Paint - 1
“One of the problems of building power stations by the sea is that the metal rusts before they can use it.” Fred said to me one day.
Obvious, I suppose, but remarks like that from my boss usually led to an interesting job for me. So I listened intently.
“Why don’t they build them further from the sea … or inland?” I asked.
“In operation, the station needs a great volume of water to keep it cool.” Fred said, “but with Laurie’s - in paints - help, I devised a paint which can be used during build, but is easily removed. ”

Presumably it was the salt that accelerated the rusting process?

I didn’t go into this, I knew that it was going to be interesting, and so was eager to find out more about Laurie’s paints and his testing, which I had heard about. And remember I did do all this. Great fun, as you will find out.
