Pietenpol-List: The Stewart System

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "Jack"
Hi all,-I used the Stewart System and would recommend it. The best thing about it was the fact that it is all water soluble, and everything cleans up with water. During the painting of an airplane from start to finish, one must clean brushes, guns etc countless times. I simply walked over to the sink and turned on the water. No stink, no fumes, no harmful solvents I believe the glue to be superior to the other systems. Watch the YouTube videos that Stewart has posted. Very easy to use. Their final color coats are a true two- part paint system and is equivalent to any polyurethane when cured. No fresh air respirator needed.-Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL.=0A=0A=0A ________________________________________________________________________________

Shad,Yes it is the same. The Stewart Bros bought the AFS line a few years back (four or five) and seem to have taken it to the next level.-john-John HofmannVice-President, Information TechnologyThe Rees Group, Inc.2424 American LaneMadison, WI 53704Phone: 608.443.2468 ext 150Fax: 608.443.2474Email: jhofmann(at)reesgroupinc.comOn Sep 2, 2010, at 7:46 PM, shad bell wrote:> Is stewart system the same as AFS brand Cecobond? Dad used the cecobond, waterbased glue which is now Ecobond I believe. Bluish green in color and can be thinned with water for sealing the weave if desired. Works pretty good, but I am not sure if it is compatible with other paints like dope or polyurethanes. We used latex so the whole process was cleaned up with H2O. It has a good aftertaste when washed down with a cold miller lite as well.> > Shad> > --- On Thu, 9/2/10, helspersew(at)aol.com wrote:>
