    Need Help: How to remove Purex Light Lens to Replace Bulb

    Well replacing the entire light is an expensive proposition. I just wanted to upgrade the bump to a color-changing LED version. But, I can't seem to get the gasket off the glass. Just not sure if I will damage anything in doing so, or would have trouble finding a replacement gasket for such an...

    Need Help: How to remove Purex Light Lens to Replace Bulb

    Morning folks. I'm trying to swap out the old bulb in this beauty to an LED, but I'm not sure how to remove the gasket around the lens to take it apart. Any advise? Do I just rip the old gasket out and get a new one? It seems pretty tight on there and doesn't want to easily come off. Also, any...

    Dusty calcium problems after new plaster and start up.

    Here are all accurate test results from just now. Seems like the main issue now is the build up is getting hard on the surface and won’t brush off. Wonder if there’s anything I can use to remove it (wire brush, chemical) Thanks!

    Sort of, but it's rolled on very thick. It's not at all like paint. When mixed up it's more like a smooth concrete/plaster and hardens as such. The bags are just like a concrete mix.

    Which product are you referring to? The Sider-Crete plaster is not paint. They come in 50lb bags that are mixed up like concrete. The Calcium Plus product from Leslies is a powder used to raise Calcium levels, which is what I thought I needed to do after following the Sider-Crete opening...

    Well, that's why I'm here :) Didn't know that was not the correct product.

    Yes, I added 15lbs of Calcium Hardness Plus from Leslies. Maybe I need to get the calcium accurately measured and possibly add more?
