Tom,

If it were an Isocyanate hardener it would say it on the can. The only reason I asked was that if it is, it is a BIG keep it out of confined spaces or not well ventilated. We had many people end up on oxygen because of that type of material. I just don't want to see anyone get sick that's all.

Nice looking planes by the way!

I don't have any on hand, so I can't check. Since it has little odor, I'm guessing that it is for home usage, where caution sometimes is neglected.

If I'm correct, the Isocrylate hardener has a distinct smell. Even days later, it can provide a good headache.

I believe, but I am not positive, that these are two different items.

I did find a can in the shop. While I didn't see the product referred to as an isocyanate, the label does say not to use it if you have allergies to them.

From that, I would assume that it is an isocyanate.

From here forward, I will refrain from suggesting the use of this product for modelers.

I would refrain from using products with isocyanates. You need to have a respirator and full body protection with this chemical, in addition to a spray booth with filters.

I have found Rustoleum, "except for silver", to be good for gasoline powered planes. I found out the hard way that the silver (not metallic) but just silver aluminum Rustoleum paint from the spray can is not fuel proof.

According to the MSDS, it has isocyanates.

Painting with isocyananates requires a supplied air respirator, or a good dose of luck in not being allergic. You never know if you are and can just become allergic one day after exposure.

I love Rustoleum and yes, do use primer. I've used it on ever plane I've had except one - that was Top Flight and before I found Rustoleum was so much cheaper.
