Rust-o-Leum tacky
« on: October 02, 2012, 08:37:03 PM »
Never had a lot of trouble with this type of paint. I just used some to touch up a old Bi-Slob. Not sure what the plane was painted with before. Might be dope not sure?

Any thing I can spray on it to make it cure?

i would put it in the warm sun and let it bake a bit, see if it cures some more. Not much you can do after it is on and partly cured.  worse comes to worse strip it off and repaint the area.

Paul I had the same problem with Rust-o-leum on a Twister but there was no finish underneath it. I followed Alan Brickhaus' directions, and per Al Rabe I made sure the can was warm.  It went on beautifully, but came off in sheets when I removed the masking tape the trim.  My AMA number on the Ultracote stayed on and looked great, but the fuse was a trial in patience.   It has been 6 months and it is now very stable and looks good, but I've never flown it or put trim on it. Sorry I don't have an answer, but hope it helps that "I feel your pain!"

Maybe you need some heat to help it cure.   Remember K&B Epoxy?   A gentleman that used to be  my racing pilot built a small plane, then proceeded to spray with the K&B Epoxy paint.   He forgot the hardener.   Being it was summer time, he put it in the back seat of his car with the windows rolled up.   A few hours later it was cured hard as a rock.

I sprayed some over glued on fiberglass on a profile fuselage repair.  The glue-Rustoleum mix stayed tacky for over a month but did eventually cure.  You will most likely be fine if you can wait.
