Corky,
I was guessing you would do a Goggle search on items in my post, so I will do it for you. This is just one of the hits. http://www.passonnopaints.com/Pages/Starblast.cfm Although I do not agree with all which is stated. I started using Black Beauty back in the late 70's (I still have a nice tattoo from it imbedded in my arm). The last few years I have seen the introduction of Starblast. It is the best stuff going for non-containment jobs. I realize small projects like yours might not warrant the hassle of acquiring such a product but in the new tank construction-painting phase nothing beats it, so far. Black Beauty is still used more for rehab jobs. And no, I have no interest in Starblast, just telling it like I see it. I know inhaling is bad, I have many times told the paint foreman's to have his painters wear respirators. I believe it is true that most painters drink to relieve the headaches after painting. They just don't drop dead because of indirectly short time sniffing paint. I do know some painters have built up a "sensitivity" into their body systems which means either they get sick, quit painting or wear proper full face protection. Some I work with are into their 60's. Note to self: Maybe that is why the painter's union in the Chicago area is thinking about lowering their full retirement benefit plan down to 55 instead of 62?? Yes, I did read what you posted, and no I did not direct the "follow directions from the paint manufacture" to you but as a general common sense reminder to all. I have been in the blasting and painting industry for over 22 years, the last 13 years as a Certified NACE and CWI inspector (goggle search if you must). During the painting phase, my job is mainly to make sure the contractor follows the specifications as directed by the Engineer and the paint manufacture recommendations, so sorry if I offended you, this was not my intent of my post. I like to give back any information I have learned during my years of the fight against corrosion. (My motto is rust never sleeps) I am hanging out in news groups such as this to see what is going on, as I too would like to someday get into the home building of an airplane. As a private pilot I know the costs of renting. .. regards, Pat Thronson Babb, MT |
