He could use Flory Wash.  No solvents involved with that.  Tried it for the first time a couple of months ago on my F-16CJ, and I wondered why I had wasted my time with anything else before that.  The stuff is fantastic.

I second that. No way to do it wrong.

Flory wash, that's a good idea. Yes I'm with you two, I'm a fan of it too, and I agree not much could go wrong over the Alclad. (Other than it might wipe off a little bit funny over the flat (rough) surface.

Never mind my post if it's not too relevent, I'm posting just to try and get active again since my wife's passing . First thread I've seen where it felt like I want to jump in .

I have not tried Flory washes, they look very easy to use. I have a hankering to try pastels though, just cause ! And I have a few sticks of it here that came in an assorted artist kit. So one day I'll mess with that. But what I tend to do is use artist acrylic paints and make a wash from those or use Dunkan water clean up oil stains ( old stock not sure they are even around anymore).

I've watched the Floy videos a few times in the last couple of years on the washes, looks easy enough and non damaging. That said, I have never considered the Alclad flat finish and I'm out of Dulcoat so I've been using Liquitex varnish. And since my wife won't need it where she is at I certainly have enough of it in stock. Good to know about the Alclad.
