BTW: MEK is only the cleaning solvent. I'm pretty darn sure that none of the poly-fiberpoly-tone products use MEK in the coatings.--------Kevin "Axel" PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

not the finish=2C but the cement is MEK based!! That is why I am using Stewart Systems cement to cover=2C even though I am using dope for the finish. Stewart even blessed me doing that=2C said dope wont hurt the glue. And I thought they would say I had to use their finishes . . . Gene Rambo> Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Paint discussion ad nauseum

Is the Stewert System glue particular about the varnish that is used under it? My son-in-law owns the Benjamin Moore paint store in town and recommended a fancy water based varnish that has very high UV protection and is super easy to use, glossy and totally waterproof...but very expensive. Started using it on the interior of the fuselage where I will not be able to get to later on.Ray KrauseSky Scout ----- Original Message -----

No=2C the Stewart glue won't touch anything at all. I used Helmsman semi-gloss poly varnish throughout=2C and the Stewart does not do anything to it=2C nor does nitrate thinner. I think only MEK (and therefore MEK-based Super Seam cement) will llift this stuff. I bought a quart of the expensive two-part epoxy varnish from AS&S that I am not going to use. Never opened. Anyone want to buy it off of me at a discount to get some of my money back??Gene

Gene,Thanks for the response on the nails and the varnish. The loosening of nails in the leading edge makes sense. But if the leading edge is glued and nailed, it seems that the movement would be pretty minimal...guess not. Back to varnishing!Thanks again,Ray Krause ----- Original Message -----
