Model Forum / General / Models / November 2006

A few weeks ago, a couple of posters queried if there was some Alclad on the
market recently that didn't behave properly -- basically never fully dried
nor became impervious to white spirits. About the same time, I purchased
four bottles of various shades of Alclad online and gradually realized that
they all suffered from the slow/non-dry symptom. In reading through postings
to the HyperScale forum, I discovered that Tony ("Mr. Alclad II") had asked
people having problems to email him directly. I did so, telling him the four
shades I had bought, and that they weren't behaving properly. I received an
email back from him about 24 hours later, asking for my mailing address so
that he could ship me four replacement bottles. There have been a lot of
less-than-complimentary postings at HyperScale about Alclad/Tony's response
to the issue, so I want to make it known that as far as I'm concerned, his
response has been totally satisfactory. I also want to say that it's a great
product. I'm just finishing a MiG-21 in NMF, having used six different
shades of Alclad, and I'm really pleased with the result.
