RE: temperaprint & foaming

Oops! Eventually I was wrong with the naming. Thanks for correcting.

I'm not sure also about the corrosion issue but I would rather prefer to
stay on the safe side since the only coating rod I have costed me $75
due to ordering only one (they usually ship six-packs) + international
shipment.

Regards,
Loris.

I may have been wrong about the glass coating - thanks for the
clarification - but regarding the spelling I was probably right. Take a
look
at www.rdspecialties.com ("about us"). The Mayer bar seems to have been
introduced by a certain Charles Mayer.
I don't think corrosion is much of an issue with the materials involved.
But
if you're concerned about that, you might go for "threaded plastic
rod"...
