| Subject: | Re: Polyfiber cheats? |
my only experience subbing is the varnish. i tried at least 3 or 4 poly
clear coats and they all softened with mek. i guess that maybe the glue
would dry before they softened but i didn't chance it. i did coat areas that
didn't come in contact with polytak with poly varnish and it worked fine.
areas that did i gave a final coat of the epoxy.
i checked on marine epoxy varnish and no cheaper than poly.
my WHOLE airplane is wood with cloth cover! [dakota hawk]

WurlyBird" <james.t.trizzino@us.army.mil> Q:
For surface prep of two wing bays, now coated in plywood and a fiberglass cowl
I
am looking at almost
$200 in chemicals since they all come in quart sizes when I only need ounces.
I know it will make a durable finish but it is hard to spend significantly more
then the tanks cost ($400ish) to install them.
Any ideas?
I think Spruce has a starter kit with small quantities. Another idea is your
local IA, or someone who did a project, who should have some small quantities
left over.
