[R-390] WS Powder use

[rbethman]

Jim,

I *always* recommend that individuals stick with whatever they feel most 
comfortable with.

I, for one, did obtain the WS2 powder.

I keep it in the plastic bag(s) received in.  I only use it very 
sparingly.  Isopropyl alcohol in 91% concentration is available in 
pharmacies on the shelf.

I also obtained 98%+ Ethanol.  I have soaked a cloth with it, dipped it 
into the powder, and applied it.

Indeed some did get on my skin.  It readily washed off.

At no time did I inhale the powder.  The results on the application were 
extremely satisfactory.  The nano particle bonded with the metal object 
being lubricated.

The function of the moving parts is far better than any other lubricant 
I have ever used.

I *NEVER* take use of potentially hazardous materials lightly.

I indeed did use a Nitrile glove on the right hand.  I simply erred by 
NOT using one on the left hand.  This is where powder and skin came into 
contact.

I never have taken exposure to hazardous chemicals lightly.

I've been exposed to some without my actually being involved in its 
distribution.  Therefore, I have tissue submitted to the Agent Orange 
Database.

It was simply a matter in being where I was directed to be, and happened 
to end up under the path of a C-123 Provider, a flight of several, 
spraying massive quantities over a broad area.

Life simply is what it is.

Regards,
Bob - N0DGN
