Re: Spray can, "Cold Galvanizing." Not sure about this one. Thoughts?
I used ZRC on my tower. I was going to spray it so I thinned it a little with mineral spirits and sprayed two coats as recommended. At first it looked like a uniform sand blasted finish.

Re: Road Trip
Wow. Wayne, I don't know if you were planning to tell us more about the trip, but I for one would be interested in what all museums you visited and what you thought about them if you should decide to do that.

Re: Windmill parts - delivery to the 2024 Trade Fair
We're looking for a tailbone and vane for a 6' Fairbury. Cheryl had mentioned it to the Diedrichsens when we were in Pleasanton last year and Lisa said she thought they had one. If so, bring it to the Trade Fair and we'll pick it up. Thanks guys. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Re: 2024 Windmill Technology Certification Workshop at NMSU Las Cruces, New Mexico
We swung through the NMSU campus last year on the way back home from Poteet just to see what all they had up in the breeze. Took a few pics.

Re: F&W 8ft Steel Star project
I've used vinegar with good results in the past. When I built my tower, I had to remove all the mill scale from the angle iron before spraying on the ZRC. I soaked it for 24 hours in vinegar and the next day, it just wiped off.
