Marv,
How heavy is the coating? 3 gallons seems to me would be more than 20 pounds of added weight. To the
rest of the group, what about the coating that is applied to exhaust systems? Wouldn't that work for the firewall too? What
about a thin piece of stainless steel ceramic coated? Ron [Great question, Ron... I can't answer it right
now. I need to do a weight test under controlled conditions. I do know that all the volatile components flash off during cure and that dry
product weighs less than its uncured mixture. I'll try to get that info shortly. <Marv>
