Why would i buy a 40 Gal drum of molasses ?

Thanks for your good words Terry and your humour Charlie . Thanks for your advice David , Lynn and Richard . I feel lucky being accompanied on this project by advisers from all over the world ! I have covered the whole bath with a 8mm piece of plastic sheet so i don’t / can’t look at it every day. Next week i will pull the tracks out in the sunlight and give them a good spray with the pressure washer with water from the hot water heater. Then the flexing of the track. We shall see what happens next but i suspect they will go back in the bath for another while . I will report on the progress in one week and post pictures. Stay tuned . As for phosphoric acid .. i thought it was something they put in illumination shells , mortar bombs and grenades when they still could , not milking implements and holding tanks ...

Phosphorus....for smoke shells

Magnesium.....for illumination

Hey Charlie, i never went much into details when i dealt with GOLF . When i wanted smoke GOLF sent smoke shot over and the world was full of chocking smoke . When i asked for illum , GOLF sent illum shot over and it lit up the night sky like it was day. Cheers. Bob

Only if they used mortars...with arty illum, you still need a flashlight, and smoke? - it's just a wisp of a thought..
