Hi;

     I very seldom post here. I guess I don't really know why either. Here goes. I discovered something the other day that had me a little burned. Remember Colors By Boyd ( Testors )Clear Gloss? I hve some old Testors regular Label Clear Gloss and some old Bottles of Pactra Clear Gloss.

      Here's the point .Two bottles of my Boyds Clear have yellowed in the bottle .At least one of the regular Testors MM series has too.The Pactra? Forty Five years old and still as clear as the water in my Brita@ Pitcher. 

     None have seen the light of day since I purchased them. They have always been kept in a cool dark place. Mainly the tool file type box they went in when home. Never in Severe heat or Freezing conditions either.

     It makes me wonder, How many formulas do they use? Tanker-Builder

 I always liked the Pactra line of paints, I always thought they just had a little " something" over testors. I though Model Master enamels to be more like Pactra than plain Testor's enamels. Now I have to wonder.
