Mga Bossing at Beterano sa Modelling,

Saklolo!!!

I am looking for a reliable High-Gloss Polyurethane, preferably water-based, that I can use to overcoat handcrafted wood and plastic airplane models. The last one I tried didn't cure even after 5 days, and others caused yellowing. I don't want to import, and I'd rather get them by quarts/gallons rather than in spray cans. Can anyone help?

Salamat po sa tulong na maibibigay ninyo.

Andrew O.

Hallo! Hmm... di ako sigurado kung pwede yung Tamiya gloss coat and/or Topcoat by Mr. Color. We use this on our plastic models and it stood the test of time Available nga lang sila in cans.

Hi Shonen,

Oo nga, perfect sana ang Tamiya Clear. Sobrang mahal lang, you pay mostly for the aerosol packaging. Para bang in cans vs. PET bottle.

Ayaw ng bos ko na mag-import kami.

Susubok kami ng water-based Polyurethane, pero wala din kaming makita dito - puro 2-part Polyurethane.

Thanks anyway!

Andrew
