So, I came up with this idea and it may even help someone fix something. I'm a destroyer. I'm hard in everything. My stuff breaks. So, a lot of time I rig it up so I can still use it.

AirForce Blaster developed an air leak when it got a tiny dent. I think it fell. So, I got RTV and sealed up the whole thing air tight, including the "normal leaks" then I wrapped it all in electrical tape:

Hit the cord area too, as air leaks out of there. Also, knowing my luck, it would probably go bad eventually:

Looks bad, works good.

Here we have a classic. All of a sudden, the battery case cover wouldn't stay on my Brinkmann. Other than permanent Krazy Glueing it shut, it took me a whole 5 mins to come up with this one:

Then there is the foam pads that have de-laminated. I Krazy Glue the Velcro on and it seems to work fine. Don't worry, very careful not to get it on any area that touches paint:

Not so much a detailing tool, but I do use it to warm leather seats to dry CarPro Fabric & Leather. The cord to my Wagner heat gun has been burnt so many times I covered it in tape, then Krazy Glued the ends so it doesn't unravel.

Basically, I buy a lot of Krazy Glue. When it comes to KG, I find the cheap 4 tubes for 99 cents generic stuff works just as good as the stuff that's $3.99 a tube. Just an FYI
 
Nice fixes.

The only mods/fixes that I can remember off the top of my head are....
I fixed a 25ft extension cable to my blaster sidekick
Installed Velcro strips to my flex and pc power cords
A split washer for the flex blacking plate
 
Swivels now, and doesn't ever fall over...:props:


Nice. They should call the AirForce Blaster the AirForce Tumbler, as its almost impossible to use the thing without it flipping over. I turned mine into a handheld unit with a manageable hose.

My homemade two bucket dolly....

Used a moving dolly and a plastic tote lid along with two 5 gallon buckets cut to secure wash/rinse buckets to cart.



These holes drilled in the bottom allows any water to drain and prevents the buckets from creating a "vaccum" when taking them out of the cart.
