Weedlesketch Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Hopefully simple..... 1) Is the correct canopy procedure to clean, dip in Klear, mask, then paint? 2) Is this the right stuff...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixII Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Afternoon @Weedlesketch, quick answer, no. Reason, it contains wax, the original Klear didn't. There is another product within the SC Johnson range that is closer, or the product from 'Lakeland' called shine, which has had favorable reviews, apart from it's price! Still cheaper than you can get original Klear for........... HTH Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I love the spelling mistake on that bottle. "Formally known a Klear". They probably meant "Formerly known as Klear", unless Klear is just its Sunday name? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckw Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The one you want is called "Revive It floor gloss" I have never seen a bottle looking like the one posted by the OP, nor is there anything like it on the SC Johnson website. Given the brilliant typo, could it be people are actually producing fake versions of Klear? I find it hard to believe that a multi-national company of this size would let such a typo slip through what must be multiple layers of marketing people.

dnl42 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Just a note, there is Looks Like Glass. I brush it on after the frames are painted. Sometimes also after the canopy is attached. I don't dip canopies in this stuff as it doesn't like being coated with Mr Color paints. No info on interactions with other paints or formulations.

Yup, that's the one. I use the procedure you suggest, and have had no problems with enamel or Tamiya/Mr Hobby acrylics. Not tried lacquers. Cheers.

Yes… used on acrylics, enamels, and lacquers for over 20 years. Both before and after paint. Never had an issue yet.
