OK what do you call some thing that is made from cement and water with nothing in it? Thank you Larry Jackman Boca Raton FL ljack70117@... I was born with nothing and I have most of it

I just had multiple prints made from three negatives, commercially, and it was $7.50 per each. They did a nice job. SGL La vita e breve, mangiate prima il dolce!

Well Larry, you have summed it up here, but let me add some observations that might help someone interested in adding life to his freight car fleet. I have noted in a lot of freight car photos that

Correct. Drives me nuts when people talk about the cement walk in front of their house. It's a pet peeve. SGL

Hi y'all -- Acetone (boiling point 56 Celsius) is lower boiling than MEK (bp 80 C) or alcohols (bp above 100 C mostly). So I'd think acetone alone would dry *faster* than mixtures with those other

Dennis, you have covered this well here, but let me step in and correct Richard Hendrickson's error. He stated that the waste packing becomes life expired when it becomes "packed down and accumulates

Greg you are confusing Accupaint with Accuflex. Two different paints. Accuflex was an acrylic paint created and/or promoted by Greg Konrad. It was later taken over by Testors/Floquil who killed it

Hi Richard, I agree; I posted a bit about painting with Accupaint and with PBL Star Brand. In it I stated that I used Dupont 3696S Acyrilic Lacquer Thinner to thin both Star and Accupaint. I hope

Sorry, all I was thinking ACCUFLEX not ACCUPAINT my mistake Greg Martin

Don Smith wrote: Gosh, did Greg miss another one? <g> And for those occasional non-chemists on the list who want to know, acetone is also known as dimethyl ketone. Tony Thompson

Sure, Don, as an airbrush cleaner. I use acetone or lacquer thinner, too, for that purpose; it works well on every paint I've ever run through the airbrush and is readily available at a relatively

Tim asked: He probably means Greg Konrad, of AccuFLEX (not AccuPAINT) fame. Different paint entirely. Tom Madden

Tim, The late Greg Konrad was the person behind the original Badger Accuflex, later Testors Accuflex. Regards, Ed Hawkins

Hi Greg, If you should happen to read the label on a pint of Accupaint thinner you would learn it contains Acetone, Methylethyl Ketone, Propyl Alcohol, Diacetone Alcohol. It currently costs $15.95

The old bottles were not airtight. So over time (years) the thinner in the bottle evaporates. Adding new thinner will revive the "paint". Also, I have a large jar of Accupaint thinner for stripping.

Who is Greg Conrad? Accupaint is not an acrylic paint, it's a printing ink. Greg Martin's advice sounds good for most acrylic paints, but not AP. AP can be diluted with lacquer thinner, but why would

Mont I just wonder if real cement could chemically interact with the type of paint you put on the model ... or with the model itself, resin, plastic or brass. We need a chemist I suppose to answer
