Any reason why I shouldn’t use this stuff for a clear coat?
http://www.autozone.com/paint-and-bo...el/465393_0_0/ I was told it would be the most durable. I am not there yet just double checking. The first layer of paint layed down nice and flat. Me heppy.

Acrylic, acrylic enamel or oil based paint should be ok no? I bought some bike frame tubes years ago from a renowned builder but never got around to doing anything with them, I am using one of them to experiment on, so i will test the clear on the test tube first.

All pumped up! A Silca restoration thread.
What can cause internal leakage? The plunger rises and the pressure goes down on my track pump. I pulled the check valve and blew the housing out with compressed air, but it still has an internal leak. The small o-ring on the check valve linked OK. I put the bottom of the pump in a bucket of water when pressurized and there is no external leak. I guess I'll have to pull the plunger and check valve and blow it all out. Maybe there's a particle of leather in there or something holding the check valve open.
Update: I replaced the small o-ring on the check valve and that fixed the leak. Last edited by MikeD; 03-27-2017 at 01:11 PM.
