Risking toxic waste and possible arrest for a chance at scoring some vintage Fordite… 🤔 hmm, I’m sorta thinking there may be days when I’d go for it.
jasoninsd …any time to play with your modern stash yet?

I don't know how many times in my life I've looked back on something I've done and reassessed the "risk versus reward" aspect of it! LOL

The Fordite has been placed on the backburner for now. I'm hoping in the next couple weeks to maybe get a chance to mess around with it a little.
