Finishing steel plate

[V T]

Hello Dale,

I think Minium is paint they originally used on the
Golden Gate Bridge.  They probably arent't allowed to
use it nowadays, but the bridge is still the same
color.

Hello Dale.

In French, we call "minium" the Pb3O4 lead oxyde, that
is used in anti =
rust paints and primers.  It looks kind of red,
red-brown.  What is the =
US word for it ? I find it often on Bechstein frames
as under layer, but =
not in this Pleyel I'm restoring.  I think it goes out
of use now that =
it is known that lead is bad for health.  But it is
still available =
here.  Is it so critical to address the rust problems
in a steel frame ? =
 Isn't a good primer enough to avoid catastrophies ?

Best regards.

St=E9phane Collin.
