[modeleng] Re: The ban on paint stripper and clack valves

Because not all of us can make perfect seats :-) and also when a seat
wears, it's easier to use a ball that can deform slightly and seal than go
through the hassle of re-machining the seat!

..and I'm lazy, and I've seen some very rusty stainless steel balls in
clacks that have been overwintered!

I plan to post a note about what I found out about Nitrile later (when I'm
at home) currently doing this through webmail at work! ;-)

Cheers

Peter
