Among other things I'm very confused about proper adhesives, lubricants, and sealants to use.
There are TONS of good suggestions on this forum, and other places.
The problem is researching any one takes very time consuming hunt and seek, and may result in stopping on less than the best, or complete, suggestion.
Could someone other than me with a very low baseline of knowledge reduce some of the subjects in a concise list of recommendations?
A database could include things such as "By" (who), application (which damned plastic), reason, pros, cons, etc.
While a cumbersome task, like the parts interchange once done it can only be improved upon.
Also as things change, new products become available and new suggestions arise.
To lessen the burden on any one person, several could volunteer for individual applications and situations.
Normally instead of a formal DB structure, an excel spreadsheet suffices.
If successful, the concept could be expanded into alternative parts, products, upgrades, projects, etc.
If this information already exists somewhere in concise form, I apologize for bothering anyone reading.
BYW, I NEVER work on my 10 year endless money pit project without Coreseal (in a tupperware sealable bowl) and acetone/tranny fluid (in a small sealed mason jar) handy, along with a separate small detail brush and small paint brush attached to the containers.
Any rubber, including new, gets treated with a preservative. Always have a totally polluted rag handy for 40 years of grease somewhere.
Any rusted bolt gets replaced with SS.
My goal is to maintain as though it will last another 40 years, and once burnt, twice shy.
I always keep an aggressive cleaner, a mild cleaner, rubber preservative, and scotch pad handy all with separate rags to avoid cross contamination.
There's three colors I hate to see, rust orange, plastic mustard yellow, and the original circus green.
I also have my own GMC spreadsheet where I keep track of part #'s and suggested brand product names(not all are in parts database), my to do list broken down by must, should, would like to, and pipe dream, and links to complicated help procedure sites. (among other tidbits and notes)
Overkill perhaps, but then that's my painful nature.
Thanks to all for the limitless help you have given to others, most especially myself over the years.
