<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Concept is an "industrial" product not "Commercial". There are different sets of rules (like OSHA monitoring) for industrial....that is why technically we as modelers should not possess Concept..we are commercial. But, no problem buying the stuff from the local car paint guys.....no questions asked. And as everyone knows...we as modelers <i>deserve </i>the best....</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">"Banned" paints such as the K&B epoxy had nothing to do with the organic epoxy matrix or solvents...it was banned because th K&B formula was very old and used "newly" restricted heavy metal pigments.....Lead yellow, Cadmium red etc. The epoxy portion was run of the mill epoxy cured with polyamide (which is why the white always yellowed). K&B in their financial state must have chosen not to reinvest in new formulas, which by the way were produced by Deft I do beleive.</font>

Now I can sleep again with the belief that I might still live to see another day :-) I just finished painting a turtledeck, cowl and pants for my 35% EDGE, THEN I read all these 'your gonna die" posts on here, talk about a reason to lose sleep ;-) Figured, I did paint it outside on a breezy day and stood upwind so I wouldn't coat my glasses and used an HVLP gun at about 35psi. <br>
<br>
Anyhow, I do believe that some folks are allergic to this Concept stuff, just like CA glues cause some serious discomfort and nasal trauma for many many modelers.<br>
<br>
BTW, I hope the government doesnt try to protect us from ourselves again by banning PPG Concept paint. I have NEVER ever used a better paint and RC Flying Colors matched the Ultracote colors (3) perfectly. Throw enough money at something and it just might turn out right, eh?<br>
