Sorry for a duplicate post, but my server has had a recent seizure and wasacting strange lately.I asked this question a couple days ago, saw no response. With the recentbout of dyslexia that my computer has had, I may have missed any response.(Or I may have bad breath and no one wants to talk to me.) Anyway, I'll tryagain... just in case.Question previously asked...I am using the polyfiber varnish combo EV-400 and EV410 catalyst for thefinal pre-cover coating of my tailfeathers. The instructions on the canmention a 30 minute (or 1 hr in humid conditions) wait after mixing for"induction" before application. I mixed up a batch waited about 10 minutes.I then varnished the vert stab, both elevators, the rudder and then thehoriz stab (in that order). All from the same batch.The next day everything but the vert stab was perfect. Three days later theVS is still so tacky your finger will stick to it. All else is just right.The ONLY difference I can think of is that I didn't wait a full 30 mins or 1hr before applying the varnish.Has anyone else seen this before? I'm pretty sure that the reducer thatcame with it will take it off with a little elbow grease, but I find itamazing that there was THAT much difference in the results of partsvarnished form the same batch. The time frame is the only variable I cancome up with. What exactly is "induction time"? Could it be somethingelse?By the way, it is now 4 days later, and the one part (VS) is still just assticky as can be.All other parts are perfect and will be covered this weekend.Thanks (again), Bert (who promises not to bore you guys with this questionagain)>________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2000 00:57:52 -0700 (PDT)
