Brent, Depending on what type of bedding compound you use some harden
and some stay soft. Have taken items off of a sunken sub that had been
down since 1926 and where components were bedded, there was no corrosion
between them. If they were of dissimilar materials, there would be
corrosion around the more noble material on the less noble material but no
corrosion between the adjoining surfaces. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas As scarce as the truth is, the supply has always been in excess of
the demand. -Josh Billings From:

From: bottomgun@mindspring.com To solve the issue and still use George’s design, a
bedding compound such as red lead (or other material) is slopped on between the
steel and lead. The bedding compound fills voids and imperfections,
sealing out both water and oxygen so no corrosion can take place. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas As scarce as the truth is, the supply has always been in excess of
