Chuck, I have mentioned to Bruce that you have the expertise that will be valuable in solving this problem. That is why I cc'd you on the email I sent to the supplier of the roof sealant product. I have also been following the thread about welding all seams on the dome. This might be considered but we would still need to seal the dome even with welding. If there is no differential movement between segments of the dome without them being welded, I think we could safely go with a good prep job, sand blasting etc. and then apply the sealant. The demographics of our group make it such that I would think that if we could afford to contract the entire thing out, that might be the way to go. With you offering to advise on this, I would love to have you as a participant on a steering committee to resolve this problem. Let me know. Thanks Rodger C.

Thank you, Patrick. I was worried that it would look like I am tooting my horn, and that is not the case. But, rust & corrosion is my business. I would be pleased to sit in on any committee, or what ever, to offer any help I can.
If I could toot my own horn, I'd probably never leave the house! ;-) I'm a rather crusty old guy, could I be on the rust & corrosion committee too? Good, practical info Larry, thanks! _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
