Pool Steps Repair - Osmotic Blisters
มุมมอง 25K4 ปีที่แล้ว
How to repair osmotic blisters in a Fort Wayne Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) Pool step. Using Multi-Tech Products, Polypaste. UPDATE April 2023, time for a new liner so I'm taking another shot at the steps. I bought another pint of fresh paste. Multi-Tech now advises me the correct mix is 22 drops per ounce.

I had to replace the fuel tank on my 1976 CJ-7. It still had the original 15 gal tank and was rusting badly causing fuel issues. The video covers the basic details, the issues I had and some of the parts.

Koehler Flame Safety Lamp Disassembly
มุมมอง 10K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Disassembly and Assembly of a Koehler Flame Safety Lamp. Similar to the Wolf Flame Safety Lamp, these lamps were widely used in mining through out the world in various forms for about 200 years.
Where can I get the replacement gaskets from?

You said ……asbestos rings?
Yep digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc12410/m1/35/ If you worked in a underground coal mine back in the day, the asbestos in that ring was the least of your worries. Well if that little ring failed then asbestos was certainly the least of your worries.
Thanks it's the only DIY video for pool step blisters that makes repair attempts "doable" for most people.
I'm working on a thermoplastic step, what a nightmare. Thermoplastic is like wrapping fiberglass with a white plastic jug. Do not grind. Good video, nice job.
Question We just had our pool resurfaced today and we are noticing a lot of "blisters".. they were never there before. Only after the resurfacing. Is that normal??
Not sure what kind of resurfacing you had done, but I'd say any kind of blister are not normal.
What type of fuel does it use?
The definitive source is the Mine Safety Health Administration guide book "MSHA IG 15" in there you will see they state "The use of suitable fuels is most important. Because of excessive gumming motor gasoline is not suitable as a flame safety lamp fuel. Suitable fuels are uncolored, straight-run gasolines, having a medium distillation range of 90deg to 300 deg F." Straight-run gasolines are also known as Naphtha or white gas which is the generic name for Coleman Camp Fuel. I would recommend against using your flame safety lamp unless it's been inspected by someone with the appropriate skills.
great video
thank you for sharing your project. I am repairing some cracked, fiberglass steps, which are basically the same kind of steps of what you had there. Mine are blue. What are you happy with the product? I’m going to fiberglass reinforced the steps and then was going to do some kind of gel coat until I saw your paste. I’m gonna have to add Blue to it. Any suggestions?
yeah, contact Multi-Tech directly by phone and ask them for advice. I know they make different colors, which is more common for hot tubs. I just re did my steps this year, and I bought a new batch. It still took 30 drops. I got a little better results this time. I ground back a little further made sure I got rid of the debonded material. I'm not sure how strong it will be if you have structural cracks, this is really just a hole filler.
I own one but cant find parts for them anywhere! Do you know where I can find a globe and gaskets?! Koehler model 289-1A.
Thanks, will give it a try before spending $5K on new steps!
I just reworked my steps this yesterday, a couple of hints. Don't apply it too thick, it'll shrink and crack. If it's a deep hole it'll take two or three applications. The cure time at 22 drops is about 1 hr, whereas 30 drops is about 20-30 minutes, so because of the multiple layers I went back to using 30 drops. I was able to powerwash my steps in just 24hrs. Be prepared, this stuff is messy. You're going to get single use out of every mixing cup, stick, putty knife and set of gloves. I pretty much did all my finish work with 100 grit sandpaper, anything smaller is too much work. Good luck
Thank you. Saving me money sir.
This year I ordered some more paste and the tech told me, the correct mix is 22 drops/oz. So this year I'll test a batch at that mix and see how it goes.
22 drops/oz is too slow. Cure time is about an hour, I went back to 30 drops, cure time was about 20-30 minutes.
Nice video
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Just completed repair of my pool step blisters. I’m assuming this product requires a 24 hr cure time but cannot find much technical data on it. Your video was VERY helpful!
It hardens in about 5 minutes, so 24 hrs should be all it needs. That's just my opinion though, it doesn't come with any info. This year I ordered some more paste and the tech told me, the correct mix is 22 drops/oz. So this year I'll test a batch at that mix and see how it goes.
I just pressure washed my steps after just 24 hrs, no problems. Also 22 drops/oz is too slow. Cure time is about an hour, I went back to 30 drops, cure time was about 20-30 minutes.
Is there anywhere to get parts for these? I have one that the Stryker doesn't work.
Not that I'm aware of they're out of production. If you striker doesn't work, is it just a missing flint? Those can be bought.
Youre the first one I've seen that had the same problem as me...The tank that was in my 77 CJ5 was actually, or supposedly, for 1975 and earlier CJs. It's identical to your old one. Mine has the same long filler neck...Cant help but wonder if somewhere, someone got part #s and years mixed up.
Please... I the same answer ...
@@benjaminadolfofloresavila4928 Sorry, I don't know why it is, I just know this is what I found out.
is it possible to drain fiberglass pool w/out bracing? have heard if originally filled with water when adding backfill with 97% compacted stone, and drain line under pool to outside so not water under, it can be done w/out bulging of walls.
Draining any pool is tricky. Depending on the amount of ground water you can damage an empty pool because it will attempt to float above the ground water. Best to talk with someone who knows more about it than me.
@@simplediy3727 Absolutely no crown or water surrounded by drainable stone to drain tile out to open air the only question would be if some of the backfill might fall when the pool walls relax from not having water
Nice video , thanks !
Jim Humphrey... Appropriate name. The original safety lamp was the almost identical Davy Safety Lamp, invented by Humphrey Davy in the 19th century. It looked like he had one on the table at the beginning of the video. I'm born and grew up in County Durham, a mining area in the UK, and I remember the final miners' strike in the 80's. I now live in Scotland.
If you unscrew the oil reservoir whilst it still lit by fire...will it then still be lit and out of the glass?
Yes the lamp works without the upper assembly. The upper assembly is what makes it explosion proof.
Good video. Very helpful
Get that antique piano stool back in the house where it belongs. Just sayin'. 😨🎹. Good video!!
Yeah, definitely had to sneak that one past the wife.
Very informative.
Thanks for the informative video. Do you know where I can purchase parts? I need a fount to restore a Kohler unit (for display).
Sorry, I don't know of any parts suppliers for any of the flame safety lamps. You'll have to find ones that were parted out then sold on line. However, since it's very difficult for the novice to tell the difference in various models, it will be challenging to find the right parts. If you're missing the Font from a Koehler (note the spelling of both) it's going to be really tricky. Good luck, thanks for watching.
What kind of fuel do you guys use for this lamp?
The definitive source is the Mine Safety Health Administration guide book "MSHA IG 15" in there you will see they state "The use of suitable fuels is most important. Because of excessive gumming motor gasoline is not suitable as a flame safety lamp fuel. Suitable fuels are uncolored, straight-run gasolines, having a medium distillation range of 90deg to 300 deg F." Straight-run gasolines are also known as Naphtha or white gas which is the generic name for Coleman Camp Fuel. I would recommend against using your flame safety lamp unless it's been inspected by someone with the appropriate skills.
@@ImminentThreatDefense Thank you so much for the reply! OK, i'll use my Coleman white gasoline.
Witch exactly did you buy?
see the footnote at 3:33 Multitechproducts.com
I bought a fairly old one of these a decade or so ago that was pretty battered but still intact, the only issue is the fuel port isn't flathead, it has two shallow round indentions in it that look like they need a special key. I can't for the life of me get the fuel port to unscrew using makeshift keys for that port. I'd like to get it lit some day but without being able to put fuel in it I don't see that happening.
Try using a pair of snap ring pliers.
@@ImminentThreatDefense Interesting, I'll give it a try.
Best👍
Thanks you!
Link to where you bought the poly paste? Thanks
see the footnote at 3:33 Multitechproducts.com
will you give me it?
If I wish to use mine camping, what would be recommend as a modern replacement for fuel?
I think you're going to be disappointed by the amount of light you'll get out of these lamps. However, the definitive source is the Mine Safety Health Administration guide book "MSHA IG 15" in there you will see they state "The use of suitable fuels is most important. Because of excessive gumming motor gasoline is not suitable as a flame safety lamp fuel.

