  • Short side? Actually, I'm still doing my homework, lol. I don't plan on getting too aggressive with them anyway.
    No Datsun work as of late. Car work has halted quite a bit, until I get finished with the tooling that I'm working on in the garage.

    Almost done with the TIG welding pedal and cart is next.

    I just sacrificed a beer keg, cut the top off of it and poured concrete in the base. Wating for it to set up, so I can use my concrete form and fill the lid for my foundry. I'm casting some aluminum parts.
    Mine was a 511.I'm wanting to build a 557 with B 1 heads in pump gas for the valiant but am not making the money I use to.I'm down 500 to a grand a week!
    Let it cure up for a couple weeks, scratch it flat (unless it's a metallic, then just hit it with scotch-brite and ajax) then clear it. I've done a few single stages with clear over them. They hold up just fine.
    My 340 in the Valiant was balanced when I built it, the rotating assembly...haven't run it yet with the fluidampr, short funds $$$ to put it back together, need a highflow water pump yet then its ok to go, been draggin feet and using $ for non car stuff....sucks but you know priorities........
    Clear also being substituted for a single stage. It's the same stuff, but with color pigment.
    1.9 is up there. my guess would be that it's just what you mentioned. The best thing you can do is contact a valspar rep or store that carries it and see if you can get the catalyst for it and the P page.

    There are universal catalysts out there for most urethane topcoats, but I know that Glasurit changes up some of their components so that you can't use their clear without their catalyst. They have a 1:1 ratio, though. Most other clears are like 4:1, 4:1:1 or 4:2:1 or something really close, for clear:catalyst or clear:reducer:catalyst.

    I would assume that Valspar is a 4:1 deal or close.
    DTM acronym is usually Direct To Metal. Shoot a test panel of each one. Do you have a part number on the Valspar?
