How safe is it to carry a pressurised tin of gung? I only ask because it used to be common to see them strapped to the handlebars of enduro bikes. It went out of favour due to the vibration causing t
It would be interesting to know which type of tyre was involved in each of the incidences. The "aircraft" type generally have stiffer walls, despite the ply rating,possibly resulting those staying mo
Agreed. But it also depends on the depth o any "contamination". I have no clues on that, only it is probably very small given that the permeability of epoxy is low. Duncan Mcf scuff sanding existing
Your useful tests confirm the theory. Otherwise, although the water test is common, I'd be reluctant to use it other than for developing a cleaning procedure. This is because the presence of even sma
Ideally, only the epoxy on the surface of the layup wants to be abraded. Any deeper results in removal of structural material. But that's probably all theory as the important thing is to generate a c

Rob Millenchip (painting guru in the UK) also flexibilizes PPG primer-filler for use on fabric covered aircraft!!. The violet tint will make base-white into whiter-than-white (as I'm sure you know).
Silver, in the language of "light" is effectively grey; somewhere between white and black. I painted mine in pearl white, which seems quite dark from some angles but is nearly compensated by brighter
Are you sure that the Smooth Prime isn't the root of the problem? e.g. the high talc content would easily adsorb surface contamination, which may only be removable by further sanding immediately prio
One possibility is that, on some modern alternators (certainly on the Bosch Compact range) the regulator will cause deliberately a higher regulated voltage at lower ambient temperatures. This is beca
