| Subject: | November List Fund Raiser |
There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, they will instantly cease to receive these
Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple.
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance.
Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined with other Listers such
as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept
exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand
the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are so prevalent on the Internet
these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

Douwe. I had=C2- the same problem. Latex on everything except the nose, a
nd then I used auto enamel on the nose. It was a two part and it just did n
ot look right Too shiney and I could not get a match. So then I did a good
sanding job and put a primer on that would hold the latex on and it looks j
ust fine. Everything rolled or brushed of course. I have flown it a couple
of hours and heat does not seem to affect it. I was at sun n fun when your
wings were being taken apart and I was wondering if they are back together.
I used Benjaman Mores latex house paint. How about my spelling? Cheers, Ga

Subject: Pietenpol-List: paint matching and auto enamel
Hey,
=C2-
My new paintjob isn=99t going to involved lots of color, but rather t
he nose, turtle decking and edging of all tail surfaces and wings.=C2- I
=99m also going with a rather unusual green, and thought that I
=99d simply get some latex mixed up, but then I need to find an easy way to
match some enamel for the cowling and metal parts.
=C2-
Can I go to an auto parts store, or an auto paint shop and have them match
my latex color chip?=C2- And if I use car enamel, might that not
be too brittle?=C2- Can they leave some of the hardeners out?
=C2-
Thanks to Don E, I know a place which will mix up Randolph enamel, but they
want a huge price and I only need a couple of quarts.
=C2-
Any thoughts??
=C2-
