 |
|
Hi all,
I purchased an early model kit (S/N A011) from the USA a few years back. The project was started in about 1999. The kit came with two rather large boxes of what I now know are thermoplastic polymer microspheres which Europa use in their finishing process.
I've tried to find on the Web what the shelf-life (if any) these micorspheres have. Does anyone in this forum have experience with these fillers? Can I still use them reliably after 18 or so years? I plan to do some testing closer to when I need them but information about them would be helpful.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Tony Vaccarella
