Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2008 4:40 pm Post subject: Lacquer thinners

can somebody give me an explanation of what "lacquer thinners" are - I know if I ask the guy at the auto shop here he probably won't know what I mean and I know most of you guys in the USC will be shutting down soon . 

 

I am assuming it is the thinners for auto paint (not enamel or Urethane) ?? 

 

Friday here so I want to get it for the weekend. 

 

regards

If you go to your local hardware or paint store you  will find gallon cans(or qts) marked" Laquer Thinner".  It is a common  item. Larry

You can get "lacquer thinner" at most hardware stores, but like the  

one poster said make sure of what it is (or something like that). I  

don't know what that means except to be sure you read the label. I  

figured that lacquer thinner was lacquer thinner, but maybe they are  

not all created equally. Sorry I can't be more helpful, Gary. Maybe  

you should just bite the bullet and get that one gallon that Aviaquip  

offered. As far as my own experience is concerned, the stuff lasts  

for a long time in the tightly-sealed can, so it won't go to waste.  

The Polytone reducer is formulated for application in either cooler  

or warmer temperatures, and comes in different part numbers depending  

on the temperature of the air when it is applied.



A question: are you using the Polytone to paint your wheels pants? Is  

that why you're looking for Polytone reducer? If so, that's the wrong  

stuff to use on hard surfaces, I was told. I was just putting 2 and 2  

together, and thought you might be painting your wheel pants...if  

not, I'll keep quiet. : )

Larry - are you in Australia ? 

 

Trouble here is many of these terms aren't recognized here. If I know what sort of paints the Lacquer thinners reduce I could explain to the rep

I work in the home improvement industry.  (paint  contractor) The Lacquer thinner you buy at paint stores and Big box stores  stinks less then the kind you buy at automotive stores. It seems as the stuff at  Auto stores or auto refinish shops is stronger. Just my professional  opinion.  Steve Bennett

Lynn - you are dead right it is for the wheel pants. I have had pretty good success in the past with polytone on Fibreglass (even though it's not really recommended). I think the biggest problem is the bond and in the past I have applied a light primer coat and while it's still "just" tacky I applied the Polytone.

Sorry Gary.Didn't catch that. Maybe I could take  the formulation off the can and post it. Laquer thinner is a combination of an  assortment of thinners that might be available to you. Would that  help?    Larry

That's exactly what I was told to do and did, when it came time to  

spray my flaperon hinge brackets. I knew that they would eventually  

be attached to the wing and then shot with Polytone, so I did the  

Polybrush "tacky", then shot with Polyspray and eventually Polytone.  

However, reading (sometimes my worst enemy) the literature, I chose  

to shoot larger metal and fiberglas parts with Polyfiber Enamel.



I was wondering what Wayne had to say...thanks for keeping up with it.



One small thought about getting the gallon of Polytone reducer...if  

you have the left-over sitting on your shelf, you'll probably never  

need to use it, but if you don't have any sitting around....look out  

for small accidents, hangar rash, etc...it's a take-off on Murphy's  

Law. : )

 Re: Lacquer thinnersLink 

     

 

 

Thanks Lynn 

 

I have never used the Polyfiber enamel - does it have a low gloss like the Polytone? - As I have only under-coated so far I have time to get some enamel. 

 

I don't want to end up with high gloss wheel pants. 

 

At the moment they are fitted and I went for a brief flight yesterday (including some long grass taxiing) and all appeared OK. 

 

One thing I did notice is that it's now quite difficult to get into the plane  so I am considering a step mounted to the gear leg. 

 

What did you do with yours? 

 

Regards 

 

Gary

You'll have to add Polyfiber's Flattener, which according to their  

rep is merely baby powder...or is it talcum powder?....in a fluid. I  

got the real stuff rather than experiment, but then I'm closer to the  

source than you. Want me to get some and send it to your Ontario office?



I didn't do anything...oh, wait, you've got the tube and bungee gear,  

which is taller than the Grove. Short guys like me NEED the Grove  

gear to facilitate egress and degress (or whatever  gettin'  in and  

gettin' out means in big words).



Lucky you, I just happen to have part #63900.000...Landing gear  

step...in my hot little hands. They are nothing more than a 1/8"  

aluminum angle, 1 1/2" wide on both flanges, and 7" long, bent to a  

76.5° (or so) angle, instead of the normal 90°. These would be easy  

for you to make over there, but they're yours for the asking. If  

you've got some way to get them from your Canadian address to  

Aussieland, I'll send them along. I could even include a splash of  

the flattener...not much of the stuff is needed. Let me know, maybe  

by direct email?

 Thanks Lynn



 I have never used the Polyfiber enamel - does it have a low gloss  

 like the Polytone? - As I have only under-coated so far I have time  

 to get some enamel.



 I don't want to end up with high gloss wheel pants.



 At the moment they are fitted and I went for a brief flight  

 yesterday (including some long grass taxiing) and all appeared OK.



 One thing I did notice is that it's now quite difficult to get into  

 the plane  so I am considering a step mounted to the gear leg.



 What did you do with yours?



 Regards



 Gary

 Re: Lacquer thinners



 



 That's exactly what I was told to do and did, when it came time to

 spray my flaperon hinge brackets. I knew that they would eventually

 be attached to the wing and then shot with Polytone, so I did the

 Polybrush "tacky", then shot with Polyspray and eventually Polytone.

 However, reading (sometimes my worst enemy) the literature, I chose

 to shoot larger metal and fiberglas parts with Polyfiber Enamel.



 I was wondering what Wayne had to say...thanks for keeping up with it.



 One small thought about getting the gallon of Polytone reducer...if

 you have the left-over sitting on your shelf, you'll probably never

 need to use it, but if you don't have any sitting around....look out

 for small accidents, hangar rash, etc...it's a take-off on Murphy's

 Law. : )

Hi Lynn. 

 

As always, thanks a lot! 

 

I'll manufacture the steps here and save you the hassles. I'll also check with Aviaquip here and see if they the flattening agent etc as I will have to buy the paint from them anyway. 

 

How  are the engine repairs coming along? 

 

best regards

You're welcome, Gary.

The cleanup of parts continues, and I have ordered parts, including a  

new crankshaft. There was just a little too much rubbing on the nose  

of the crank that had happened when the gear teeth got between the  

crank and the cam gears, and I wasn't comfortable with the way it  

looked. I'll keep the old crank and maybe get some help locally to  

see if a new design could be made that uses a less-fragile crank  

gear. Pete (Jab dealer in Tennessee) told me he had 2 crankshafts in  

stock, and most of the other parts....valves, guides, o-ring set,  

etc,....but not the gear case cover that I will need. Actually, that  

is almost the last part to be installed, so I could completely  

reassemble the engine while I wait for that to arrive. I need to  

contact Pete to see the time schedule for parts to get here.

Posted: Mon Aug 18, 2008 2:54 pm Post subject: Lacquer thinners

I'm glad they had the majority of parts in stoke - I spoke with Pete a few years ago and he seemed pretty knowledgeable on Jab engines. 

 

I'm going to be in Salt lake City next week - does anybody know if there's any good Pilot supply shops there? 

 

best regards

They had everything but the cam gear, the gear case cover, and one  

distributor gear and shaft. So $2900 later, and some more waiting, my  

main parts will be sent/were sent today. So I'll be able to at least  

put the crankcase halves together, the cylinders on, get the heads  

done and on, etc. In other words, the whole engine except for the  

timing gears and case cover.
