To: C/R Clarke Order No.: Customer's No.: Re Petrol & Oil Resisting Enamels X 3067 We have tried the above Enamels & the Castrol Resisting Enamel was applied to a Float Chamber Casting & then completely immersed in Castrol for 50 Hours & appeared quite good Castrol having no effect on the Enamel. Should think it would be as well to obtained some more enamel & do a complete set of Carburettors for an Engine & see if we still get the same good results when the Enamel is subject to the Oil & Petrol. Petrol Resisting Enamel was tried but when Petrol is applied the Enamel Peels & Rubs off & don't think we need go any further with this. Signed: A Coventry This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
