Hi guys,



I’ve posted this as perhaps something good to know. Fall warmth is spent 

and I’ve been holding off finish painting the fuselage as temps drop off 

into the 50s. I’m using AFS paints and had concern for the flammability 

of water thinned paint. After speaking with Hangar 21, I learned that 

the paint was formally flash tested by spraying the 2-part paint 

directly across the open flame of a tank heater. It wouldn’t generate a 

fire. This was good news as I have a furnace in the garage and was able 

to continue to spray in my booth and hold things at the required 70 to 

85 degrees.



I was also advised that AFS primer would not be forgiving of spraying in 

proximity of an open flame or furnace, but I am finally done with primer.



Have a good one,

I have been thinking about the same thing recently as it is time to fire up the house furnace and I work in the basement.  Would you assume the concern over potentially explosive primer applies to other "rattle can" primers, such as the NAPA primer some folks have had good luck with?

Another thing to keep in mind with the furnace running is that the fumes 

will be distributed throughout the house...learned that one the hard way.

Painters



Don't overlook a gas water heater as an excellent ignition source for

solvent fumes.  The flame is near floor level, even better than a furnace

for igniting those heavier than air build ups of fumes.  If you forget to

completely seal a container it may work in a  delayed mode.
