FLOAT LACQUER
USE:
Float Lacquer is a time-honored silver coating for aircraft floats. Although it can be applied by brush, it is more suitable for spraying. Float Lacquer is a classic, low-tech way of coating floats. Although its service life is far less than today's polyurethanes, its ease of application and repair make it a useful product. Apply over epoxy-primed metal or over old float lacquer.
PACKAGING:
Quarts, gallons, 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums.
SHELF LIFE:
One year in un-opened containers.
COVERAGE:
225 square feet per gallon.
MIXING:
Stir thoroughly before use. Insure all the silver is in suspension.
THINNING:
Thin one to one with 286 Nitrate Thinner.
APPLICATION - Stripped or Bare Aluminum: Use phosphoric acid etch and conversion coating. (See acids section) Prime with epoxy primer. When dry, scuff with an ultra-fine Scotch-Brite pad clean well, then spray three coats of 1:1 thinned float lacquer.
APPLICATION - Old Float Lacquer: Clean well, scuff with an ultra-fine Scotch-Brite pad, and spray float lacquer as required for cosmetics. Can be brushed, although spraying results in a better coating
