    Default An epoxy varnish reducer heads up

    The contents of my last can of epoxy varnish reducer had just “disappeared” when I went to use it a few months ago. I wrote it off to a cap that maybe hadn’t been tightened enough so I bought another can. After using a small amount I made sure the cap was tight and stored it in a tightly sealed Ziploc bag.

    Yesterday I was planning on coating a few parts and when I pulled the varnish and reducer from storage, the bag contained a large amount of the reducer - outside the can. Luckily the bag had held.

    Kudos to Conaircraft who quickly responded to an email and a replacement is on its way. Apparently this does occur but it is 1/50,000 cans rare.
