    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Carb Dipping Question

I'm pretty sure it's ok, but I thought I'd ask, just in case. There's no harm in allowing some time to pass between dipping and re-assembly, right? It might be a few days until I get my o-ring kit in, but I'd like to get started. It'll give me something to do inbetween letting coats of paint dry.
 
Just be sure to rinse them with warm water, then use some carb spray through the passages (don't forget to wear your safety glasses) then following with compressed air.

Oh yeah, I'm a perfectionist. It'll be done right. ;) These things are much less intimidating that I originally thought. Opening them up has actually been pretty fun. With the exception of the few screws that I've stripped, even using my impact driver. Oh well, switching it all over to stainless allens anyways, so it's a slightly moot point.
 
after you dip and rinse and dry them I like to spray the bodies with some wd-40 and let them sit for a day and wipe off the excess, i find it helps keep the bodies a little cleaner and less likely to corrode. The wd will work it's self in the pores which the dip has opened up.
