Good choice, and thanks for the "correct" spelling, and the source. I haven't
used the product since 1956, when it was on all the Atlas and Thor rocket
motors produced at Rocketdyne. My memory isn't as long as it used to be, and
my spell checker could care less. Although Rustoleum makes a fine paint
product, it was my recollection that Glyptal was a polymer with a great
tenacity and could endure harsh environments. The bottom line proof might be
that my Tiger's rear end is 33 years old, and the "paint" is still good. Wish
the same could be said for my own bottom.
