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

Marv

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

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  :P  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.
