-----Magnesium Painting Process
I'm doing some research on magnesium painting processes for a pager build. However the articles online are not very useful. I need to know the pro/con of the processes. Would you be able to direct me in the correct direction?

Hello Michael. You are right that you won't find it on-line (for free). The Internet and WWW came on so fast that somewhere along the line some confusion grew between web page searches like Google or Yahoo versus computerized searches of the published literature.
To research a subject like yours, you need to search the published literature, not online articles--and such searches are not free because the people who labored to compile them have to be paid. To search the published literature you contract com[anies] like Lexis-Nexis, or if you are searching a narrower subject like metal finishing, you can buy the abstracts and search engine on a CD-ROM like the MFIS CD-ROM (Metal Finishing Information Service in England). Good luck.
