Does anyone on this list know what this is?  Maybe some sort of tar to resist damage from acid or other water/combustion by-products?Attached is the K2; this photo is the best example of this coating.Matt GoodmanColumbus, Ohio________________________________________NW-Mailing-List at nwhs.orgTo change your subscription go tohttp://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-mailing-listBrowse the NW-Mailing-List archives athttp://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-mailing-list/
