Firewall protection
This is probably a dumb question, but I don't want to screw up. I just replaced the firewall in an ARF and I want to coat it with MinWax Polyurethane Clear. Is this stuff fuel proof??I'm using a DLE20 on the airplane.
Thanks in advance,

RE: Firewall protection
Polyurethane will work. Two or three coats. So will epoxy thinned a bit with denatured alcohol. I have used both. Gas engines aren't quite as bad as glow as far as messing up a firewall. Probably not enough oil to really soak the wood.
