Re: Coat the float?

[opposedtwin]

Here’s a question I haven’t seen addressed yet in this thread. For those of you that tried the aero-gloss or any other airplane dope, are you using ethanol-free gas? I have coated multiple old cork floats with aero-gloss without any issues. I am on year 4 with a number of them. But, I never, ever, ever use gas that has any ethanol in it. Years ago on this board we had discussions about dope and ethanol and determined it’s best not to use ethanol at all. It’s not compatible with many of the components in the fuel systems of these old motors. So, are you using gas with ethanol in it or not?
