So care to elaborate on the "Tests that I have seen show that it takes about 5mm of UV protecting paint over the whole surface." test data who, what, where? I see that you have a new gig selling paint? Now that you insinuated that our airplanes are getting UV damage under the paint what is your agenda? The sky is falling and plastic airplanes that do not have PTI paint are slowly turning to dust? Please clarify your input on UV damage.

[0.1969 to be precise) Passed lab testing with top grade test equipment ( by a technical college) exposing painted epoxy part to heat, rain, and UV equivalent to 10 years outdoors on a Florida ramp. This is with specific paint produced by PTI ( a mil spec aircraft paint company). The paint was applied to a specially prepared mold, and the fiberglass was then vacuum infused to the finish in a test program. The result was an extremely light weight simulated wing skin that demonstrated 95% reflectivity. Work is on going to demonstrate both how thin the paint can safely be done, and to create a usable full scale airfoil that comes out of the mold pre painted that matches the best current paint job. We expect to be ready by Spring 2012. -- Larry Severson 18242 Peters Ct Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Quickie Builders Association WEB site http://www.quickiebuilders.org Yahoo!
