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........
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.
