What's the difference between this sealer and mod podge? If I press a fingernail into the Earth Safe, will it dent or is it completely hard?

I have only used on a mosaic project, so I can't tell if it will dent or not, but from observing it on this project it seems very hard. It dries very fast, and has absolutely no odor. You can use it on furniture, craft projects, cement, terra cotta, brick etc. inside or outside, so it must be quite hard when dry. You can also lightly sand it, if needed. It is water-based and non-toxic. You can apply it with a brush or sponge. Use a good brush or it will show the brush marks. Hope this helps.

Just FYI, when tightening the cap, it does not require heavy pressure to seal completely. If you go overboard and screw it down with all your might in the belief it's getting a better seal, it may distort the silicone seal and cause problems. There should be no reason the seal wouldn't outlast the bottle with reasonable handling. If you want to see just how well it seals, fill it up, screw it down just a bit past the initial contact, and shake it as hard as you can muster to see if you can get it to lose a drop. I've even done it with boiling water and it held the pressure with no problems. Pressing the release had the lid pop open, showing how much pressure it was able to hold without any trace of leakage.

This is a cheap plastic knockoff. The aie-300 is the real deal. Metal, and sturdy. Not plastic and flimsy. As for the cutter. Depending on what temperature you set the sealer at you can pull up and rip off the excess plastic (at the immediate end of the sealing cycle). It won't be a perfectly clean edge or tight seal on a consistent basis though.

I'm using a portable 6 gallon 150 psi pancake compressor made by Stanley. It's fine for my basement/garage projects using any of my 3 nail guns.

The impact driver is for driving screws, philips or square or torx or hex drive screws. If you are looking to drive 16p nails an air powered palm nailer is better. There are some electric nail drivers, not sure they would work well with framing nails.

We do have a perfect groove-Our Lid Seal is made of polyurethane not silicone. (Silicone seals will leak every time) With our new seals you will not even get any indentations , even after 24hrs of vac. Hope this helps! Provac

The trick here is to apply the best penetrating oil you can find, WD40 works ok but I would recommend something better like PB Blaster. Let it set overnight, you may want to apply a few times. When I went to remove the following day, it came right off with no issues. Mine was in very bad shape. Use 2 sets of pliers to remove - one for square pin and other for circular base. Good luck!

I haven't used any woodworking glue yet. I have only used mod podge. And I haven't had a problem just rubbing it off like regular glue.

The first responder's words are very misleading: first, I'm not sure how you would effectively load unclipped nails in this nailer, and I've had great success with 1000's of hitachi 21 deg nails (all plastic clipped). They penetrate great and they're pretty darn cheap. Secondly, I would never use 22 deg nails in a 21 deg nailer. This nailer has a fixed loading mechanism. You wouldn't load a gun magazine with bullets angled 1 degree off the angle of the barrel, right? Hope this was helpful and that this is crystal clear - 22 deg nails could ruin the nailer - why take the risk? Happy nailing!

If your using portable compressor, it most likely will not have a lubricator attached, unless you have added one. If that is the case, keep doing what you're doing, add a few drops directly in the coupling on the tool every 2-3 hours. Be sure to keep your tank drained of any water that might accumulate. Moisture makes the seals sticky and can cause erratic behavior with your nailer. Clean, dry air and lubricated seals makes for a happy nail gun.

This tool is not for nails. It works like the air wrench they use to remove the lug nuts on your wheels. They are called impact guns because they have a small hammer inside that impact the shaft to loosen the nuts. You are looking for a nail gun. Most of those require an air compressor to provide power.

I don't know what the spec is but I will tell you that it has more torque than the average human can control. I have never had it bog down. If you are drilling holes with this unit, I advise that you have the side grip braced against something in case the bit binds.

Yes it did a great job of driving these nails. The 1 3/4 inch nail is what I used. I just turned down the output from the compressor to about 80 psi and went to work. There are also depth adjustments on the gun itself. I only used mine for one job and then put it back into a box until next time that I might need it. I am really happy with this purchase. Hope this helps.Mike. (Joy is my wife)

I guess you are asking about a air compressor. The nail gun uses very little air, but you need to keep the pressure at 90 psi. Many of the new compressors run at 125 or higher. This is good because the regulator will keep it at 90psi. That will keep nails at a consistant depth. Oilless are less maintenance, but are louder and wont last as long.

Sorry, but I have no idea if there is a difference. I figured either regular mouth jar sealer had to fit. I chose this one (from Goodman's) because it was the cheapest, including shipping. Still no problems with it at all. Hope this helps.

I purchased 'MASH' brand nail glue. This glue works super good!!! Just make sure you use just a little, cause a little goes a long way. Also my nail was breaking, I didn't want to lose my nail, so I decided to place just a dab of 'mash' glue, and it WORKED! I didn't want to have that odd short nail while the other nine where long a pretty :) Hope this works for you.... goodluck

I made my own tool. Take one of the bits (say, the pointed one), and cut it off about 4" beyond the part that goes into the drill. Throw away the pointy end. Now, buy a 3" piece of steel 3/4" pipe. Either black or galvanized will work, but black is half as expensive. Screw a 3/4" round floor plate onto one end. This will be the tamping end. Or a 3/4"-1" FPT/FPT adaptor, 1" close nipple and 1" round floor plate. Take a 3/4" coupling and screw it onto the other end. The cut-off end of your tool will fit nicely into the open end of the 3/" coupling, it's a tight fit, but it will pond itself in. This tool will all last for about 2 hours before one of the steel pipe parts breaks, but so what? It's all pretty cheap, and the cut-off tool part will last forever. I used this to tamp soil back under a sidewalk I had excavated under. Worked well. I also took a piece of hard steel, 3-1/2" x 8" x 3/16" and bolted it to a 3/4" floor plate. That worked even better.
