Maxwell-8 4,277 #3 Posted May 5, 2021 I use zinc spray, I couldn't spot the differences. But i have heard you guys don't have that in the US. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #4 Posted May 5, 2021 We have zinc rich primers, but it does seem like this is a conversation revisited from not long ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,764 #10 Posted May 5, 2021 @johnnymag3 Looks like you have a chip on your shoulder. You ask a question and you get answers...if they are not the answers you are looking for then go to the next post. I think the only attitude here is yours. Think about it and knock it off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,764 #15 Posted May 5, 2021 No problem. Almost everything about Wheel Horses has been talked about here before. You know that. I don't think anybody was being harsh. You need to realize that almost every question has been asked before. There is nothing wrong with asking it again...sometimes technology changes, sometimes somebody has a different idea, sometimes you can get pointed to an old thread that has good information. That is why this site works. Being respectful to anybody that answers you is a good thing. OK??? What you did is the kind of stuff that happens on other sites...not this one...completely out of line there John. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #16 Posted May 5, 2021 I fear I was misunderstood! My near 70 year old brain thought it remembered being involved in a conversation about zinc primers not too long ago and my comment was more about my memory and not about it being brought up again! If my comment was a source of any of this I certainly meant no ill to anyone and I apologize if I was misunderstood! 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnymag3 2,520 #17 Posted May 5, 2021 Dennis...Its all good, When you told me it was already spoken about, I felt insulted.....That stuff happens on other sites. I do apoligize, and I dont feel I was out of line and hope others see this also. I was hoping to get pointed to the actual link insted of what the response was....Sorry to all who were offended, or thought they were.I wasn't raised to chastize people, I was raised to help, and nurish others who need knowledge, and point them in the right direction. Regards, John 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, John Again, so sorry if I was misunderstood. My comment was for the post right above mine and not yours at all. I was trying to remember, thought about searching but at the time I couldn't remember enough to do a decent search.

roadapples 6,983 #22 Posted May 5, 2021 I often have questions about things that have been discussed before. Speaking for myself its my computer skills, or lack of, which is the problem... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #23 Posted May 5, 2021 Took me a bit and this is why my comment was below Maxwell-8's comment, it was really meant for him! I should have quoted him to be more clear and hopefully not misunderstood. No intent other than to help. "Zinc spray" 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
