| Matt Tufcote really is an excellent fuelproofer, I use it all the time, well almost, I did try polyurethane varnish once but that was a disaster! The only problem with it is that it isn’t a true matt finish; it is more a dull satin and this may not be correct for some military type aircraft.
You can buy “matting agent” from good automotive paint suppliers (that’s the sediment that settles to the bottom) and I would consider adding some more to the Tufcote if you need a true matt finish. You would need to do some experimenting to find the right proportions and of course also check that it’s still fuel-proof!
If anyone tries or has already done this please let us know the results, I for one would be very interested. |
