B-Maniac,I posted a question sometime back about things i should do when re-assembling my tractor that was just painted, and what could i do to prevent from scratching and removing paint from tightening the nuts/bolts. You kindly responded: "Use thin clear, adhesive on one side, vinyl sheeting between panels that overlap each other. Use VERY thin nylon washers on bolts through sheet metal panels. On bolts that will cause deflection if tightened completely,use lock-tite and tighten them to "just before deflection". My questions are 1). where can i buy the adhesive& vinyl sheeting? 2)same with Nylon washers? 3) is the lock-tite a permatex product? As you have noticed, pre&post-painting prep are not my specialty and i am not familiar at all with the materials or processes. Any suggestions for tightening those bolts without taken the paint off is my goal...i did get an extra person to help me re-assemble the tractor. The paint-job turned-out real nice and i am going to post a few pic's when all is done...the final product is an example of the many great minds and experience on these boards, like 90%...i only followed instructions at best. Thank you very much in advance for your continued help and suggestions. tstex
