Title: Alclad II Lacquer Question ???
Post by: john2 on February 13, 2019, 11:56:15 AM

It has a shelf life, I guess.  I tried to use mine today after it sitting a good while.  It was pretty much like water. 

Guess I need to toss it, right ?

just shake it up. I have Lacquers from them that 10 to 15 years old and they are fine

Did you shake it or stir it really well? Not sure about the Lacquers but all of the Alclad II Enamels I have are years old, some as many as 6 years old, and although they settle and look "clear", a good shaking is all it takes and they are ready to go.

I didn't know that Alclad made enamels?

 :)  thanks for the info.  I did  shake it really well, and it worked, but it was pretty thin.  I had already painted my parts  silver anyway.  But it's ok.
