<DIV> Thanks Chris that was my thinking, I was going to originally sand it all but that's very time consuming and lacquer gums up sandpaper very bad. My main concern was I didn't want to hurt the fiberglass, carbon, and epoxy on the fuse. If the "gelcoat" is an enamel or polyu, the lacquer thinner won't do much to it. More testing and then I'll run with it. By the way cotton balls work great for this they suck up alot of paint and are cheap.</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2>Steve:<BR> Most fuses don't have an actual gel coat but just a coat of primer which the thinner might attack. A true gel coat is tough like a normal resin coat and should be ok against thinner but I have never seen a model fuse with a true gel coat. I would lightly wipe off what you can of the lustercoat with the thinner and wet sand the rest.<BR><BR>Chris<BR><BR>Steven Maxwell wrote:

<DIV>Will laquer thinner attack gelcoat? The test I have done show it takes very little gelcoat off. Reason for asking is I'm about to strip a plane that is painted with Topflight Lustrekote and repaint with PPG.</DIV>
