[ham] [Rhodes22-list] Stan, will the real paint stand up?

[Michael Meltzer]

The problem with epoxy-based paints it they can not sit out of the water, the copper reacts with air and will "hide" the copper, the
must be lunched very soon after painting and loose all proection if they sit out for 90+- days(some alot faster).
