And where do you get this material?
Cheers Capt. Neal® wrote: I said mercury paste. Mercury at room temp is a liquid and difficult to hold in the palm of one's hand while mercury paste is similar to paste wax and can be held and smeared on by hand. "Nav" wrote in message ... Capt. Neal® wrote: Aluminum is relatively worthless for a boat hull. All it takes to completely destroy the hull of an aluminum hulled vessel is a handful of mercury past smeared on it. It will begin to turn to dust within hours, break apart and sink. Hahahha. A handful of mercury? A stainless steel boat is impervious to just about anything but strong acids. How about salt water and time? Cheers |
It may be mixed with tuna fat to form a handy paste.

I see. Perhaps they thought using fulminate of mercury plus weed killer
was the same thing? Cheers gonefishiing wrote: underground part of the WMD arsenal. it was part of the taliban plan to destroy the US Navy. gf "Nav" wrote in message ...
