HumiSeal - Transparent Coating, Conformal, Liter Can | 1B15
HumiSeal® 1B15 is a single component, fast drying, easily repaired, acrylic conformal coating intended for printed circuit assemblies. HumiSeal® 1B15 coating is RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC compliant. The substrate's cleanliness is of extreme importance for the successful application of a conformal coating. Surfaces must be free of moisture, dirt, wax, grease, flux residues, and other contaminants. Contamination under the coating could cause problems that may lead to assembly failures.

Ordering was easy. Spoke with a professional and friendly person.
Shipping was fast only two days.
Used the product on a boat outboard motor and bracket.
Excellent primer for bare aluminum.
Couldn’t have gone better from ordering to product results.
Thank you!
I built this kit as a teenager most of 55 years ago. The kit is essentially the same, but now they’re laser cut. In the past, the panels were die-cut, sometimes you get one done with a dull cutter. That took a lot of extra time, carefully re-scoring everything with a narrow Exacto blade so the pieces wouldn’t split. This kit is so crisp, it’s a joy to assemble. It’s fun seeing old reflexes come to life while assembling this baby. I only have the FW-190 from those years, but also built this one (the Hellcat), the Spitfire, Me-109, and the P-40. Good times!
