Good info, Allan. I did a dry test this afternoon on a piece of monokote
film around 3:00 P.M. and as of 9:00 P.M. it's totally dry sitting on a
bench top in my workroom at 73 degrees F. It may be a useable product but
there seems to be some less than totally desireable characteristics associated
with it's application so I think that I'll just go with the proven material
for the peace of mind it affords.
<br>Thanks,
<br>Georgie

painting a plane with Formual U. Probably will not use it again as
the paint has gone out of production. Was told this by Tower and
the manufacturer, Midwest. It is mighty hard to get the colors you
want. Make sure you have some extra for repairs before starting.
When I initially used the paint from out of the can, many years ago, it
took forever to cure. I later found it would cure faster if thinned.
Recently I borrowed a can from a buddy. It cured well without thinning.
Maybe the formulation was changed. Never had any problem with the
paint from spray cans except for it clogging up inside the can if the paint
is old. Formula U does take a while to cure. Read the instructions
and then add a couple extra days more.</font></font>

of clear coats. I just tried the new clearcoat by Ultracoat.
It sprays on smooth and coated very well with very little weight gain.
However it dried slow and actually yellowed somewhat. I assume this
a is a urethane type clearcoat. Thank goodness most of my paint scheme
is yellow so it matched up pretty good. But on anything up against
white film it looks yellowed.</font></font></font>

<br><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>Need a little
feedback from the group about Aero-Gloss formula-U. This</font></font></font>

urethane paint, but differs from the stuff that Tony</font></font></font>

it is a no mix catalyzed material. Has anyone had</font></font></font>

this product? Would you advise as to the downside of the</font></font></font>

some of the stuff on hand and was wondering if I will</font></font></font>

<br>
<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>Yeah, Georgie,
I used the stuff 20+ years ago</font></font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>to paint my
flight box. It took about 3 days to dry on bare wood. It isn't</font></font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>catalyzed in
the typical sense; there's no additive catalyzer, in other words.</font></font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>Good ol' air
dry does the trick. But it took maybe a month or maybe more before</font></font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>the paint was
really fully set</font></font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>The paint has
stood up well over the years,</font></font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>but it won't
stand up to pure fuel exposure for prolonged periods, but then</font></font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>again, not much
of what we have today does. Where's the KB epoxy paint when you</font></font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>need it? Am
still using the box today and has not been repainted, but could use</font></font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>a fresh coat</font></font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>Anyway, around
same time frame, I painted</font></font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>iron-on
fabric covered airframe with the paint and found it to be heavier</font></font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>than what we
have today. That could have been as much technique as paint. The</font></font></font>
