I emailed them here's the question and response:

Hi,  I am trying to locate a non-catalyzed non yellowing clear coat.  I
am aware that the old lacquers are out of fashion (darn) but could you
suggest an alternative that is solvent and fuel resistant?  I could use
a small quantity at first to see if it will work in my application,
quart perhaps?

Thanks

Comments are welcome.  If it is good stuff, sure would beat Butyrate clear and the catalyzed clears for what we use it for.

So sit very still whilist I  smack yer applause thingy with my
smiter gizmo    There, see that didn't hurt did it?  Can you feel
the surge in karma power?  kinda like a really great 4-2-4 huh?

Marv,

You might ask Howard Rush about this. I think he's tried several non-catalyzed clearcoats, with ah, varying results. His current orange impact is done with some non-catalyzed, urethane DuPont product that he says is not very fuel proof. which is why he's always rushing to get it wiped off immediately after a flight.

I shot a profile with Deft urethane clear gloss from a rattle can (over dope color). Worked fine for me.

Randy,  Your Karma was looking kinda sad so I unholstered my
mighty Smotem gizmo and Pow!  gotcha    If it wasn't fer da fact that
you'uns are one of the good guys, I mighta had ta smote ya some for not
displaying the "Toad" on your ID.  it is afterall the mostest bestest gorgeous
fastest looking plane in the universe, mini-skirts not withstanding.

Marv,

When it's done, I'll send up pictures. Probably a couple of weeks after VSC. If you're nice to me, I might see my way clear to sending you the plans.

Quick, where do I grovel?  I want to show that I am
not too greedy, so save the postage and omit the skirts 

I will start saving pop bottles right away so I can buy some of that
high temp paint for it, wouldn't want to start a fire on take-off

Actually, as I understand it Howard's current Impact has no clear at all on it.

Which might explain why those of us allowed to launch it must have our hands inspected for cleanliness...
