Looks like you got the dreaded triple post forum burp.
At least you didn’t have the browser freeze on you, then you’d be in a real fix.
At least, I’m guessing you didn’t have it freeze..?

The sort of paint you use on outside bulkheads doesn’t ever wash out of anything. That being why I have to buy two new uniforms now.

Welcome to the Undead Thread! This thread is the December home of the UT, and we will keep it alive until December 31st.

Chemical anti-reactive coating, flash point of room temp, special application instructions, and the warning of ‘do not ever get it on you’.
I never messed with it myself, and am thankful for it, but it sounds similar to the paint you use on corrosion control detail.

[sionnsar]

Well, look on the bright side: When painting outside bulkheads you now have a choice of what to wear! *\;-)

[sionnsar]

"flash point of room temp" and the warning of "do not ever get it on you" would seem to go together automatically.

Unless you've assumed somewhere below room temp -- in which case, why worry?

[Darksheare]

Which will bump the thread up the list a bit.
Mods also should, by now, have added to their lecture series links on the mod bio page.
*shuddering*
non-euclidean bio page...
..has more space inside than on the outside, angles that act acute but aren’t.
The horrors, the horrors!

There is something comforting about having a pot of soup on the stove and the smell of baking bread. It makes me feel rich.

We are safe and about to be fed something warm and tasty. Who could ask for anything more?

[Darksheare]

The stuff has special application instructions.
And even then it can go ‘splodey’ on you.
We always said, “Is the scratched off portion bigger than a dollar bill? No? Then leave it for battalion motors to worry about.”
The stuff doesn’t come off well unless it is bashed off apparently.
I’ll have to dig my old books out for solid ‘from the horses mouth’ data, but the stuff was still a worry at 75 degrees air temp.
I think I’m off by about six degrees or so, but my memory is of reading the number, looking at a thermometer and going, “Not me man.”

"We are safe and about to be fed something warm and tasty. Who could ask for anything more?"

I can always ask for more.

"Please, Sir, I want some more."

See? No problem. I like to stay in practice.

You could be more careful, you know.

Grandad’s 1973 240Z got spattered battleship gray sitting on the dock by the Eisenhower, in the prestigious #3 parking spot. Russ and I scraped the gray specks off with razor blades for-E-ver.

[Darksheare]

“Who could ask for anything more?”

Me?
I’m always looking for a good solid dependable rifle to add to my small collection of so far three.

I enjoy making bread, but just haven’t put in the time recently. With all these byos, I work in increments of 5 minutes between disasters. Soups get on, though, and bread from the Harris Teeter, which DP passes on the way home from the office.

Was this before or after you were familiar with the difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit?

Jes' askin'.

Hate to break it to you Darks, but most folks' definition of a "good rifle" is not a "solid one." For whatever reason, they always seem to have an empty hole all the way up the barrel.

One that is "dependable" (you KNOW how it is going to operate), on the other hand...

He was using Rankine, and I wouldn't blame him.

[Darksheare]

After.

[Darksheare]

Okay, so I’m looking for a rifle along the lines of the old reliable M1 garands and M14s.
The “if all else fails, beat them into submission with it” rifle.
Most rifles these days would go ‘ack, my manicure’.

[Darksheare]

I had a section chief who would convert to kelvins when he read off our powder temps.
FDC hated Gun 3.

Posted in October and I missed it. Never the one to miss an opportunity...you're a newby, wet behind the ears. Come back once you have experienced the flame wars of old, and tell us what you think.
