Metal weld spatter can cause spatter build-up inside nozzles and tips, restricting inert gas flow and leading to porous welds. Cleaning consumables or disposal of them leads to downtime and higher costs. Thermal Defender TD-97 offers a cost-effective solution: it is a dry film, ceramic coating that can be sprayed onto parts in under a minute and offers protection against spatter build-up, allowing gas to flow freely and reducing maintenance. Versatile and economical, it is suitable for a wide range of welding environments.
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!
