Anyone have experience with Stewart System Products for covering your KF 

or Avid. It is water based, therefore less fumes and no solvents or fire 

hazards.I am researching methods. Hype by the manufacturer as cheaper, 

faster , lighter, safer than Stitts method.I was considering Hipec, 

probably easiest, strong without tape or wing stitching but very toxic 

ie isocyanates.Any experience appreciated.

Thanks, Harry Cieslar, Avid Magnum builder, Goderich ,Ontario

I'm painting my CH801 with System Three's Waterborne products, which 

are similar BUT WAY cheaper. The drawback, they probably won't work on

Fabric (WR-LPU that is). However it is possible they might.



Having been an Aerothane junky in the past, I have had many frustrating 

experiences with the waterborne pain(t). In many ways it is nice, since 

it is basically not going to kill you. The bad part is it is touchy to spray

well, too little and it dries instantly and sandy. Too much and it run's 

easily, or if it doesn't run tends to develop what I call "foam". Basically

where air from the gun embeds in the paint and doesn't flow out.



Since my wife won't let me use Aerothane anymore I live with the 

waterborne stuff.



By the way System Three polyurethane is 50% the cost of AFS 



Regards,

Jeff

Harry,



  I'm using the STEWART SYSTEM on my AVID and I love it so far.  There are

at least three others on the field I'm on that have covered with other

brands and they have said they will use STEWART Systems on their next

project.  In fact two of the three are now covering new projects and are

using the STEWART SYSTEM.  There are practically no odors in the glue and it

is MUCH easier to use than STITS.  I had a little trouble getting the spray

gun (and me)tuned, but things are turning out good so far.  I've painted

several small pieces and plan to start on the fuselage and wings in the next

couple of weeks if all goes well.  I went with STEWART SYSTEMS mainly

because it is a non-toxic system.  I hung around their booth at OSH last

year and was sold on the product.  Their instructional videos will certainly

give you enough knowledge to do a good job covering and painting with their

SYSTEM.  If you have any more specific questions please feel free to e-mail

direct and I'll give you my phone number if you wish.  If I were to start

another project tomorrow I would certainly choose the same system agian.
