    110 Volt. feet and inches. Mile per hour. pounds and ounces. Dont race cars that go round corners in formula 1 and cant play soccer in the World cup.

    Real team players

    No one needs a laminator that works in feet and inches no.

    Are the "tiny plastic bags" you get your cobalt and resin in precision measured in metric Frosty? Sounds very advanced where you are compared to the way we have to work over here :rolleyes:

    Actually, the Metric Conversion Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Gerald Ford in 1975. It did not mandate the use of the metric system for commerce. http://lamar.colostate.edu/~hillger/laws/metric-conv.html

    Also, there is very little the US President can mandate. Laws and appropriations have to be passed by Congress.

    Yes -- the plastic bag is clearly marked 100gms or 250Gms or 500Gms which is also 1/2 a liter!!! easy init?.

    But thats by weight as is the resin sold in Kilo.

    I don't think they do 50 gall drums that you would be looking for, its only a little hardware store.
