... I'm doing a little experimenting while I'm waiting on the thinner to arrive so that I can strip the paint off my plane. Since I don't intend to install the fuel tanks, I going to use them to test 101 Aluminum adherence to different base coats. On one fuel tank the base coat is Future and on the other fuel tank the base coat is Plastikote Gray Sandable Primer. Both are curing now. I'll apply the 101 to both, let it cure, then put on some masking tape and see if it lifts the paint. The Alclad rep didn't think it would for either base coat, but I need to know for sure - I don't want to go through complete paint removal again! On my actual kit, I will top coat with Future before doing any masking. This little experiment is to simply see how well the Alclad adheres directly to the base coats. If I had some Krylon on hand, I'd experiment with it too.
