<div>The same to you Jim,</div><div>Wow, that weight sounds fantastic. My fuses usully come out around four pounds. I wish you'd</div><div>do a build article for the K-Factor. I'd love to see the methodology. Vacuum bagged I assume.</div>
<div>Sounds terrific !</div><div>We've been having temps in the hi 30's right along, but we got really whacked this A.M. (7.8)</div><div> </div><div>I've been fiddling with a Foamy that has a 72" fuse and I'm up to paint, but the cold weather has </div>
<div>kinda put a damper on forward progress at this point.</div><div>Oh, speaking of paint, I saw a blurb somewhere about foam compatible paint. The gist was that </div><div>Lowe's had a version of their Valspar line that supposedly worked, so I decided to check it out.</div>
<div>When I picked up the can at the store and decided to look at the label for any ingredients that </div><div>might be disastrous to foam, I discovered Acetone,Butyl Acetate, Ethylene Glycol,Monopropyl Ether,</div><div>
and Isobutyl Acetate.Now I don't have a clue what any of this stuff is ( beyond Acetone), but it </div><div>sounded like the Monster from some dark place just waiting for it's next bowl of foam, so I decided </div>
<div>that I would only buy one can and give it a test. Some of the foams that I use have a very thin layer </div><div>of something like Mylar on their surfaces which gives some protective resistance to hostile comp-</div>
<div>ounds so when I test, I spray on the edge of the sheet and pile the paint on thickly.To my surprise </div><div>there appeared to be no immediate reaction so I returned periodically to check for any signs of</div><div>
degradation and found none. Back to the store I go to acquire the additional required colors and I </div><div>have to tell you that, from my experience so far with this paint, I will probably refrain from buying </div><div>
the PPG stuff I used to use when I was Glow. The stuff goes on like glass with absolutely no ten-</div><div>dency to run and the gloss exceeds the gloss of Monokote. The can is what seems like 5 times the </div><div>quantity of what is in those midgit cans of Testors Model Master that I was previously using.</div>
<div>Just thought there might be some who might be interested.</div><div>Sorry for the ramblings and sorry if my previous post offended anyone. I love you guys !</div><div> </div><div>Georgie<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">
