I am going to re-finish the bottom of my skimboard because it is pretty scratched up and dull. It's not smooth, shiny, or fast on the water like it used to be. Has anyone done this before? I am wondering what resin to use and if I should paint the bottom with something after I sand it down and before I apply the resin. For the resin, would it make a difference if I use poly or epoxy? What are the differences between them? (weight, etc.) I have a large Zap Pro (carbon fiber) board if that makes any difference. Do you know what kind of resin is used on those boards? Thanks!
Gather copies of his performance reports; have in writing, either from yourself or your superior why this employee isn't contributing to the company's business goals; find his original hiring paperwork, and have it ready to use to point out the meets expectations trial period etc.. failures on his part. Supervisors who can't supervise, can't make the hard call actually do a disservice to the company and all its' employees. You're not getting supervisor pay to pick out better coffee. This should be a learning experience for you, so keep notes for future incidents. Also use this experience to guide the company better in its' hiring process. And remember, this guy is going to take it personal, you are telling him he personally isn't hacking it at the level of performance he was hired. Be strong, be polite and be positive
I would suspect that somewhere is an galvanized or iron pipe connection restricting your flow or the faucet itself has some sort of blockage or even the angel stop. as copper to brass or plastic which all plumbing fixtures are does not corrode.or ionize. steel will gurgling sound like sediment and you are right on that one softener will not clear lines
Water heater gurgling is either air in the water lines that needs to be removed by opening a hot water tap until the air is expelled, or it is from the heater thermostat being set high enough to cause the water to boil and create steam. Let the air out of the system or turn down the thermostat on the water heater to cure that problem. Low water pressure could be caused by an obstruction in the line, or scale and rust build up inside of a the pipes any where from the street to faucets. Minerals in the water will not adhere to PEX so there will never be a build up of scale, however any part of the old piping left in the system can still build up scale and cause a reduction in water flow. Once Corrosion is built up in a pipe, it can not be removed. Putting in a water softener may improve the quality of the water, but it will not remove scale build up that is already in the pipes. In 1959, copper was rarely used in homes. Almost all homes were plumbed with galvanized steel pipe, which should be almost plugged by rust and scale by this time.. If you have copper plumbing, someone has updated the plumbing or made a repair. If you have the wall open, replace the exposed pipe with PEX. Cut the existing pipe, unscrew it from each end and screw in a brass or PEX Plastic adapter.on each end. Cut a piece of pex to slide over the adapter. Put the crimp ring over each end of the pipe and then slide each end onto the adapters. Crimp the ring and you have a repair that should last 100 yrs. if done properly. Remember to insulate the PEX pipe and fittings. The PEX pipe will never burst from freezing, but the copper and pex plastic fittings can break from freezing.
