Clear Coat

[Ted Sander]

This isn't a pattern ship!  Heavy sealing is good - multiple coats, or fewer
heavy coats.  I just did mine straight out of the can (K&B, I think).  The
resin self levels, so no brush marks.  You can almost spray the (empty!) box
off with a garden hose to get all the dirt and sand out that accumulates
over the years.  The resin may have darkened in the sun, but since I used a
dark stain, anyway, I can't tell.  Might be an issue on light stains.

Of course, you do have to put up with the smell!

Thanks Ted, I hadn't given that one much thought but at least it could be
brushed on. Probably thin it way down and make it with 2 coats.

Good Ol' polyester resin - 15 yrs and still going strong.  Haven't tried the
newer water based versions for fuel proofing.

I just stained a new flight box and was thinking of a clear coat that would
be best to use. Minwax polyurethane on a test piece of wood gummed up
immediately when some fuel was applied, not good!!  Any helpful ideas would
be appreciated on what has been used that's fuel proof.

 

Thanks,
