    I have 20 feet of new 1/2" propane hose with woven stainless steel cover I'd like to make shorter hoses from. The only way I can think of to cut the wire jacket is 4.5" angle grinder cutting disc. Heat generated in contact with rubber smokes and melts resulting in a mess on disc and hose...

    Getting Decals Made

    I've been able to get anything I have clear pictures of from a local office supply, print and sign shop. A couple times they resized or changed colors for me. Cost is waaaaay cheaper than anything online selling decals.

    Trailer wiring

    Checks

    I ran out of gas and borrowed a gallon from a homeowner nearby. I put the gas in and went to station to buy gas and refill borrowed can. When I returned the can the guy had a bag of peaches and a bag of vegetables waiting for me.
