[NSRCA-discussion] Sheeting

I haven't, but a club member does use it regularly.  He actually had a plane
finished that way at a club meeting 2 days ago.  He said it is easy to use,
and dries fast.  His only concern was being a water based product is that he
found it could warp thin unsupported sheeting.  Probably not an issue on
foam wings but possibly on an open bay structure if using 1/16 inch
sheeting.  The plane he brought in was a Top Flight P-39 and he used epoxy
to fiberglass the wing and the Minwax product on the fuse.  That's about all
I know :-)

I have heard that using Minwax(r) Polycrylic(r) instead of epoxy when
sheeting a wing/fuse is better than finishing epoxy over the fiberglass. No
odor, dries fast, less cost, water cleanup. Add a little talc and it sands
very well. Has anyone tried this?
