That suggests that the white base can't be white without white dies being added. I suppose that makes sense in the paint world.

It probably has to do with epoxy base and UV protection, which may be added at the pigment layer........not much UV going on in the crypts of a hull....;)

Hope you are wearing knee pads. Not for what you usually do. But just to keeps those old knees in shape. Yup getting old does stink. They aren't sissy, they're cool!

Can't do the wine...liquor makes me sicker. Wine is a proven bucket filler for me anyway.

In pops time I guess drugs weren't as prevalent. So you can try to make the 4th line rhyme. I've been trying for years.

Glad your moving along. Whers the pics? hmmm. Anyway the Eagles just made a TD...yea!
