correct - both terms obsolete
Who cares, for us "older guys" I imagine we will continue to use both terms, and the younger generation will just have to decode our lingo until the last one of us goes to the smelter or graveyard.
Well Gary...we don't want to appear to be a bunch of rubes if we ever run into those guys or ruin the minds
of young-uns lstening to us old farts.
We routinely called them "borate bombers" in the 60's and 70's, but I was surprised to find even then they had moved
on to bentonite and Fire-Trol by then. Apparently the borate was caustic to regrowth after the fire and they quit
using the stuff early in the game. Whoda thunkit?
As for the incorrect use of the word slurry? Dunno 'bout that. Fire-Trol in their company material refers to
the retardant mix as a "slurry"....
