Neil,
yeah, I've played with a lot of mercury, in a lot of ways. Just bought a
bunch the other day-- in my new manometers.
I practically grew up thinking you couldn't paint aluminum w/o zinc chromate
primer-- and I sprayed a lot of it-- in open air, and otherwise. Probably
what's wrong with me, today-- come to think of it. Wait-- who can I
sue??!!!
Now everybody in my industry just acts like aluminum can't be painted,
PERIOD.
And Mayf, I'm not holding out on you: I've done a lot of painting, but I've
NEVER felt like I knew what I was doing. I'd like to see more answers to
your paint questions, too.
Russ, #1226B

Russ;
I'm hoarding my last few cans of the stuff, but you're right-- it's
impossible to find the old stuff now. There are primers that are alleged to
be similar in the last Aircraft Spruce catalog that I saw, though. Chromium
compounds are on the **list now. Ditto for nickel & some others. If all this
stuff was a deadly as some people seem to think these days, I'd have died
back before I was twenty years old! Remember rubbing pennies with mercury to
make them look like dimes?
Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ
