Title: Clear spray can & fuel test results
Post by: Terry Caron on November 24, 2015, 02:01:25 PM

F everyone's I, after 2 days cure time over homemade inkjet decals, a heavy coat of either Miracal Premium clear enamel (Co-op) or Plaid Patricia Nimocks Clear Acrylic Sealer (craft store) are proof against 15% nitro for at least 10 minutes.
Be sure there are no pinholes in the clear coat.
Seems they ought to be okay if Windexed after each flight.

May be extreme, but after 2 weeks cure, both sprays exhibited severe wrinkling following a fresh drop of raw fuel every 10 mins for ~40 mins.

Terry,

I've been using the 2K Spray Max. On four model so far.

And will use that product on my next model also.


I've had great results with the 2K Spray Max clear.

It's USC 3680061 2K GLAMOUR HIGH GLOSS CLEAR - I found it on eBay for ~$22 incl shipping.
Reports indicate it may be the best on the market for fuel-proofing but, with a "shelf life" of only 48 hours after activation, I'm waiting for a major clearcoating operation before I try it.
The sprays noted above are cheap, easily obtainable and I'm only "spot coating" over small decals.
