I found this watering can over the weekend, I think it had a special use because of its shape and tiny pour spout. https://plus.google.com/photos/104740570180750966610/albums/5695710428831171889

try the nickel based sufuric oxide, encapulated with organic flux.....lots easier to work with, but it creates a kinda foul odor... gotta take the good with the bad

yeah, and lucas outsourced it to Dewey, Cheatem and Howe Copper Systems. That there was a shaky outfit, to say the least.

Especially since Dewey, Cheatem and Howe Copper Systems were notorious for using “simluated copper wire” which was ofetn little more than old guitar strings with copper plating.

Looks like a little tea pot, short and stout.

Looks like It has a handle and it has a spout.

If you tip it over it pours out.

Yep. definitely a tea pot.

Got it. It’s a tinfoil stein. Wear on head most days. If radiation and the whole array of other foul stuff coming your way overwhelms it, you can guzzle beer-flavored ethanol and pass out.

Hey! I used to work on the manufacturing line at DCHCS and your accusation is very ... um ... I very insulted that you would imply ... uh .. okay, you may have a point.

Normally, the “simlated copper wire” would be much of an issue, but they supplied it for use in the winding coils of the Lavoisier reharmoniser! As you may recall, you should only use pure copper wire in the Lavoisier reharmoniser.

Wrong. It’s the mysterious, rare and valuable disgronaficator.

Only on experimental models. You really didn’t see them until the Gizmonic zonerator was introduced which made the flux capacitor more economical to manufacture.
