That was the MOVE compound over on Osage Ave. They were shooting at the cops and firefighters so they backed off and let it burn. Everyone inside died except one woman named Ramona Africa. There was even a rap song about it back then...

I met Ramona and her lawyer in a elevator years ago. She is about 4 ft tall and 5 ft round.

Then the city used minority contractors to rebel the houses. Home owners sued for faulty construction. City paid to fix them. Then after years and millions more. Finally bought them all and demo.them

@zkx14 double check those mix ratios, most single stage mixes at 4:1 with activator and about %25 reducer. about 6 quarts sprayable and a sealer that's close to the top coat color really really helps

The JE single is 4:1 JB base is 1:1 Dimension is 2:1 for all systems. So another question... getting back to safety. We were discussing iso-nastys a little while back. Are they in all of these? I thought acrylics were safer. What about clearcoat, primer. as bad, worse?
So do they tint the sealer to your color, or just pick a close one?

Interesting. My old upholstery shop was at Island and Woodland about 3 miles from the MOVE house and I was at the shop when they bombed it. We could see the smoke and the neighborhood was going crazy. I decided it was a good time to close early and get the hell out of the city. West Philly is dicey enough, but with that going one...it was time to get the hell out of there.

Do they ever smell good.
I have this kitten I brought home last year. It can put a full grown dog to shame. Between it's farts and when it hits the litter box you know it.

Anything that has a catalyst or activator has Iso's in it

I remember going past the house they bombed that had the bunker on it. They would dump their garbage and waste off the roof and neighbors would put food in buckets for them to hoist up.

hardener, catalyst, activator are different names for basically the same thing. It's the chemical reaction that generates Iso's.

so if I use acrylic enamel without hardener it is safer, but how much better is the finish with it?
