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.

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.

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.
