[VAC] Re: galvanic action

[Dick and Kris Parins <dkparins@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for responding.  I am in the process of replacing a number of blobs
of rust that used to be galvanized screws.  I hope everyone on the list
knows that stainless fasteners are readily available and very cheap compared
to almost anything else we do to indulge our aluminum habits.

The aluminum oxide I bought is a white paste made for use on the skin, for
example to block out the sun.  It is creamy, not abrasive,

I don't understand what you mean by "will punch holes in the aluminum
oxide".  Do you mean this in a good way as in it polishes the oxidized
aluminum or in a bad way as in it will eat holes in your Airstream?  Or are
you refering to the abrasive quality of the aluminum oxide used for sand
paper.

Thanks again,

Dick
