Atlas 7B shaper restoration

<< < (14/14)

Mcgyver:
Imron is a common fleet paint...they put it on trucks because its really durable.  It is nasty though, supposed to be used with a positive pressure suit.  Some people are very susceptible to its vapors and others develop the sensitivity but at its worse it can be deadly.  Maybe you know all this, not meaning to disparage, just jotting it down in case someone sees the name and wants to try it without knowing any better.

I put some shots of my Atlas shaper (not mine anymore, sold it) on my web site.  They're a nice machine, if I had more space I'd love to have a shaper again. https://www.metallum.shop/projects-2/#shaper

LAmachinist:
Mcgyver - good point.  Any isocyanate containing paint probably doesn't do much for ones health.  I sure as heck wouldn't want anyone to spray the stuff without being suited up. To be honest, since I was brushing it on, I just used a tyvek suit and a good respirator (new cartridges), plus I was outside.  Shooting it, even outside, would be a completely different story.
