Absolutely.

To that end I called JetCat and the first guy I talked to knew what silane was when I mentioned it, but he obviously had very limited knowledge as he kept referring to it as "rocket fuel" (it's not). I asked him a few more questions and he didn't have the first clue of how to answer. I asked him, "If you don't know, who does, and how do I talk to that person?" He named a Bob Wilcox and said to call after 10:30. Only problem with that has been that by 10:30 I've been in the field several hours and quite frankly don't often find myself in a position to have the kind of conversation I need to have (an office environment with a desk and such is nice, yaknow? ...but I'm typically out of my office by 8:00).

I understand Wilcox posts to this board (noticed it somewhere) so I've some hope.

But in the meantime (read: since it's a weekend) I didn't see the harm in asking the hobbyists. If my professional life has taught me one thing it's that often time it's the hobbyists who've tried out the fringe stuff. They have limited budgets and must get creative. Those in the industry often solve problems with money rather than true ingenuity (something that bothers me and I actively try to combat....which is why I'm here hoping that somebody has pushed the envelope).
