Take a bathroom scale into the paint store. Weigh the different brands
gallon size. The one that weighs the most is the best, most long-lasting
paint. It's all bout the copper content. You buy inexpensive paint, you
get less copper. It doesn't take a rocket scientist.

Same thing with lead acid batteries. Weigh them. The heaviest one has
the most lead is the best battery. Simple, simple, simple.


Dumb, dumb, dumb.

All of the ablatives have about the same copper (or cuprous oxide)
content - ranging between 37% and 42%. The hard paints vary more.
