A question to builders in Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Germany and France:
what have you done for corrosion prevention?
After trying hard I have not managed to stumble across a place in the area
of continental N.W. Europe that sells the environmentally unfriendly
chromate containing metal surface treatments: - Aluprep / Aluwash / Metal
Prep / Deoxydine.
- Alodine / Alocrome,
- epoxy chromate primer,
- zinc chromate primer / zinc oxide primer,
- chromate jointing compound / JC5A / Duralac.
In the U.S. there is Aircraft Spruce, among others; in the U.K. there is
Silmid, also among others. But shipping abroad is impossible or very
expensive.
Is there a place in the general area of the Netherlands where the nasty
stuff is sold in small quantities (from under the counter if need be)?
