Skip,I agree with Mike. You might be able to find a clear coating that has enough UVabsorbers to stop yellowing in the coating, but it may not be enough to protectthe wood. The only way to know for sure is to test each coating, a time consumingand costly process. It would be better to use a wood that would not beas prone to yellowing, such as Ash or Maple.Rick Schreiber----- Original Message -----

Thanks for all the responses. I checked out all the web sights and may do sometests later on the bleaching. For my Piet sticks I will use Osage orange wood,cover it with some spar urethane I found that claims "exceptional protectionfrom sunlight" and just not worry about it. It will take a year or two to completethe plane and if they are too dark by then, I can always make new controlsticks out of Ash. The attached picture doesn't really show how bright a yellowthis wood is, it is almost iridescent.Skip----- Original Message -----

Skip. Have you given any thought to making a "sock" to cover the control stick when it's not in use?Gene ----- Original Message -----

Gary,I cut them out of 1/8" polycarbonate and cemented and patched over with Stuart Systems cement. There are small pre-drilled holes so I can add a plastic/leather hood. I had the polycarbonate stock on hand, plus I drink Fishermans Brew and it only comes in bottles.Regards.Tom BernieGloucester, MassOn Dec 3, 2008, at 7:26 PM, Gary Boothe wrote:> >>> Tom,>> That looks really clean, but I'm having difficulty making out > exactly what> that is, other than it does not appear to be a Coke can!>> Gary Boothe> Cool, Ca.> Pietenpol> WW Corvair Conversion> Tail done, working on fuselage (endless metal parts!)> (12 ribs down.)>> -----Original Message-----
