Eric knowledge and explanation of why it fails is magic
It might make interesting video, but working on boats for more than 4 decades, I know you will have to dry dock (I know you have twin keels and are hoping to beach it from time to time) but you do have to check the sea valves, scrape the bottom, replace zincs etc. For most working boats, you get a week or two every 2 years for that maintenance. In the long run, you won't spend this much time obsessing over coating thickness and hopefully spend a lot of time under way. The thing I'm not convinced is the wheelhouse windows and your belief that it's better to let a storm blow those out. If that ever happens ( and I really hope you never run into that problem,) anything electronic on the bridge is out of service and depending on the circumstances, maybe Seeker. Make sure the life raft and the EPIRB is ready in any case.
Interesting discussion about project and schedule, so contrary to what is being done in computer industry... Keep on the great work.
This is a major test very cool, you guys have worked really hard on all the various coatings and to know where you need to touch up is just an awesome thing.
Is it weird that I like these coating videos? I was glued to the long one.
Saying you like learning is never wierd or something you should be ashamed of.
I see what you're saying. I think it's how this guy talks about his trade, interesting yet relaxing. Love it
The reason we are all so smart is because we need to learn stuff. That's what makes us evolve.. If you not reading when your on the hopper y'll be full of crap when asked How to do stuff. carry-on ~
I’m a fellow paint guy (NACE Certified Coating Inspector Level III). I have that same tool. Nothing can hide from it. :)
I keep telling everyone you NACE III guys are the "Uber coatings geeks". I've it on good authority that there has to be some boat and off shore coatings related photos and videos. Show us the carnage..... lol
@@MrEric_API haha 100% guilty of being a huge paint/corrosion nerd. 😂 ohh I have some jaw dropping photos/videos/measurements that would make anyone say “what in the actual eff”.
@@The_Superyacht_Paint_Expert those are the photos I'm always interested in seeing. Those are the kinds of things I make videos about. It's something I find interesting and some of the guys in my circle are interested in seeing it also.
You should consider of putting together videos showing coating "porn", I would watch them.
In 60's -70's they used these devices hooked to a coil that roll along coated pipe before it was lowered into the ground after it had been coated by the dope machine. Ran on a motorcycle battery, handheld and called a "Jeep". When it beeped the coated had to be hand repaired before going into the ground. Inspector walked along making sure the coating was done.
Wow Doug! I learned A LOT from this video. I am questioning now how we do our coatings at work. I'll email you a note on how to get a hold of Eric. Wow again, thanks!
That was a good one, love that guy!
Great video and really liked your inspector and what he shared with your audience.
Wonderful info. Thanks so much SV and Erik 👍
Love the idea of it will be done when its finished
Eric is a gem, interesting to listen too, could watch a 2 hour long video of this and still never get bored. try to have him back some time if u can Doug :)
To*
You will have to be on the look out for more videos. If I'm anywhere "close" I will drop by, and most likely end up in a video, even if it's just to say hello.
How great is it to have Eric come out and test the coatings.
As long as I'm in the neighborhood, and have time on my schedule. I'm always up for an adventure. Besides in my world Tulsa OK is close to Midland TX.
@@MrEric_API how do you determine the voltage setting and setting the sensitivity of the alarm?
@@bradpeters7543 Brad, the rule of thumb is : (Continental measurements)
525 x t = voltage, for thin film coatings &
1250 x t = voltage for thick film, such as tar, asphalt based, enamels & very thick epoxy coatings.
Basically, the more solid and thicker a coating is then the higher the voltage setting during testing.
Mr Eric API
That was cool. Thanks Eric
definitely didn't know I loved industrial coating shop talk until eric came by your ship. not sure if he could make anything interesting or if I'm just that much of a geek but I love hearing him tell work stories.
Some people say I tell a good story about anything. Just don't expect a short one.
@@MrEric_API If you leave out the um's an er's out it could be a shorter story.. thx Eric
@@waynefederico9396 Wayne, is something I'm actively working on avoiding. Most of the time it's removed from videos in editing, and Doug and I are not that worried about em....
Coatings Inspector turned into Philosopher.
Philosopector.
Haha... I had the same thought watching Eric get all philosophical. Good guy though.
That was quite Interesting, Doug!
We need more videos like that! Thank You so much and please keep it going! :)))))
Salski, I have made several videos of specialized inspection. They are too specialized for the algorithm for people to find.
If you are interested search UA-cam for Mr Eric API.
very cool info... I use to work as an industrial painter for a contractor that worked in one of the local oil and gas plants where I grow up and I can remember having to get the work "inspected" but I never saw anyone use any of the tools Eric used ;-)... but this was in the 1990's so things "might" have been different back then.
That’s pretty neat to watch.
A wealth of knowledge awesome video
What he described is the primary foundation of quality control. In aviation manufacturing the QC people are well separated from the manufacturing to prevent conflicts between production and safety
An excellent technology for evaluating the quality / coverage of the coating.
You got a good friend there!
I could probably listen to Doug saying the most boring stuff imaginable and still be entertained.
His name is Eric.
@@SVSeeker yeah, thanks! Eric as well, both of y'all lol might put me to sleep, but in a good way haha.
At the end he stated the "Holidays" he found in the tank and that was by people that where payed. Again thank you Doug for a great video. Matt C
Huh?
He found voids in the paint and he stated that's is still an issue even from people that are paid to do this job.
@@mattcurry29 gotcha. Thanks.
I think he said people that where painters?
That is soooo neat!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good to know! thanks for the info!
AWESOME watch!!!
