What I associate with failure on clears are chalking, yellowing, blistering, peeling, and crackling, caused by weather extremes, sun damage, incompatability, pollution, cleaning etc. Will the salt water soak prove longevity against any of them? Laboratories use sophisticated systems to expose mater...

Saltwater is a catalisator for the oxidation process of copper or any other metall.
So if the clear wouldn't hold up outside, you can probably increase your testing speed.
Instead of hanging it up 2 years outside, you can test it for two weeks in salt water.

what he said.....

Ismael, 2 weeks to test for reliability is not sufficient. Either you rely personal experience from past work for products standing up to the elements, test for prolonged periods - 6 months or longer - or rely on recommendations from others that absolutely know that it will not fail. 2 weeks under ...

How about a 2k polyurethane clearcoat on a rattle can? yeah it sounds weird but they do exist.... or Permalac or a rattle can too? or maybe plain old enamel in a rattle can? I once made a test of 2 weeks on salt watter, it held up pretty good for those 2 weeks

Hi Ismael, You are right that formalin (formaldehyde) and hydrazine both reduce the silver faster than sugar (dextrose, grape sugar, table sugar etc.) and so they are both used for spraying . Mrs King I hope I dont' bother you with my questions Please.... :( I have seen all of the MSDS of your very...

I viewed the youtube video about spray on chrome. Looked great to me until I heard the price, about 10,000.00 for the system. just ask yourself...Why would you pay 1,500$ for Walther Pilot two componet spray gun, when you can pay about 300 for a paasche silvering Gun? why would you pay 1000$+ for a...

Hi Ismael, On a related note, you can spray on the silver with ordinary hand-held spray bottles - you do not need to have a dual-nozzle gun and an air compressor. Just be sure that the bottles are all plastic or all stainless steel. Any other metal, such as brass, will seriously interfere with the ...
