here is where I am at with the trumpeter swan Outdoor sculpture...I am thinking of letting the cement fondue cure for the next 30 days & then laying on a final coat...
I can't decide how I am going to finish the top layer- plus I maybe have to get permissions to finish the work on site- it is too heavy to finish at home studio...
Thinking of doing a mix of this recipe:
Kings white mortar mix (which contains sand & limestone already) + AcryliBond acrylic resin cement bonder liquid+ either 3/4 inch glass fiber strands (chopped strands from Kreitmaker in Toronto), or maybe, possibly, cut up steel wool if it is galvanized (hot dipped in zinc to rust-proof it)...Or I'm just going to use Winterstone icing mix plus glass plus acrylic resin- costs more maybe, but more of a sure thing maybe...wed. may.18, 2011

(This is a Globe & Mail comment I wrote about Multiple Sclerosis & the new-fangled surgical procedures):

  People in hot sunny climates don't get MS... Which points to Vitamin D as a huge factor in prevention & cure... Before signing up for an expensive & potentially dangerous procedure, biotherapy options should be attempted... To be clear, what I mean is that someone with multiple sclerosis should be sitting outside in a bathing suit every day with coconut oil on & getting a long deep dark tan... The natural Vitamin D from the sun should help enormously... If it is winter, or you live in a dark place, then you can order Vitamin D patches online, you can chew Vitamin D chews available from your local drugstore, or you can take an oral supplement... The zinc content from light is significant enough to re-balance lead excess in the thyroid- the light acts as a natural chelator of lead...


response; It is not that the sun is not helping you in Mexico, but an additional factor peculiar to your country which is unusual...For much longer than other countries, Mexico kept using leaded gasoline...It is that lead content in your bloodstream that is hampering the sun's cure...You will still benefit from sunlight, but you have much more additional lead in your system than people from countries where lead fuels were banned...
