Default RE: Solartex



I emailed BUSA on the best way to protect as I will be using solartex for the first time.... They reccomended to me a couple very light coats of a minwax water based polyurethane.

I posted this link to them: http://paint-and-supplies.hardwarest...in-266510.aspx

And the reply was:

That&rsquo;s the stuff!!</p>

We use the same thing and have had very good luck with it, I believe you can get it in gloss, semi-gloss, and flat what ever is appropriate for the aircraft you&rsquo;re modeling.</p>

Just remember it only takes a couple of light coats. Don&rsquo;t but it on all thick and heavy not only that just added weight but if applied to thickly it can yellow the white! NOT GOOD!
