hello ralph,
your idea of using paper, poly, paper is a very good one. i wish i would
have thought of it a year ago.
one thing though, wood pulp dissolves in oil after a time. that is why
you use paper towels to clean the inside of an engine block before
rebuilding, not a rag.
but when i was in drafting at vo. tech (back before cad) we used a lot
of velum, i'm not sure what it was made out of but it seemed to be some
kind of impregnated paper?
i know that when oil is put on it you can see through it like glass.
i also got to thinking about tyvek, i think i read somewhere that tyvek
is actually teflon that is stretched or something?
this idea brings up many possibility's.    marc
