Hi Group,
I have a lot of powdered zinc if anyone here is interested. I figured
I would offer to the group before I tried to sell it. It is in
plastic bags inside of metal cans. Each can weighs about 90 lbs. If
interested you have to pickup at my shop and take at least one can. I
have 20 cans. It was part of a take it all or nothing deal of a
closed paint store.

I am also open to any good suggestions.

If interested email me and we can work out a time to pickup.

Thanks,
Vernon Phillips

What was the zinc used for in a paint store?
What would one use it for otherwise?
Casting pot metal?

It was used as a pigment for paint--like powdered aluminum, only offering a
modicun
of corrosion protection

Isn't there a sort of Rocket Fuel made from zinc powder and sulphur?

Zinc dust and sulfur. It was the standard propellant back in the
'basement bomber' days.

The instructions for building a fueling station (at the launch site)
involved lots of sand bags.

Sleep? Isn't that a totally inadequate substitute for caffine?

Get some sulfur and make a neat rocket or if you are not successful a bomb.

Model rocketry enthusiasts might be interested unless our current
national paranoia has killed that hobby.

The guys doing this stuff are way beyond the "model" stage and are
using mixes similar to what NASA's solid boosters use. A Google
search on "high-power" and "rocketry" and/or "Tripoli" may turn up
some current efforts. The true "model" guys use packaged engines and
don't(and can't) mix their own. I think the best use would be as a
cold-galvanize pigment, as its original use was.

I was googling about and I stumbled accross a rust removal method that
involves immersing the part in a boiling lye solution and adding zinc.
I havent tried it as electrolysis works fine for the small parts I need
to derust but if you have something big to do like a rust siezed engine,
it sound like just the job. Also its sounds like it would avoid the
'shadowing' problems you get with complicated or hollow parts and
electrolysis. http://www.btc-bci.com/~billben/rust.htm
Dont see any reason why powder wouldn't work as well if not better than
chunks of the stuff.

If interested email me and we can work out a time to pickup.
