Idea
can the flite test foam sheet models be fuel proofed?
As shown in the vids topic its is possible to fly some of the flite test kits on glow.
Biggest question is if the waterproof foam is already fuel proof or needs additional fuel proofing. If so what would be best? |

The WBPU smell reminds me of commercial grade acrylic floor wax, may be a derivative product, one of the other or vice versa.

We tend to use the name for an entire family of chemicals for a couple specific products. There are many WBPU's other than the Polycrylic product line. |

Never tried it as a fuel-proofing solution though. |

fuel will not eat up DTFB. in fact, ive flown a few models made from DTFB, one being the ft mini scout with a peewee .020. the foam holds up fine, but it will soak up the exhaust like a sponge ad the paper will come unglued and wont stick to anything. glow flite test planes are fun projects, but by no means long term.
