[modeleng] Re: Etch primer

Hi Alan and All,

I use Blackfriers Primer paint for Galvanised and non Ferrous surfaces as a 
primer on brass and steel. Before I used it years ago I did check with their 
technical dept and they said it would be OK. So far I have used it on three 
locos and they have all stood the test of time. The beauty of it is that it 
thins with White Spirit and can be sprayed with an Air Brush.

Regards

Clif
