perfect for speeding up that chemical reaction of turning the steel into rust.

So what do manufacturers of cars do to stop this? There are several ways of stopping this from happening. They all are basicly doing the same thing, putting some form of barrier between the steel and the air/rain.

The first and most obvious is to paint the car, once upon a time the undercoat was done on the production line by men with sprayguns, now they dip the cars in baths of paint, this ensures that every nook and cranny of the car gets painted and stops the car from being exposed to the elements. They also apply sealants to keep water out of the seams on the body.

Finally there's the wax polish many people use, a lot of people think that the polish is for the shine, but no, its to protect the car from the elements. When a well waxed car gets rained on you will see the characteristic 'beading' of the rain on the bodywork. This is because the raid can not physically bond to the surface of the paint. In an unwaxed car, the rain forms a sheet which is the rain bonding to the surface of the car.

So how does the corrosion start? The first route is when you get holes in the paintwork, for example stone chips these allow the corrosion to form under the paint, often displaying itself as a rust 'bubble' under the surface of the paint. Secondly and often more critically is bad design, If the rain finds within the seams of the bodywork a natural point where it can collect next to bare metal, from either inferior paint application, or cheap materials used then you will get corrosion points where all cars of a certain design will normally start to corrode at first.

The weight of 26 gauge sheet metal can vary depending on the type of metal being used. As a general reference, 26 gauge sheet metal typically weighs around 0.62 pounds per square foot for steel and 0.80 pounds per square foot for aluminum.

Yes, if the egg is left on your car in the sun, it can bake onto the paint, making it harder to remove. When it rains, the combination of moisture and the acidic properties of egg can further damage the paint, potentially leading to discoloration or etching. It's best to remove the egg as soon as possible to minimize any potential damage.

Yes it can kill you. Most rust contains strands of streptococcus. When streptococcus enters straight into the bloodstream the virus can eat away the skin on your body. For example, its likely you may wake up with half your face decayed off. IT IS BAD. THROW IT AWAY. Use surgical stainless steel. It doesn't rust.

Steel wool may scratch the chrome. Try using some tin-foil (aluminium foil) crumpled up and rub it in by hand. This will get rid of the surface rust. If the chrome is pitted then you are in trouble. I have lots of chrome on my bike - and rust mainly around the weld areas, and am planning, after cleaning, to coat the areas with 2k (2-pack) auto clear-coat which hardens quite well.

You can also get polishing discs made from cotton which you can attach to a high speed drill and use some chrome polish to get pitted areas up to a gloss finish. Keep these away from plastics as the heat of friction will melt the plastic.

Try using dry (no soap, water) Steelo, a product made from FINE steel wool.

wd-40 also works quite well, no scratches...or also toothpaste and toothbrush, rince with water.

The plural of "automation" is "automations." When referring to multiple instances or systems of automation, the correct term is "automations." This applies to various contexts, including industrial, software, and process automation. Each implementation of automation technology or solution is counted as a separate entity, hence the plural form "automations." For instance, a Spiral Mantra company might deploy several automations to streamline different aspects of its operations, such as automated manufacturing lines, robotic process automations in administrative tasks, or automated testing suites in software development.

Steam Cleaner

You can also try a product called "Folex". I bought it at Lowe's for only $5.00 for 32 ounces. You spray it on, let it sit for 2 or 3 minutes and wipe with a paper towel. It's amazing. The stains almost disappear before your eyes.

If it is blood, you can also try hydrogen peroxide.

When I worked at the local GM we had a year old Envoy that a man had died inside (suicide) and rotted for about a week. This spilled about as many bodily fluids as you can imagine. The cure? The entire interior of the vehicle was discarded (including the dash and whatnot) and the cabin fumigated, then repainted. After installation, a new interior was installed. At a cost of only about $12K and three months off the road, the vehicle had no remaining stains or odors. If your body fluid stains are very bad, this procedure just might work for you!

Zymol waxes were first produced in the United States, specifically in Florida. The company was founded by a German chemist named Charles Schmid in the late 1970s.

Cigarettes actually burn the headliner. The texture of the liner is burned and melted and cannot be patched. The spot can be cleaned with headliner and the color touched up with dye, but the physical spot will remain.

Lubrication. check the to see if the door is twisted

can you be more specific? a sports car 4 ft, a average truck 6 ft, a 1 ton work truck, around 6 1/2 ft. that's around factory. low riders with chopped tops, alot lower, raised pickups, alot higher....

Besides sanding, grinding and scraping, you can remove Bondo from your clothes and other porous items with fingernail polish remover (acetone). Test the cloth in an inconspicuous spot before you try this because it will also dissolve some fabrics. You may need to let it soak for a while to soften it enough. Acetone evaporates very easily and is flammable so it would be best to do this outdoors. ZipStrip will also remove bondo but it is even more likely than acetone to destroy fabric...Test FIRST!

If it's a part that flexes and moves, nothing will repair it. Most polyurethane parts for cars are injection pressure moulded and contain about 5 % mould release agent. This is purposely done so you cannot stick anything to them.

I pulled my hair out on this when it happened to me, I replaced the gasket, poured draino in the gutter and finally wound up taking it to the shop where they used an air gun to blow out the gutter drains. Look at the bottom of your car about 2 inches in from the door you will see what is called the pinch weld for the uni-body. This pinch weld is where the sunroof gutters drain to, 4 total, one on each corner of the sunroof. If one of these is damaged you will have to straighten it out as best you can to allow the water to drain properly. Good luck
