Default sealing end grains on gate / compressor bleed out


"cc" wrote in message
...
a) I know you can use glue sizing (1 part glue, 10 parts water) as a
pre-finish seal on end grain. Can this be done on outside as well,
specifically cedar end grain?

b) any suggestions on how to bleed out a 27 gallon compressor easily
when not using? I jsut leave it pressurized all the time, which I know
is not good for the tank or fittings? Valve is on the bottom, of
course.

b. Leaving pressure on the tank is OK, leaving condensation in the tank is
not. I mounted a galvanized pipe and elboe and ball valve on mine and I
keep the ball valve cracked open just enough to keep the water out. The
compressor runs 1~2 times a day when not in use.
