...is this true?

I've had no luck finding propwash by the bucket. All kinds of hogwash though...

I don't believe you're finding "hogwash", this stuff is a joke to get newbies, running around for something that doesn't exist!. "Badger talk", on the other hand, IS real!!!

In my area, propwash is being put into gallon jugs and sold four to a box(look for boxes!!!). Now, if I could only find where I left that skyhook, I'd be in good shape.

For replicating "non-slip yellow", the best method is to prime the area with white dyed non-slip yellow(flat), then procede to the yellow colored non-slip yellow.

Totally unrelated to the thread but... hey rijklasticmod, judging by your location you must realize this year it's a "Spartan State"! Go State!!

Manny is just trying to make everyone mad cause he has too much spare time.

Since this reply is on page 5... apparently he's not alone

Since looking into the subject further, it seems the Germans came across the Gelb chemistry while studying the effectiveness of air dropped banana skins as a method of slowing down any force advancing on them.

While irradiating the skins in a purpose built microwave chamber, they mutated & gave the opposite effect from what was expected. Some clever physicist found an effective method of mass producing these & managed to combine them with a specialised paint - production was carried out in a converted ball bearing factory.

Bit like a radiator cap for a VW Beetle huh?

Or a 710 cap.

not sure about all of this, but I do appreciate the poop I just took

Is this where someone is supposed to ask how this relates to the original post about super-sticky yellow paint...

Maybe it was yellow?

I suspect the Khasi is the last place you would want to use Gelb?

We were all thinking it, I just couldn't be the one to say it!

Dangerous!!

One drop & the suckers toast,

I just painted the leading edge stripes on my Zero and Tony models. Amazing how well it sticks!

I saw a technical bulletin on the P-38. As you know the props rotate in opposite directions. This was done not just to reduce torque, but also to conserve paint. Through wind tunnel tests it was found that the propellor paint would be tossed in the direction that the propellor was spinning. By carefully designing the propellors they made it so that the paint would be thrown over the cockpit and caught by the opposite propellor.  Earlier trials had the cockpit just covered with paint on both sides until they could get thepitch just right. This lengthened the time need to get the propellors repainted.

"Prop-wash"!

Spotted some pics of a very well-done Lotus...

But with yellow on the wheels & striping, it's hard to imagine it was very fast with all that sticky paint!

The yellow wheels are all about grip through the turns.

That's it, I'm getting yellow wheels for my Chevy Cobalt before winter hits us up here!!

Vance, you laugh, but I have seen cars about town with tires that have a yellow strip in the tread.  I  thought it just meant they were scared in city traffic.  Silly me, little did I know.
