RE: Rejected posting to [log in to unmask]
Your message is being returned to you unprocessed because it appears to have
already been distributed to the BULLAMANKA-PINHEADS list. That is, a message
with identical text (but possibly with different mail headers) has been posted
to the list recently, either by you or by someone else. If you have a good
reason to resend this message to the list (for instance because you have been
notified of a hardware failure with loss of data), please alter the text of the
message in some way and resend it to the list. Note that altering the
"Subject:" line or adding blank lines at the top or bottom of the message is
not sufficient; you should instead add a sentence or two at the top explaining
why you are resending the message, so that the other subscribers understand why
they are getting two copies of the same message.

>It is intriguing that, although factory-mixed paint was available, all
recommendations from this book (composed of published contractor magazine=
questions and answers) explain how to mix the paint from scratch. It see=
ms
that, even in 1919, painters (probably, at least, the best of them) still=
were quite verse in the properties of the components and mixed their own
coatings!<
Early and mid-20th century painters also dropped like flies from lead
poisoning, liver damage, lung cancer and dozens of other ailments related=
to limited knowledge and limited respect for the consequences of their
practices. The red lead formula is, of course, completely illegal today a=
nd
rightly so. As a result of both environmental and health concerns paint
technology has had to evolve, and while the modern water-borne replacemen=
ts
for some of the older coatings technologies have finally become both cost=
and performance competitive, they are not simple formulations.
Acrylic sealers and lacquers which once simply consisted of an acrylic
resin in solution in an organic solvent, for example, may now have up to =
a
dozen or more components to achieve a similar film. These may include
co-solvents, to control drying rates and aid in film formation, defoamers=
to prevent little bubbles from forming which may create pinholes in the
film, thickeners to control spreading, sagging and film build, surfactant=
s
to improve surface wetting and penetration, microbicides to prevent the
stuff from going sour in the can and so on and so forth.
And all this formulation work has to go on in a state of ongoing change.
Although the Federal VOC standard is not yet a reality, it's day will
surely come. Companies whose complete efforts center around coatings
formulation have to develop the knowledge and expertise to navigate this
change. It would be a rare painter who is equipped to deal with any of
these issues.
