Re: Powder from the Future
I like what I have read but nobody knows if it's sensitive to temps? They always toot their horns when it is. Makes me think is is not immune to temp. swings, just coated BLC-2?
Even their website is silent about it's temp. immunity status...

Re: Powder from the Future
The military used a powder developed for them (Primex SMP746) which featured a De-coppering agent, supposedly. It is likely that this is what is now being marketed for commercial use. Bill K
