can I use Polycrylic for clear coat

[K9000wner]

quick question does Minwax Polycrylic remain waterpoof or at least Highly water repellent so as to be used on parts of rc boats ?

as a clear coat...

can it be used on the hull?

thanx

I used it on my Belknap and it turned it a yellow. Had to repaint.

Every piece of wood in this boat is coated with Minwax polycrylic, and I have not seen any problems. Seems quite waterproof to me as well.

I have used this on my Dumas Cobra.I caulked my seams with a white light weight sandable filler.Its over mahogany thats been cherry stained.You can't see anything on the plank's.But after now 4 years the white has yellowed.I would not recommend using It on any light colors.Whites, Off Whites, Dianna Creams or the likes.It will show yellowing with age!!

I used it on the decks of Caylpso..

Only proplem i see is the it hangs at the joints ..a foam brush was used to get it all smoothed out..

unlike water say ...it dosent attract to itself.
