Obtaining samples of the actual paint chips and dust from that day may prove too tall an order, due to the scarcity of such material, and its historical significance, especially to the individuals who may have collected it. But, I wish you luck with the search.
Thanks. I am not prepared to do much for collecting such samples, it is more less just my hobby.
Very interesting.
I wonder if it would be possible simply to test ordinary primer paint from steel beams that are not necessarily from 9/11. If I understand correctly, the process is simply to test the paint with a spectrograph, or similar, and thus determine its chemical composition, if the composition of the paint chips is sufficiently similar to Jones' "nanothermite", then it would seem to demonstrate that his nanothermite is actually paint chips!
Analysis of similar paint can give us more clues (I have even prepared imitation of Laclede paint and observed some of its properties, e.g. thermal behavior), but only analysis of authentic paint could be really convincing.
I have a thought concerning your discussion above, you say
6) Red layers in the chips were mostly attached to gray layers (rusted steel).
Now I don't understand how rusted steel will be gray, but let me offer another suggestion: the 'gray layer' may be of a cement-like substance that is spray-appplied to steel structures for the purpose of fireproofing. Early in the construction of WTC, Asbestos was used for this purpose, but it was later replaced. I am not sure of the makeup of the fireproofing material actually used in the towers, but Gypsum is one possibility.
Oxidized (rusted) steel can have various forms, Sunstealer as mettalurgist points out here to micaceous iron oxide, which is an usual gray form of oxidized steel. I think that fireproofing (asbestos or vermiculite foams in WTC) layer must be always applied over corrosion proofing (thin) paint layer. This was also a case of WTC floor trusses, no layer was applied under primer layer (it is not described in the paint specification). Fireproofing was of course applied over primer.edit on 14-10-2011 by IvanKminek because: (no reason given)
Jones also said he discovered a supper Nano thermite. Jones said the heat from the flash test burned hotter than normal thermite. Jones said the thermite he discovered could have easily weakened the steel.
I suppose that you are just joking and trolling

Your ignorance precedes you, you just demonstrated that you have never read Jones Journal much less understand it.

Trolling?
No, only one liners who posts t ignorant remarks and do not contribute to the OP.

The fact is JREF website strictly supports the OS of 911 with their “opinions,” nothing more needs to be said.

That's not what anybody said, Impressme.
Let's get on the same page here.

No, we (we in JREF "paint thread") do not support OS of 911. OS does not care about paints, this is our job. Simply, a plain common sense tells us: red primer paints were provingly applied on WTC steel in large ammounts. Red chips found by Harrit et al (and also by Henryco and Mark Basile) looked like red primer paints (attached to oxidized steel), had a composition of two particular red primer paints and behaved like these paints. If you have some specific (and well-supported) objections against these findings, address them here.
