Hotel Arcata is pretty dope. Had a decent sushi spot too. The Eureka zoo has an amazing aerial boardwalk which is a hole in the wall spot. Great marshes and bird watching too.
Lived in Garberville area for a while along The Avenue of the Giants. There through Ferndale is pretty spectacular too. All of it is amazing, any specific interests other than exploring forests?
After re watching a Project Farm video I ordered a case of CRC marine rust rattle cans for adding to the mix. Holds up better post pressure washing and prob better on our galvi boat trailer too. A pail of FF will cover way more frame but rattle cans are nice for the touchups.
FF is amazing for...
I do a double boil/heat with a turkey frier but that sounds good too. Last Fall had some hot days where the pail was liquid w/o heating (but extra gross in the tyvek suit).
Ordering a couple from them @Reach, tons of neat stuff on their website too. I use that basic setup @Boomslang which works well but not the most pleasant crawling under gear trailing an air hose... Definitely prefer that style for painting though vs the top feed hvlp.
Also want to test thinning or heating fluid film and applying with a garden pump sprayer vs the compressor setup for a change if anyone has played with that?
I get the gallon jugs of pb blaster and have gone through 4(?) spray bottles in the past yr or so. Rattle cans die in the winter and we use lots of product here in coastal, salted roads rustville... The pb brand one lasted a while but all seem to get munchilated by the chemicals pretty quick...
