It's in my trash can right now, that stick-em stuff. I thought someone
on here might just know what it is, I do not, nor does that rate high on my
need to do list, finding out exactly what it is. I don't have need for
it, right now, though when I do find out, I will buy some to put in my
'fix-it' box.
In the mean time, I am down to 150 grit, sanding all those parts of
motorcycle and I have about two more grits to go before I can
spray.....What a pain, all these little radiuses, scallops, NACA ducts,
fastener holes, cracks and missing pieces. Ugg. Almost 3 full days of
sanding....but the alternative is to spend more on new plastic than I
actually spent on the V-4 motorcycle....
