Anybody ever use PolyLux?

It's what George Applebay uses on all of his aircraft. *It can be

I've sprayed Prestec successfully using a Laquer gun, and also a HVLP
conversion gun. 1.8mm tip and thinned per specs with Acetone.

That being said, only rarely do I get a non-orange peel finish, but
the stuff cuts easily if you get to it within a day of setting.
