I need to recover my Flybaby. I have researched latex in depth but
was interested in other methods from the past. Please don't bother with the debate about non standard experimental methods. I understand that one of the fine approved methods are excellent. I want to experiment and brainstorm options and I'm cheap and broke due to the Wall Street thieves. Here are some basic ideas. No cyanide fumes, epoxies, chemicals requiring fresh air supply, and the general cancer causing substances that pass as homebuilder friendly. Benign cleanup of water or varsol paint thinners to avoid nasty solvents. Life's short enough without all that crap. No Haz- Mat shipping. Available locally at paint, industrial, and home stores preferred. Brush and roller friendly. Standard dacron non-cert fabric from a homebuilder supplier. Might have access to some powdered aluminum for UV protection, more than willing to paint with a silver topcoat like Tremclad (believe it gets its shine from aluminum already). Willing to consider one seal coat of water borne STC approved product if not horribly expensive. Simple 2 colour scheme, maybe aluminum silver with flat black accents in a British between war military look. Or classic fuselage one colour wings another with matching metal fittings. Once read a writeup by Veeduber about alternatives like varnish but can't find it now. I'm wondering about latex primer base with oil based enamel silver top coat? I would prefer to avoid a latex top coat. Any ideas or past experience welcome, both successful and not. |
