Default RE: The Pepsi Challenge for Covering Balsa with LS

After about 45 minutes I put a second coat on the planks. After that I checked back on the stuff about an hour and half latter. As advertised it was dry to touch but still very flexible like latex paint. This morning I got up and checked it out. Completely dry from what I can tell and very smooth finish.
While I’m waiting on the LS product to arrive from WOWplanes I’m going to try the following things.
1. Apply the product with a non foam brush
2. Allow the applied product to sit for 24 hour 48 hours and then 7 days and sand
3. Paint with good old rattle can paint (I usually use latex on my warbirds)


Here are the photos of the sanded and non sanded planks from this morning after 2 coats. By the way a little goes a very long way.
