jalopy forge Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Just an update on the progress of my small (8 x 10) shop Outside is done, now need to install chimney and setup inside. Was going to spray inside walls with clear sealer but also want to spray on borax for a little fireproofing. Should I spray on the sealer or the borax first. Or just borax?

turbo7 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 IMO, just the borax mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalopy forge Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Ok, just borax Thanks for the reply turbo7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuppiejr Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Nice looking shop! What are you doing for a fresh air supply? Not sure if I'd do the sealer either, the borax is certainly an inexpensive fireproofing option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalopy forge Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Shop has 4 windows that open, but Michigan winters might change my mind on that idea. I have power close by if I need to add an electric vent fan or blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalopy forge Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Winter and a back problem slowed me down but I finally got the shop together. Shop has no power tools, just hand crank and pedal power so I get a little exercise while having fun. Just using as a small hobby shop for me and my son.
