      Great question! We recommend using our Carbon Coating Prep Kit to get your tool surface in top-top condition before coating it. You can find that on our website and see a demonstration of the process here: ua-cam.com/video/XgYkGQ360MY/v-deo.html

    Hi i need your advice. My guitar was signed by permanent marker by the artist and I want to nano ceramic coating it, will the signature be removed if i coat it?

    • @carbonmethodco
      @carbonmethodco Місяць тому

      Great question! While we haven't tested this ourselves, you might want to lacquer over the signature and then apply Ceramic Nanofinish over that to be safe. We would HIGHLY suggest spraying on your clear coat of choice and DO NOT wipe it. A spray can of lacquer should suffice. If you already have our product, you could test it on a similar scrap piece of material that has permanent marker on it to experiment.

    You realize Purple Heart gets more purple over time, it’s pretty brown when it first cut. So let it set out for awhile first, it’s not the UV rays that affect it it’s actually the oxidation or the air that affects it the most. So let freshly cut purpleheart set in a good air flow area for awhile when it gets to the level of purple you want then you would top coat it

    • @carbonmethodco
      @carbonmethodco 2 місяці тому

      Good question! It depends on the source and this specific situation, we'd be happy to chat further to make sure you get the right solution for your setup. We wouldn't usually suggest going from 4" hose down to miter saw size, but typically a 2.5 inch reduced to the miter saw port size would be ideal in this situation. At your convenience, contact customer service (844-432-2266 or cs@carbonmethod.com).

      Absolutely! But we don't want to give the wrong impression: these aren’t printed using filament printers. We're using production-quality stereolithography machines, with our own in-house designed resin. We are very excited to see where we can take this technology: we are learning more every day. It's completely changing how we think about product design as a concept: Lightning Lock's unique design simply couldn't be produced through conventional manufacturing!

    Congratulations, it looks great. How much weight do the connections hold? I ask based on having issues with magnetic attachments not able to hold the weight when the 4” hoses hang high from the floor, or being easy to decouple accidentally.

    • @carbonmethodco
      @carbonmethodco 3 місяці тому

      Thanks! Due to the countless ways that hoses and connections can be arranged (vertically/horizontally/suspended/etc) it is difficult to fully answer this question without knowing your exact setup. Our 4" Max Fitting has twice the holding power as the 4" Standard, and is sometimes recommended when supporting the weight of a flex hose in suspension. Feel free to reach out to our customer service and we'd be happy to help discuss the best fittings for your shop!

    Did I miss something? How are these attached to the machine ports, or is that magnetic also? I love the product but need to know that first. Also, is there a "cap" available for the dual port for when you're only using one opening? Interested in your thoughts!

    • @carbonmethodco
      @carbonmethodco 3 місяці тому

      Currently, you could use a small piece of flex hose or a rubber fitting to attach to the tool - there is an example of this at 1:46 in the video. Next, install a Lightning Lock fitting to your lead hose to move in between. We are planning further integrations with rubber mounts, hard mounts, and tool specific solutions that will integrate with these hose fittings. Stay tuned for more 😎

  • @kellenholt6655
    @kellenholt6655 3 місяці тому

    Is there a plan or product to be able to adapt these fittings to existing flex hoses, or is your only option to press fit your existing hose fittings into a lightning lock fitting and then add a lightning lock fitting to your tool? I’m in a small garage shop with just a dust extractor with a 2.5” inlet port, but if I have to add this additional fitting on the end of my hoses, I’m wondering what the benefit of this is compared to just inserting my hoses into my tools. Is there maybe a roadmap to build hoses with lightning lock fittings installed on each end? Love the concept and I see the vision, but it seems like there are some pieces missing in the system to make integration truly seamless.

    • @carbonmethodco
      @carbonmethodco 3 місяці тому

      This is our initial launch of Lightning Lock fittings. Right now, you could use a short piece of hose on the tool with a Lightning Lock fitting attached. Next, attach an additional Lightning Lock fitting to your moveable hose. We have extensive plans moving forward, including: rubber rigid mounts, tool specific solutions, and hard pipe integrations. Let us know if you have any additional questions!
