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. Vladan ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment 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.
