A search for Lustercoat and Rustoleum should bring up answers you might be looking for. DOC Holliday
Yes, I did that early on. One of the problems with searches here and "other forums" is that creative folks, like modelers, are often not bothered much by trivial spelling issues -- particularly the exact names of products. For example,
LustreKote (correct spelling and caps) may start out "Luster . . ." or "Lustre . . ."; the seventh letter may be "c", "C", "k", or "K"; the ending may be ". . . ote" or ". . . oat". Fortunately, the search engine here isn't case sensitive, which helps a tad.
Anyway, I have a two-year-old red Rust-Oleum stabilizer, and I have started a "fast" test "sandwich" of black LustreKote, Brodak white film covering (windex method), trim tape, and clear LustreKote over the whole thing. I'll report adhesion results Monday.
A better description than a "fast" test might be a "half-fast" test, as time saved is only the initial Rust-Oleum curing. Also, "half-fast" (pronounced phonetically) is a better descriptor of the value of the results, for seven or eight reasons, which you can probably figure out. Besides, the test will only prove
at best that it is or is not a
potential solution, rather than if it is a viable solution.
