Alclad II Lacquer Question ???
« 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 ?

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.
