[Healeys] FW: Cavity paint.

[Bob Spidell]

Maybe off-topic a bit, but there is a product called 'weld-through 
primer' that can be applied to pieces that are to be welded together; 
e.g. on a lap joint.  It is supposed to prevent rust; I believe it has a 
very high zinc content so that it allows weld current to flow.
