Re yellow chrome powder...my memory tells me that this is Lead Dichromate =
(or
Bichromate) which was a commonly used paint pigment which fell into disuse =
some
time ago because even a little sulphide air content would cause it to darken=
and
discolor. Its use and handling would probably be the same as any RAW LEAD =
and
should not be used for Anything..if you want to to be careful and guard your
health. Be careful out there.... Gwyn in N.Z.
