[RCSE] Glider Point

2002-11-21 Thread Steve Witt
On another mail list, Nathan Woods reports that he can see fire crews entering Chino Hills State Park from Rim Crest Drive (the entrance to Glider Point) to fight the fire and I think he said that flames were visible in the park from there. So, I'd bet money that the park was closed. They seem to c

Yikes, I have heard a few second and third hand stories about Imron, but I have been using it for many many years. In the distant past (before we had things like safety warnings), I used to spray without a mask or any protective clothing. More recently I use a mask and gloves. I have repeatedly

Interesting stuff here Jason - thanks. Many years ago I was an automotive painter, sometimes using Imron and occasionally a respirator. If they had suits to wear I never heard of them. Maybe that explains why I only made it to structural engineer and not to aeronautical. Have you any idea w
