Then, is coating something different than hi temp paint? Does coating provide any benefit over painting? Is coating available at local muffler shops or must I send mufflers to Jet Hot? If I ask muffler shop to paint it, any particular paint to specify, or just highest temp they have? Thanks, John From: rick Thomason To: pulsar-list@matronics.com Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 10:30 AM Subject: Re: Pulsar-List: Rick Thomasson's exhaust system maintenance John, I'd recommend spot welding the pinholes, If you want to get the system re-coated they will prep it, (bead blast, etc). I would also go with the highest temp coating available which should take care of the hot spots. I am currently flying with mild steel mufflers with no coating. I no longer have any mufflers or exhaust systems available. Are you going to LWC this year? I don't have any available vacation left but hope to skip out by Friday noon or early Saturday morning so that I can visit with everyone.

Any advice on that work? I pulled the exhaust to repair them while plane is down. Some general rust where Jet Hot coating flaked off and where new thicker tabs were welded on years ago. Two pinholes near welds are repaired with Cargo ThermoSteel, holding for now but will eventually come loose. I'd like to have muffler bead blasted, pinholes repaired and repainted. There are no cracks, just holes. What do you recommend? Weld over pinholes? Reweld joints and try to keep same alignment? What has been learned from field experience with this exhaust system? I don't follow the listvery well so may have missed new info during the past 6 years. I sent Rick an email asking for a update on his exhausting experience, but that addressed bounced. Rick- you out there? Probably in Lawrence... What has worked best to seal the exhaust joints- fiber/vermiculite strips from McMaster-Carr? I used stainless tape last time, held OK. Should I paint them with high temp alum finish or send them to Jet Hot to replace the original coating? Should I buy new mufflers? the pipes are all fine.

Leaving for Ohio on Monday, had a family wedding pop up on the schedule. Will get the check in the mail in a day or 2. Assume you will have a projector and screen - I have both but will not carry if you have them.
