<VV> Re: PAINTING SHROUDS etc

[N2VZD at aol.com]

i use paint thinner with a small amount of laquer thinner in my homebrew 
parts washer with filter pads made from those scotch brite pads you get at dollar 
stores. it cleans matal parts nicely and they take spray paint well. been 
doing that fer years now without troubles or blowing up the shop.  i also use carb 
cleaners (wow the price now!) and straight recycled lacquer thinner at times. 
i use napa spray paint because i am always doing small batches . i think 
number that  that looks ok to me is 1635 semi gloss.  i dont smoke , and i 
ventilate well when using this stuff.  in our old shop we had a radiator hot tank for 
years...used lye. i lost a piston to a wad of foam in minutes once , so i 
never liked lye for parts cleaning after that..
