You building that big boat in Wilmington and releasing all the
solvents from barrels and tons of resin and paint - now that's
pollution.

Yes, we are building a boat in SoCal.

If you didn't have your head squarely where the moon doesn't shine, you
would know that laminating epoxy contains no VOCs.

SCAQMD made a visit ONCE.

Looked at what was being used and left within 5 minutes.

As far as "It's only little old me" argument, tell it to the judge.

So what did you clean up with - water? no MEK, no acetone?

So what did you paint it with - more bull****?

Soap & water for personal clean up.

Don't waste time trying to clean tools such as mixing containers, paint
rollers, brushes, etc

Don't even have acetone or MEK in the boat yard.

Once again, you have assumed the position.

If you buy one out of state and use it in CA don't you run the risk of

My 4 hp Suzuki isn't worth fixing anymore. I want to buy a new 2-3-4
hp 2 stroke - but CA has banned new 2 strokes - only 4 stroke
anymore. What's available in Oregon or Arizona?


To get back to your original question...there are still a few 2-strokes you
can purchase (outside of CA of course). Tohatsu (same as Nissan and
Mercury) still makes a 2.5 and 3.5 2-stroke. You can find more info at
their website at www.tohatsu.com (or www.nissanmarine.com).

Good luck.

Johnson (formerly of OMC, now owned by Bombardier) still makes a 2 stroke 3.5HP
engine. Probably available in the US.

Maybe he doesn't know that you can do a better job of cleaning up
special/expensive tools and such with vinegar?
