Lance,
Here's a link to Van's Airforce forums.

Sounds like it works but is difficult. Dave Anderson used it on his motoglider
a number of years ago (2004?) and had problems and sanded it all off and repainted
with conventional solvent paint.

Hi Lance,
I do not have any direct experience with the Stewart System. However, I
have spent some time talking with the Stewart people at vendor stands at
Sun N Fun and Oshkosh. A few observations :-
* The system is attractive since it uses non hazardous and non
flammable components.
* The end result of a correct application will have an excellent gloss.
* However, word of mouth is that this system is very unforgiving,
i.e. the instructions have to be followed EXACTLY. It seems that
one has to be anal about this.
* The exact time between coats, the gun type, the gun air supply,
the gun settings, etc, etc, have to be EXACTLY as specified.
Otherwise you will get poor results.
A suggestion is to find other kit builders in your area who have done a
spray job recently and follow their advice preferably using local
supplies. Despite needing an airmask I think that most traditional
isocyanate 2 part polyurethanes will be easierto use. If you choose to
use a local spray professional, he will also be happier with these systems.
Cheers, John

Hi Fellow Builders/Flyers
Having finished most of filling/sanding, it is time to look at painting
systems.
Has anyone used or heard of results from using the Stewart Systems
2-pack poly.
It sounds more user friendly than some of the others.
All thoughts gratefully received.
Regards
