Did Devoe paint compny own other paint subsidaries?

I worked in the data processing department for Devoe Paint from 1987 until 1996 (the year the data center closed). We did own U.S. Paint, which was a specialty coatings company located in St. Louis, Mo. also Sinclair Paint which is located in southern California, and Devoe Coatings which was a specialty coatings company that made highly durable coatings for off-shore oil rigs and tanker ships. Devoe Coatings was headquartered here in Louisville, Kentucky in the Devoe Paint building at 4000 Dupont Circle. At our peak we had manufacturing facilities in Pennsauken, N.J., Tampa, Fl., Louisville, Ky., St. Louis, Mo., Houston, Tx., and southern California (I can't remember the name of the city, but Sinclair Paint was located there). U.S. Paint was sold in the early 90's to an Asian company, then in 1996 our entire operation was sold to ICI Paints, based in the England. That brought the curtain down on the oldest operating company in the U.S. Devoe had been established in 1754 and had a good 242 year run. Hope this information helps.

Just to clarify - the Devoe Paint brand is still alive and thriving. ICI Paints bought the Devoe Paint Company, yes. But, they continued to manufacture the paint and market the brand. It is sold exclusively to Independent Paint Stores throughout the U.S. Devoe Coatings is also still a very viable brand, sold through Independent Paint Stores and ICI Paints Stores.

What is buttering technique in welding?

It is a layer of weld applied to base metal like butter on bread. Commonly used to join dissimilar metals that are not compatible to each other. Once the area is buttered a weld can be made using material that is compatible to the base metal and the butter. Or a layer of metal that protects the base metal from exposure to another element. Typical application might be a valve to be installed where only one area is exposed to an element that might corrode/destroy it such as salt water. It is used a lot on ships where making the whole part would be too expensive. Fabricate the item from steel, then butter the area/s that will be exposed to salt water with stainless steel. It can also be used where extra hardness or wear resistance is required such as cutting edges, plow blades, snow plow pads etc.
