Re: [Elecraft] K1/K2 Paint Color AND more
Come on guys! If anyone is stupid enough to sniff paint and croaks because of it, too bad! High school kids are playing 'dope lab' with Angle's Trumpte flowers in New Orleans and some have died! Ditto for the dumb mindset of hazing and overdrinking at frat houses.

Re: [Elecraft] K1/K2 Paint Color
Wow. That's a lot of email in a short time. You have to be at least 18 to buy spray paint in this state. I understand it is an ant-graffiti measure. If it helps in that regard, then it is most welcome. I do have to wonder about anyone sniffing spray paint by spraying it up their nose.
