The condensate has never shown rust color.                     That was more a show of my frustration with the craptacular quality of       this machine than an actual expectation the tank will explode.              That being said, LPS3 is some good stuff. I remember when it was       introduced at a trade show and the demo guy kept spraying it into a       corded electric drill and then operating it under water in a tank. Mid       70s maybe. I am sure he took every other trick to be "safe" like rubber       soled shoes, isolated tank, etc, but still it looked impressive.              --       Bob La Londe       CNC Molds N Stuff                     --       This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software.       www.avg.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
