[GreenKeys] Red paint on Teletypes...

[Commtekman at aol.com]

Thought I would jump in on this also. The red Glyptol also was  available 
in spray cans
which is a lot thinner of course as compared to the product in  a small 
paint can, I have
several small cases of this spray, it was applied to motor  windings and 
generator windings
to help insulate and protect them, the spray is easy to apply  with as many 
coats as needed
for the job...

I always called it just "red glypt" and it was  commonly used to mark and 
semi-lock trimmers and adjustment screws.  It  didn't lock things with the 
solidity of Locktite, but it did clearly mark them  as "do not tweek."
