I do not know of a source of asphaltum varnish. The last can I saw I bought, in SLC from an old paint shop, a very dirty last can on the backroom shelf. About 20 years ago. I've not tried it but, I suppose you could do a form of japanning with shellac heavily pigmented with lamp black. It would not be as tough a finish as the asphaltum, it would be easy to rework and redo. Might not take the metal flexing too well as shellac can be rather brittle, a touch of colophony, perhaps a tiny dash of linseed oil, might help keep it from flaking from the sides. If you try it I would suggest first cleaning the metal thoroughly. When dry rub with a fresh cut clove of garlic (to etch the metal and aid adhesion, also useful when gluing wood to metal, even with modern glue). Dry and then apply the shellac in multiple thin coats. > >Is protecting from rust the mail reason people used to Jappan tin? That and appearance. > >Is the Jappaned tin food safe if Jappaned on the inside of the container? I've not seen japanning on the inside of food containers, most often tin or tinned inside. Any finish could affect flavor and could react with acid &/or alkali foods. It depends on what a finish is made from whether or not it would be food safe. Most old finishes contained lead. Shellac is one notable exception and is food safe as is lamp black. Everybody has eaten some. Shellac is made from the exudations of insects on trees in the Orient. The twigs are gathered as "stick" lac and first processed with simple kettles and hand stretching by the gatherers at camp fires. The crudest form imported is called "button" lac which must still be filtered through cheese cloth before use to remove body hairs and bug parts. Five or six grades are available each step in the processing removing more of the waxes and resins to achieve a clearer color finish. As these things are removed beneficial properties for many uses are removed as well. Orange shellac is a good general purpose refinement. The refining continues until what is called "Super Blonde", "White", or "Clear" is produced. Most of the good stuff is gone by this point and most craft uses are with touchup coloration. The food service industry uses most of the clear shellac as "Confectioners Glaze" it's what they spray on candy to make it shiny, check your candy wrappers to be sure your getting all natural, pure, original -- bug poop. > >Thanks for any additional information you have about Jappaning! > If I find a little extra time maybe I'll hunt up a recipe or two.

Rick, the last few beaver are always the hardest to catch and the answer is pretty simple....they are the smartest or the most lucky ones! If this is a lake on private property where the owner wants them ALL removed, then just keep up the trapping 'til ya get 'em all. There are no real secrets to catching "smart beaver". You just keep setting in the best spots in the area they are working. Using the conibear 330 in in their runs is about the best choice. Number #4 leghold drowning sets in deep water is another choice, if they are coming in and out of a steep slid along the shoreline in deep enough water. If you can trap through the ice near their lodges out in the lake (in some States this is illegal) the use of 330's work great. This time of year, the beaver have more than food on their minds....and they get very territorial! Just keep at it and if you can't seem to catch 'em all....that's O.K. too, ya gotta leave a few for seed........... it's the right thing to do.

An essential lesson of survival. Wandering on foot teaches much the same. To fully understand the compleat experience Two Squaws is right, you need to do a few hundred carefree miles with a couple of pack animals. It will be surprising what you learn. I invented a couple of dozen new swear words over a 13 hand appaloosa aptly named Lil' Devil. He inspired the sig file at the bottom. Both ways teach, the long trail with a pack string will certainly teach the most. A spare animal is handy on the long trail. Part of the time I was out I rode with Pawnee and The Walrus, between us we had 9 animals. Cuts a pretty wide swath in the modern world, sometimes poor bull for the stock. Duties were interchangeable among the animals but we each basically had a rider, a packer and a spare on the string. Fewer animals can easier find sufficient graze on an extended basis. Doesn't leave such a broad and easy trail for hostiles to track. John...

Never done it but did take a few nurses out on a short weekend camping expidition once. I had gone up to the site the day before and set up the lodge and all the food and gear. (dont' pick on me for that one) I handled all the horses and did not get much sleep. The horses were ok but the nurses were up and clutching one another and screeching in fear at the slightest little sound! We were up in N. Idaho in bear country. I think I was the only one there who had ever even held a gun. I had a pump shotgun and a 41 ruger. It had to have been comical as hell every time during the night when I headed out of the lodge flap carrying my shotgun with several nurses training out behind me all hanging on to me and one another, to investigate, on their insistance, what must have in reality been a "woman-eating mouse or something. The horses were highlined and had hay and I am sure wondered why in the hell WE kept waking THEM up all night.

I rarely speak up and don't at all if I can only speculate or don't know for sure about the subject matter. I do things right and research everything before using it. If I can't document it, I don't use it! Latex was discovered early in the 18th century and incorporated into paint in 1741 (ref: The Peoples Chronology). It was also used on ships to waterproof "sheeting". I assume this was without paint because it does not mention any pigment. The hard vulcanized rubber wasn't developed until 1839, by Charles Goodyear. I've already cited other references and will provide more as soon as I can find them again. Your most humble servant, Scott Allen Hunter and Scout for Fort Frederick Fairplay, MD http://members.tripod.com/~SCOTT >>>>>>> Good for you, Scott, I never for a heartbeat thought otherwise. I meant no offense... and I am sorry that you took it that way. Like you, I rarely speak up, and I also research my gear. It wasn't until some time after you posted your note and I responded to it that any sort of reference was presented/received. At the time I wrote my reply, I envisioned scores of people buying 'picnic table red latex stain to paint their poles and canvas with and stating that "it was used 100 years before 1840. I know because I read it on the web". You know as well as I Scott, that it will be used by someone without that person doing any further research on the subject. Regardless, I stand beside my 3rd question/point, and personally need to know whether the latex we buy in a paint can today is the same term, has the same meaning and is the same (or very closely the same) product that was applied to the term latex that was known in 1741, 1800 or 1840....personally I doubt it, but I've been wrong before! OR, does the term fall into the same bucket as flannel and a large host of other terms that have a totally different meaning today as it did then? Likewise, with reference to my question/point #4; I asked (in what I had hoped to be a somewhat tongue in cheek way) whether latex was widely available for use in the Rockies, and was it commonly used? I believe both of those questions to be valid and important given my personal goals and what it is I'm striving to accomplish. Until I can research and answer those questions, latex paint isn't right for ME. I don't have the definitive answer to those questions as yet, Scott, do you? I remain, your Brother.
