scale only 4 me, I appreciate the tips on using the System 3 clear. I have two planes that are at this stage now (latex painted) and I am going to order some and give it a try. One is a glow plane, one gas. I guess it does not matter, as apparently this stuff will stand up to either.

I checked the System 3 web site, and found it is cheaper to order 8 cans of the 4 oz stuff plus a bottle of cross linker than it is to order the 1 quart "kit" that includes the cross linker. It is $52.85 vs. $59. Seems odd. Should I order maybe 4 of the 4 oz. size and a bottle of cross linker? What is the shelf life of this stuff? Once painted on, is this product really resistant to yellowing? Most of my projects are color trims over white, and yellowing PU is just not a good option for me. I need crystal clear as much as possible
