Pietenpol-List: Staining Longerons

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By:
Hi GuysIve got a weeks holidays comming up, and am going to use it building my fusewoodwork. I've been thinking of using Minwax on the longerons andcrossmembers to get the cockpit to match the planed color scheme. My owntests have shown no problem with glueing strength (T88 and LePages Epoxy),and weight increase on a 12" x1"x1" could not be measured on a postal scale.Anyone have experience with longer term or hi temp effects of using stain ?All the wood aircraft I have ever seen are varnish only, so am I missingsomething, or just the only one nutty enough to think of it ?Mike----- Original Message -----________________________________________________________________________________
