Default Powder Coat or Paint

Richard,

Would epi-bond + LPU be a sound way to refinish aluminum masts or
somethin' else ?

What does it cost and where have you gotten the best price ?

Thanks,
Courtney


Any aircraft supply. Check the yellow pages for a local #.

Aircraft Spruce, of course, but I prefer to do business at Wicks
when I can. Nice people and fewer order mishaps (by far).

This might just take you right to it, if it doesn't wrap...

Aircraft Spruce lists the reducer (thinner).

one note: after mixing, allow to stand for 15 minutes or so to "gell"
before spraying.

Sorry I can't quote square foot coverage.
We tend to do lots of small parts, or very skinny tube frames.
Lot's of spray waste even with HVLP.
On the other hand, it covers really well.

You'll have to help me out with LPU.
I know a bunch of Las, and a few LFLAs, but LPU escapes me...

I'd highly recommend Epibond (white) or RandoPlate (green) for
any and all aluminum used aboard - salt water on not.

Use a wet-look urethane top paint for shiny things, or base coat/clear
coat if you want.