Yup, Eric is a character all right.
What a revealing brush! Interesting!
Amazing how 'simple' specialized technology is for tests like this. It would probably be possible to build a variant of this using a cattle prod, electric fence power supply, or an ignition coil. Granted it wouldn't be calibrated or certified, but it would probably get the job done. You almost don't need the buzzer since you can hear the spark that occurs, but the buzzer is nice.
Very enjoyable...👍🇬🇧
Erics back! I love this guy! Nice beard, but you're not fooling me!
Can't wait. Tuesday 4:30 ✌
**beep** sorry boss, holiday tester says its time to take a vacation
Hi SV Seeker, does a pipeline coating inspector have to walk all day along the pipeline?
soo, could I make one of these with an electric fence box, a beeper with a stainless brush?
You need thousands of volts to get the spark to jump the air gap. 25kV per inch of spark. A bug zapper might be sufficient, or an ignition coil fed by a buzzing relay (although the low voltage sparks will give that relay a short life)
hi the boat is looking good that wood drive me nuts
When I was young, a friend of mine's father, had to take a #1 while we were Pheasant hunting, all of a sudden we heard him scream.... He had done it on a fence wire hooked up to a cattle shocker. We nearly died laughing....
I saw a friend pee on one! I laughed he cried 😂
very cool
wow very cool video.
This was fascinating. I wonder if a similar device can be homemade for personal use... no idea how much this commercial version might cost.
Dave, they are not too expensive, and they are available to rent.
What isn't coming across in this vid is when time penalties are included in jobs. Love the fact this one has none. It will be done when it's done!
That's cool!
Very interesting content cool stuff
Do not watch this video first thing in the morning with your coffee. That beepy thing will give you a splitting headache. Great content and very informative. In the electrical trade they have a hi pot tester that puts a very high voltage on a cable and if the insulation has a hole it will crackle and spit.
Very interesting!
Hallo, ask Eric about zinc on your hull under the waterline, your ship will be like a zincanode, if you scratch the underwaterhull.
You mean to tell me you didnt let it shock you once? Would make for a great crew motivational tool lol
Are you going to use some kind of antifouling paint on the boat to? :)
'Metric guy' has cool tools!!
I should make a video with some of my other cool industrial tools. MrEric API
@@MrEric_API You definitely should.
So is the reason it's called a holiday tester because if you touch the broom and earth out you go on a little holiday?
Nice, Wife needs one!
lol Doug you could always call JC and rubber line that dang thing .... haha
Good tool to have
I got hit by 20K volts once. In one arm and out the other. For about a week it felt like I had a leather band around my chest.
13:30 some people do their best work on their knees!!! lol
God bless ‘em
thanks for the upload. Im giving this career a look! lots of pay, but it does look very very repetitive
*Very Cool Shit To Watch* Very cool way of finding bare spots And More!.... Ive seen this done many times in the past when I used to repair/wrap tanks with fiberglass (Corrosion Repair Co. Baltimore, Md) They can also find weak spots in the steel with other voltages/brushes etc... Eric reminds me of a cool Burl Ives and very kind of him to test your coatings!
*Thanks for the cool video, Mr. Roach ....... aka UA-cam Channel, GASSERGLASS*
Lol I keep waiting for someone to get bit and im going to laugh because I would get bit
Are you ever going to put it in the water if so in what year....????
@@DIYAmateurHour like that ark in kentucky
I don't remember are you going to be running active corrosion protection?
I think you mean cathodic protection? No, just annodes.
@@SVSeeker thanks for the reply.
And have a good advice about your antifouling and cooltar epoxy. not all countries allow antifouling and / or coal tar epoxy
It does take a special person🤣
Chevy should do this to there automotive frames every time I work on my truck I have anough rust to build another truck.
That's not our household 2% peroxide that ate 1/4" in four months but industrial strength.
13:32 lol
Most boat rot from the inside. And on the water line
Van Der Graaf generator (Tesla is HF AC)
Not even van de graaf, more like a flyback transformer with a multiplier (probably tripler)
@@sparkyprojects Obviously this isn't a belt on two spools.
I call that single focus thing ,,,confusing the task with the job at hand,,,
At around 13:30 that guy made a pretty damn good joke hahaha. Not sure how many of you caught it. He said some people do their best work over their head and on their knees. That guy definitely works in a construction and oilfield capacity with guys everywhere cause that's how we joke around. Salty haha. I laughed.
can I come to that party ill buy some drinks
A Jeep I think they call them at least they do on pipelines
"Some people do their best work above their head and on their knees" I know my wife does...
Ouch! My ears!
Break out the paddle !
Sweeps. At this size, they would be sweeps...... think galleon and long handled sweeps.......
@@MrEric_API Ive only used to small SPY brushes on valve sites, piping etc....i really appreciate your content tjanks
No hoax vids?
Sorry Doug-- but I want so to see you get zapped. "I've been zapped before-He says" Yikes!!!!!!!!!
17:27 there was a arc and no alarm
dug have lost wait if did you look good
Did dog by found because pink afterwards.
sorry, that is the most annoying device ever... can't take that noise anymore. I'll see you on the next video.
Now imagine being inside a 12 foot container and listening to the sound for hours per day, each day
Is it just me has a lot off the whiny sooky whiney people disappear for the comments section, since the hospital entertainment skit.
Dean Robert Nope, we are still here! 😁 Wait, does that mean I’m not one of your so called “whiny sooky whiney” people?
Safety Sally strikes again!
Salazar Payne You mean Smart Sally?
