can anyone tell me what to fuel proof my gremlin with i have H2O Krylon paint but not sure if this will protect it or not


please help me
thanks

I can tell you that the Varathane diamond water based polyurathane will make foam fuel proof, that is what i use on the pink stuff before i use normal spray bombs on it, so far it stands up to 10% omega.

thanks for the info what do you do if you want to leave part of it the orginal color like white what do you put on it??
thanks

The Krylon works just fine....but it will kinda dissolve over time, if you don't wipe it down after flying. By the way.......... the Foam, by itself is very fuelproof.

hsink,

Most guys use colored tape or econokote (or towerkote) over the Bi-Di tape to fuel-proof their planes. Another option is to cover the entire wing in Bi-Di tape so all of the foam and ailerons are covered. This is how we build our Battle Axes.

If you're going to use colored tape or econokote, I am personally partial to econokote becuase it is seamless and shrinks easily with low heat, but a lot of guys like the packing tape.

Note that adding either the econokote or colored tape over the Bi-Di will add a couple of ounces.

Well the pink styrofoam will actually not melt from the glow fuel, it just soaks in, the varathane i suggested above will seal the foam and also allows you to use spray paint that would eat the foam if there was no sealer, i usually use 2 coats of the varathane before spraying. The varathane dries clear-kinda cloudy so you could put this over the white foam and it will still look white.
