Juice,

Sure, I'm going to post a web page w/pics documenting the test when I finish. No warpage at all with either medium. The balsa was actually 1/16" thick, which is thinner than most applications in my project. I just made a 7 x 7.5 inch frame out of 1/4 x 1/4 stick and sheeted it. I also added a 1/16 x 1/4 inch "rib at the midpoint, making it kind of like 2 rib bays of a wing. This should be very similar to the results of sheeting most wings.

I didn't do anything special to the lacquer version, but the water-based polycrylic one I did. I used Deft lacquer sanding sealer (2 coats) sanding between coats, before applying the WB poly. You can't hardly tell anything has been done to the balsa after the 2 coats, but it makes a difference.

I haven't done a test with straight water on balsa, but that's what you do when you intentionally warp sheeting for turtledecks and such, so I thjnk we all know what that would do.

Got the panel lines, rivets, etc. down now and hope to start shooting the Latex soon. I'll test with Interior Flat and Exterior Satin to see what differences that makes.