Hey, you shouldn't be putting grease between the two drive gears. That will cause slipping while using the transmission.
That's a lithium grease, it's very light weight. I've seen it commonly used on small gears (particularly plastic ones). However, I wasn't trying to put the grease on the teeth but on the outside edge of the gear where it rubs against the inside of the bevel gear). I tried machine oil on this application previously and it disperses too quickly and the squeak returns. I got much better results from the lithium. Heavier greases, especially when mixed with dirt, can pack in the gear splines and cause poor tooth engagement and slipping like you describe. I haven't experienced any gear slippage as a result of using the lithium. But machine oil works as well, just doesn't last as long. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching.
@@ImminentThreatDefense Oh, okay, that's pretty cool! I might have to try that myself now!
I would also be interested in learning how to disassemble the bottom section to replace the wick and repair / replace the striker assemble if you know how.
How do you install a new flint and wick?
At 3:08 I point to a small screw. Underneath the screw is a spring that holds the flint against the striker. Remove the screw and spring, insert new flint, then spring and screw. I've never replaced a wick but I think the only way is to insert it from the top and wind it in for its entire length.
Thank you, I am also mining engineer and don't plan on taking this in a hazardous area, but have it in our tiki bar along with my hard hat. Like to be able to demonstrate it as you don't see too many of these in south Florida! 😅
