yep, after we got it upside down we started looking at the work that was done down there. My buddy Jon (lightning Jet on the board here) identified the original hole and the print of glasswork on the back of the keel. so yes it is definetly a 73 or 74 we are starting the fun task of getting all the old white paint off to blueprint and re-gel the bottom.

Air is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% argon. The last one percent is a combination of trace gases.

Assuming the moisture content is low, the only difference you'd see is if you were spraying a material or onto a surface that's reactive to oxygen. You'd have to be spraying in a booth either flooded with nitrogen or in a vacuum.

There's only two issues between oxygen and nitrogen. Oxygen is reactive and nitrogen is inert. Oxygen is a smaller molecule and nitrogen is larger. Oxygen molecules are able to travel between the molecules of some other materials and escape under pressure- hence the trend in using nitrogen to fill tires.
