Re: coated lead shielding

     Since no e-mail address was in the posting, I will respond to the
     whole list.

     The Navy shipyard I worked at (Mare Island) used a similar item which
     was made on-site by dipping the lead sheets in a liquid plastic whose
     primary use is coating tool handles.  The name "Plastisol" comes to
     mind, but this may not be accurate, and there are probably several
     brands.  This substance should be available from industrial suppliers;
     or the corner hardware store, if it's well stocked.

Dear Radsafe:

Does anyone out there posess small pieces, (roughly 6" x 12"
by 1/4") of lead shielding which is coated with a thick orange
plastic.  It is flexible so can be bent to curve around objects.
One of our research labs has some of this and would like to
get more of it but can not remember where they bought it from.
I can not find it in any of my catalogs.  If anyone knows of
a source for this type of shielding please e-mail me
at dps3c@Virginia.edu.

Thanks
D. Steva
