Scale Model RC Helicopters > can I re-fuelproof my fuse after use

I think I need to get my fuse re-fuel proofed. Can I do this? I've flown the thing already and realized that the new holes I drilled for the exhaust and frame screws are getting a lot of fuel drippings. The fuse is all painted and everything. I just want to get it re-fuelproofed so it will last longer.

Anybody on this board know where I could take this to get it sprayed with fuel proof coating. I live in Chino Hills, CA. I'm thinking some autobody shop could probably do it for a small fee.

Thanks.

You have to throughly clean the whole machine, sand it lightly depending on the clear which the body shop uses, and then clear it. If you take it to them after you remove all the mechanics, they will tell you what you are going to have to do to reclear it.

Joe,

What would be an appropriate cleaner (one that
non-body shops (ie. me)) could obtain?

You can use Windex on the fuse to get most of the residue off of the fuse.

Vario,

What kind of fuel proof should I look for?
