Well, I opened my most recent can of Brodak clear, poured out some for thinning and was surprised that it had a rusty red tint to it. I called Brodak and was told by a gentleman by the name of Tom that they had gotten their last drum in (He said that it was from Certified) and noticed the same thing; nice that Brodak didn't let me know. I stated that although it was probable okay for finishing, there was no way that I would use it for my final top coat. His solution was for me to use the Brodak Crystal Clear, to which I replied that was not an option due to the high cost. I looked at both the Certifed and Randolph dopes sold by Aircraft Spruce and saw only blue and tan tinted dopes. Things don't make sense, and believe that a change is in order. I would like to try Randolph dopes, but do know if there are compatibility issues with Brodak dopes, as well as using my 3608S thinner with it. Any thoughts would be welcomed. By the way, Randolph dopes are substantially cheaper than Brodak. Don't bother mentioning Sig; as usual, they are out with clear currently on back order.
Best regards,Brew
