Default RE: Rust-Oleum?

Since my 2/25/08 post I have let my test panel set. Now I again tried raw fuel on the gloss clear and satin clear. I used 30 percent nitro fuel this time. After setting for 4 more weeks the clear gloss now does not seem to be affected by the raw fuel. I believe it is comletely fuel proof. The satin clear did not gum up or anything but the dirt from the dirty rag I was using to clean the raw fuel off seemed to get into the roughness of the satin clear. I was not using any cleaner with the rag. I then cleaned the satin with windex and a paper towel and the dirt came out but I believe the fuel affected the sating a little. Seems to have more shine and not as clean as before the raw fuel was put on it.

My conclusion is I believe the gloss clean is fuel proof after several (more than 2) weeks but the satin clean may not be. I would suggest testing the satin clear on a test panel before using it on an airplane.
