I have had success mounting the GPS antenna under the fiberglass cowl, so I thought I'd try it with my XM antenna. It seems to work, but not as well. The weather seems to take longer to download and the music is spotty at times. I don't know if it is because I have it close to the baffles and it may be blocking reception during climbs in certain directions, or if it is because of the fiberglass. Has anyone had success mounting theirs under fiberglass?? Does anyone know if it should work?

One POUND of Alodine 1201 or Iridite 14-2 will make 10 to 13 gallons of liquid. I really like making it from the powder, as you can control the strength of the solution. The powder also costs less than $2 per gallon, versus $25 per gallon for the liquid version.

Hadn't tried that. > > Dan Dan & Listers, Just an FYI about mixing Alodine or Iridite. Mixing it towards the weak end of the recommended scale, will reduce the solution's storage life, greatly slow the chemical reaction time, plus leave you with more solution to dispose of. 1.5 to 2.25 ounces per gallon works well and will give a storage life (once converted to liquid) of about 2 years. Remember that these chemicals are photo chemically reactive. Don't use them outside in the sun light, or store them exposed to light. That will ruin the chemicals. Use them in the shade or in the garage with all the doors and windows open. Charlie Kuss ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 07:35:21 AM PST US Subject: RV-List: Re: Iridite Wanted to Buy From: "messydeer" --> RV-List message posted by: "messydeer" Thanks for the tips, again, Barry. I had talked with Henkel before using alodine. They had mentioned it could be recycled. What I found was that as I reused the solution, it took a longer dwell time to get the same results. So I ended up adding straight alodine to the recycled solution. So I'd like to be prepared to use solutions on the stronger side to speed up the process, especially since the baths will be tap water cold. I supposed I could use hot water to start with, but it would cool quite a bit anyway before finishing my parts for the day. Charlie: Where do you get your powder?

He used it in his driveway, outside during a 90 degree summer day in S Florida. All his parts turned out great that day. However, the next day, the solution was worthless.

I checked with Henkel Corp (makers of Alodine) My nearest distributer was in the Atlanta, Georgia area. I then checked with MacDirmid Corp. They have a distributer about 25 miles from me.

I used to get ASF calls until I signed up for the "do-not-call" list. Now I just get the ASF mailings. Which is fine with me since I send them a check they don't have to pay any money to whatever company they use for phone solicitation, and the credit card company doesn't take a cut of the action. The ASF is a tremendous organization and their online "courses" are fantastic and deserve my support. Plus I like the free calendar and mailing labels they send me. http://www.aopa.org/asf/ They have one up there now on "runway safety."
