Inlay material?

Nice attachment, Rick. There was a time I was looking like that in Chem labs.

Here’s the setup for the barrel. A quart Mason jar with an aluminum foil shroud (owing to the high vapor pressure of the organic solvent mix). The shroud kept VOC evaporation to a minimum and I only had to top it off once during the 3 week soak. Setup was staged outdoors on a covered patio and away from a source of flame. Two of the three mix components were supplied by a friend in industry and the liquid was funneled into a metal storage container afterwards ….. never know when I might need it again.

Now I know why you were so giddy today when you came to The Rock. The fumes from those solvents effected your senses and now you are that sort of permanent buzz so common among those who were in college back in the 60's and 70's!!!!!! Just sayin'. I read about it somewhere? Might have been National Lampoon or Mad Magazine?
